I upgraded this one to a menubar application. Download Hyperion Remote.zip (Settings do not persist when restarting the App.) I'll keep the previous version available. |

I use Hyperion on my MacBook, whenever it's connected to my Desk-Setup with an external Monitor. That means to avoid unnecessary CPU usage and thus battery-consumption I need to quit Hyperion whenever I leave. However as it is I usually forget to do so.
It would be great if Hyperion would recognise whether it's actually in use, and if not stop screen-grabbing to avoid battery drain. If it, for instance either recognise that the LED controller (in my case adalight) is disconnected (erroring out?) or by setting the display capture to a specific monitor by vendor & device IDs, and thus stopping capturing once that display is unavailable.

Additionally to a restart button a power off button would be useful. At least or rather especially for Hyberbian instances.

I wrote a small AppleScript to control my local Hyperion instance. It can however be edited to support any external Hyperion installation as well.
I thought I might share it. 😊

https://s3-storage.textopus.nl…60345/Hue-camera-icon.pngTo control other Hyperion instances open the app with AppleScript Editor, and replace localhost with your Hyperion's IP or hostname (like 198.178.0.17 or Hyperion.local). I also made a Shortcut, which basically only runs the same AppleScript, though it might add some convenience fr some.
