Hi Everyone

I have two hue play lights connected too my windows computer running the hue sync app it has great results but does not play nicely with my smart home controller (Openhab)

the hyperion windows grabber also runs on this computer and plays very nicely with openhab so i would like too swap the hue lights over too hyperion

i have seen a quide for this on the forum but its a little involved so my question is how good is the support for hue and hyperion how configurable is it? can i select different zones of my tv for the different lights? is it worth the swap?

and you sure you used pin 12 aka gpio 18?

and are the Grounds from the rpi AND the leds connected?

100% sure just opened it all up too check

only cable from the pi is pin 12 gpio 18 connected too strip data in and psu connected live and negative too strip

ok could you provide some logs + config, from webui

i set the loglevel too debub in the webUI there is nothing generated

do you just want a copy of the config the json file?

ok, and what happens if you set a soldi color? do the leds work normal?

nothing stops them from flashing and showing random colours setting a solid colour an effect ,the windows grabber the only thing that stops them is powering off the pi

this is the stip

try it with a shorter cable, just to be sure

just made it shorter cant make it any shorter same issue

Zitat von TPmodding

if you dont use a level shiffter, which is needed, then be sure that the wire from the pi to the leds are short as possible

i don't have a level converter could that be causing this exact problem

the cable from the RPI is a standard short dupont cable 15cm

i have just brought some anything else i can try just in case?

which leds

Hi thanks for the reply really appreciate it they are WS2812 I'm using RPI PWM WS281X

if you mean what leds on the strip they are all acting like that

Hi everyone having some issues with my setup its new and i'm new too this

RPI 3B+ connected too leds via GPIO 18 external 5v 10a psu used too power the strip and im using the windows grabber too send screen information thats working fine i can see the colours on the hyperion live view changing they are perfect but the led strip is not doing that its acting randomly

its showing random colours and flashing

SOLVED

Changing the priority settings of the grabber from 10 to 100 solved the problem

Hi everyone i'm new here don't know if I have posted this in the right place but i'm trying too get this project up and running

I have installed raspian lite on my Pi 3B+ installed hyperion on the pi all working fine can access the webGUI

as I only want the lightsync too run from my windows htpc atm so i decided too avoid the capture card and use the windows grabber

i have installed the grabber on the system pointed it too the hyperion server but when clicking the live view the picture is completely scrambled and i cant see any sample lights shown around the screen

i have not added the led strip too the pi yet

any tips or help debugging greatly appreciated
