Philips TV Ambiligt -> Philips Hue

This project was created in order to be able to fetch colors from your Philips Ambilight TV and send these colors to your Philips Hue Lights. There are mobile apps doing the same but they will quickly drain your battery since there are a lot of Network Requests going on in order to achieve this.

This project is currently dependent on a related Mobile app that is being used to control the behavoiur of this app (i.e. which Lights to update). You need it in order to configure the IP of your Ambilight TV and Hue Bridge.
