  • Xiaomi RGB Bulb simple UDP server solution

    So this is to use the RGB Bulb as a cheap ambilight:


    Set the mode as udp (new implementation is what I use)
    Set it up as 1 LED (use left or right), port 19446


    then set the ip to whatever computer can run this script:.


    You'll need to "pip install yeelight"


    The script/server:
    import socket
    import time
    from yeelight import *


    #UDP SERVER
    port = 19446
    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
    s.bind(("", port))
    print("waiting on port:", port)


    #YEELIGHT
    bulb = Bulb("BULB_IP_ADDRESS")
    bulb.turn_on()
    bulb.effect = "sudden"


    #Stop/Start music mode, bypasses lamp rate limits, ensures that previous sockets close before starting
    bulb.stop_music()
    time.sleep(1)
    bulb.start_music()
    time.sleep(1)


    while True:
    d = s.recvfrom(3)
    bulb.set_rgb(*bytearray(d[0]))

  • Does Hyperion work on Raspbian?

    I'm receiving the initial "rainbow" launch color data, but immediately after that it's all infinite 000000 data. Is it capable of reading off the screen on Raspbian running kodi, or does it need to be openelec/librelec?

  • Kodi + RPI 3 on raspbian

    Hi! (Double-post from Hardware, realized this is a generic software feature/request/problem )


    I'm attempting to create a lowcost rgbw ambilight setup, using a wifi-connected rgbw lightbulb from xiaomi that allows python/json commands to set rgb-colors. I'm attempting to see if Hyperion can be setup to work with Kodi on a Raspberry Pi 3 to average screen color and then run submit rgbw colors as arguments to a python script.


    Has anyone tried something similar and could perhaps direct me towards a resource to read up on how to get hyperion to forward rgb colors to a python script?


    This is what I'm trying to use (using python-yeelight library):


    [INDENT]from yeelight import *
    import sys


    bulb = Bulb(IPADDRESS)
    bulb.turn_on()



    while True:
    input = sys.stdin.readline()
    print(input)
    inputData=input.split(' ')
    if(len(inputData)>3):
    r = float(inputData[0])
    g = float(inputData[1])
    b = float(inputData[2])
    bulb.set_rgb(r, g, b)[/INDENT]



    I can see it can output a file, but is it possible to get it outputting as a continuous stream to a python script as above?


    Sorry if the question is vague..
