A quick update on the project, I am mapping the bulbs before installing,
this is what the bridges looks like now, I need to do some cabling management afterwards.
Hyperion Will be powered by a iMac 5k running windows on bootcamp with the following specs:
Core i9 9900K @ 3.68Ghz
40GB Ram
AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 8GB Video Ram
Everything will be connected to a TP Link Archer 23 router and two switches,
one 48 Port and one 16 Port a total of 60 Bridges will be connected.
Hope this will be enough
To keep it simple I will just use OBS to stream the scene to the capture cart with the color I need to display. I am not able to write scripts or any sort of coding, so to avoid any failure of the system I will simplify the system. Maybe for next time.
for the matter, do you know I can use the OBS virtual camera as capture device instead of an hardware device? if not I will just send the OBS preview into an additional capture card
Regarding the stock I have about 50 bridge and 600 HUE bulbs laying around.
Lord-Grey thank you, maybe I misunderstood your previous post, so the limit is set by the hue app which means v1 or v2 doesn't matter as the hard limit is 10 bulbs per room.
thank you,
Hello Lord-Grey, thank you for your quick reply, but I don't understand what do you mean, I cannot add more than 10 bulbs to the Hue entertainment room, so hyperion just see ten bulbs. Where should I change this code?
as of the computer that will run Hyperion I am using a Mac Pro with the following specs:
The computer will mostly only run Hyperion.
Is there also a way to activate and add an effect to all the LED instance at once without having to go trough the whole list?
Lord-Grey Can In a few day the project will be set up, I received hundreds of bulbs, so far the testing has gone smoothly, my only question is you mentioned that with the v2 of the entertainment API I can create rooms of 20 bulbs, but unfortunately for now I can only add a max of 10, I am trying to get in touch with someone of the tech team from Signify but I am pursuing both ways as the time is shrinking.
Can you explain to me how to enable the v2 of the Entertainment API?
Thank you,
Looking forward to share the outcomes.
Thank you very much, wasn't considering to use the "current led configuration", that's amazing, I will share how it goes once the project is ready! thank you very much
Thank you for the reply, this actually clarify a lot.
so I can divide the screen in smaller areas than the predefined?
Thank you, I have done some testing lately with two bridges and a few bulb on each bridge, my only concern now us that hyperion for HUE follow a strange order for the positionig of light in space or gives 5 prefixed position (Left Corner, Top Left 0-50%, Center, Top Right 50%-100%, Right Corner), and completely ignore the position provided by the hue app.
Is there a way to put al the lights in place?
Thank you again
Thank you everybody for answering my post, I do have concern regarding the stability of the system, not about hyperion or the machine running it but more about the communication between the bridges and the bulbs, of course this would need testing.
About the need of more bridges its not of a concern, if these are required to relieve the stress of the communication system between hyperion and the bulbs, I will ask for more bridges.
I understand the technical challenges and possible solution, but by no means I am an expert on the software side of the things, Ideally we want to have the solution as simple as possible, an most importantly reliable.
In a day or two I will receive a sample package with some bulbs and two bridges to test out even though I know Its not possible to understand the stability of a system this scale until we have a system this scale.
Question for both, do the HUEs connect to hyperion through the bridges (through a proprietary wireless solution) or do they also need a wireless infrastructure capable of that amount of wifi connected device?
Hi,
I've never created anything with hyperion yet, but I am about to study the feasibility for a massive project (500 HUE Bulbs), basically I would like to create a massive mesh of HUE Bulbs on the ceiling to be used as with hyperion for an event, each bridge has an official max amount of 50 bulbs connected, I would like to use multiple bridge to create areas and simplify the setup.
So the question is, can multiple HUE Bridge be connected to the same instance of Hyperion? can Hyperion Consider those bridge as a single light so I can create strips of bulb that have the same color without mapping every light or vice versa?
Thank you for all your support
