A desktop app sampling the screen, deriving color information from it and sending that to Hue Entertainment capable Zigbee lights via Zigbee2mqtt.
The general idea of the concept being to "extend" the screen beyond its boundaries through some LED strips, Lamps, etc.
Basically:
If your screen is red, it makes the wall behind the screen red.
Lots of LLM, a bit of Ghidra. Occasionally a tiny bit of thought.
Important
This is extensively vibecoded software, meaning that there are various places where it lacks intentionality or reason.
Which, to be fair, is not all that different from the output of the rest of the industry.
In fact, it might be better than that, since I've occasionally yelled at the LLM when it completely lost the plot.
The industry does not have these guard rails, friction and corrective counterpressures anymore.
It just has HR ensuring nice words.
Make of that what you will.
Unless what you will is cargo-culting a mirage of "friction" and thinking that just because you're an asshole, suddenly software becomes good.
That is not how that works.
- Ambilight is neat
- Modern Philips TVs are not neat
- Hue bridge is proprietary (+ cloud) (+ account)
- Hue sync box costs >250€
- Bifrost needs some weird networking stuff
- Hyperion hw setup looks gefrickelt
- Excess solar => free LLM inference
- Zigbee2MQTT in some recent version
- Hue Entertainment capable Hue RGB light running some recent firmware version
An inexhaustive list.
Legally distinct.

Just download Qwen3.6-27b yourself. It is literally free.
Then click fork. Then stay in that fork.
Unless you're cool that is.
I think not.
