Home assistant lights
I assume you've already configured your lights in Home Assistant. The photo below shows Philips Hue lights connected via a ZigBee adapter.
If the lights work properly in Home Assistant, you need to create one more thing necessary to support them in HyperHDR: Long Lived Access Token.
You will find the required option in the Home Assistant user security settings as in the screenshot below.
You must copy it immediately when creating and save it.
Open HyperHDR and go to LED Hardware. Select "Home Assistant" from the tab and then click the button to launch the configuration wizard.
By clicking the Select Home Assistant button you can see the list of instances that HyperHDR has found and choose the one you are interested in. Then below you need to enter the Long Lived Access Token that you created earlier in Home Assistant. When finished click the Continue button.
On the next page HyperHDR will display all the supported lights it found in the Home Assistant instance. Now you can assign them a default position to the screen and intuit each of them (it will be turned off and on) so you can see which lamp you are configuring. You can always fix this configuration later in the LED layout editor. When you are done, save your changes.
Congratulations! That's all. In the options you can also:
-
choose between the RGB or HSL model. Each of them behaves slightly differently and it also depends on the lamp model how/whether it supports it or not
-
set
transition timewhich will provide smoother color transitions at the expense of delay -
by default
brightnessis dynamic and depends on the brightness of the selected color. However, you can change it and force it to be fixed -
if you want HyperHDR to restore to the original state it found at startup when turned off, check the option:
