Sync your Magic Home device to your display and control it all via Homebridge
MIT License
This Homebridge plugin provides a simple switch that enables and disables a Python script on a host display. The script finds the most dominant colour on the display ands sends it to a Magic Home light.
The result is a much more immersive viewing experience.
Given that you already have Homebridge installed and set up, you can install this plugin with the following command:
$ sudo npm install -g homebridge-magichome-sync
A Python version >= 3 must be used to run the host application.
First you must clone the repository on the host machine using the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/mjsamuel/Homebridge-MagicHome-Sync.git
After that, to create a virtual environment for all the projects dependencies to be installed into, use the following commands:
# Navigate to the host folder
$ cd Homebridge-MagicHome-Sync/host
# Create a Python virtual environment
$ python -m venv venv
# Activate the virtual environment
$ source ./venv/bin/activate
# Download the requirements
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Once all the dependencies have been installed, to run the Python script use the following command:
$ python run.py
The Python application can also be configured to run on startup using tools such as forever
or launchctl
.
