First let me say thanks for this amazing software. I put my setup together using a RPi 3b with a RPI Cam V2 in an Eleduino case. It's running RetroPie with GStreamer and rpicamsrc to provide an RTSP feed of my front door to my security dvr. Used a Flirc USB to control colors/effects from my remote.

227 APA102 LED's at 72 on top, 71 on bottom, and 40 on each side. Only 1 LED missing from a complete ring around the television. 5v20a power source on the LEDs. I initially tried to power the Pi from the same source but was getting low voltage warnings so I put the Pi on its own power source. No level shifter installed, may add later though.

I used command strips to attach everything to the back of the tv so it is easily removed. Command mini light clips on the led strip. I used outdoor mounting pads I picked up from the hardware store with zip ties to hold the wires in place.

Now I just have to get the color calibration right. I'm dreading this part.

My base os is RetroPie. I am set up with an external grabber. I have a Flirc USB plugged in and use an old led remote to set colors, start/stop hyperion, swap camera from day/night mode, start/exit emulation station. I would like to come up with a way to swap from external to internal grabber from my remote. Either by command or script preferably.

Can hyperion capture internally when configured to use an external grabber?

If not then, Is there a command for hyperion-remote that could swap grabber?

Or, Will I have to use a script to swap configuration files, stop and start hyperion?

I know I could loop the Pi's HDMI output through the splitter , but then I'd need a 2 input splitter and a way to swap those inputs, which complicates things.

I'm putting together a system and have a similar question. My RPI will be running a security camera so it will remain on all the time. If I get a master/slave plug and plug my LED's as a slave to turn them off with the tv while keeping my RPI in a constant plug, will there be any kind of issue with the data/spi/ground being connected to the RPI? I don't think there will be, but it is a possibility I want to cross off my list. I think this might be a better solution than using a remote to trigger a script turning the LED's down to 0.
