Features

  • Extract most relevant colors from a picture and assign them to lights
  • Always creates great matching moody ambiances
  • Change all configured lights color at the same time using multithreading

If you are running AppDaemon in your own docker container, you must create and build a docker image with the above dependencies using a Dockerfile similar to this (untested):
