Thanks so much! Does the limited baudrate (115200) cause any problems or latency?
Is it better to use WLED over WiFi or another method maybe?
EDIT: What about solutions like HyperSerialESP32 or HyperSerialWLED?
EDIT2: Do I need an ESP32 for my SK6812 RGBW? I'm using an RPi 4 but I heard you can't connect them directly?
I'm using SK6812 RGBW LEDs and was told I needed to use an ESP32 to control the LEDs instead of directly connecting it to the Raspberry Pi.
I've installed WLED on an ESP32 and it works great over wifi but can I just connect the ESP32 to the Raspberry Pi (Hyperion) and have them communicate using USB?
Should I use something different on the ESP32 besides WLED?
OK - Thanks! I was just wondering if there is a disadvantage to starting in a different position. (and defining the input position)
I understand you can change the start position, but I was thinking Hyperion used the corner as a default because of some reasoning?
Does two instances mean two instances of Hyperion running?
I see the "First LED Hardware instance" in the GUI but don't see where I define a second one?
Oh, I meant for the LED strip and not the electronics.
It looks like Hyperion assumes you are starting in the top left corner (facing the front) but that will require longer power/data cables which seems inefficient? (re: voltage drop)
I'm so sorry I didn't see this reply until now. Thank you so much for the help!
I've just received my LED strips so I'm going to install and use them as well.
If I understand correctly, your template assigns Hue Bulb 1 to the colors in the top left of the TV, Hue Bulb 2 to the middle colors, and Bulb 3 to the top right colors.
Does Hue Bulb 4 show the "average" color of the entire frame?
For example, can I configure all bulbs like bulb 4 so all ceiling lights just show the same color (which is an average of the entire picture frame) ?
This might be a silly question, but is there a preferred or recommended starting position for the LEDs behind the TV?
I was planning to start at the bottom in the middle so it is easier to hide the wires behind the TV stand, etc. However I've seen a lot of videos of people starting in the top right corner (facing the back) but this seems to cause the power/signal wires to hang almost off the side of the TV.
Thanks for the help!
I'm aware of the bug in the Hue wizard but I've used the Hue API directly to generate a username/clientkey (and entertainment area) just to experiment and it's working perfectly. I'll be curious to see how the wizard generates the LED layout though.
It looks like the custom layouts require you to assign each bulb to certain areas of the TV screen. Is it possible to assign all bulbs to the center of the screen or something similar? I'm thinking the ceiling lights should set the ambiance/average lighting of the scene and the TV LEDs would be the specific frame, etc.
I've been able to successfully connect my Hue BR30 ceilings lights to Hyperion and I've also enabled Hue Entertainment.
Everything is working great, but how can I configure the LED layout? It seems like it only supports looking at the TV but not a "ceiling" configuration. (ie. I have 4 bulbs in the ceiling spread out across the room)
If I'm using the Raspberry Pi 4, do I need more than 2GB RAM?
Can I use an LED strip behind my TV an then BR30/PAR30 (ie. recessed lighting bulbs) too?
Does Hyperion support any BR30/PAR30 bulbs?
