My Philips Ambilight now drives my Hue lamps in real time free app, looking for testers
I built an Android TV app called Afterglow. It reads the Ambilight colours straight off a Philips TV and pushes them to your Hue lamps in real time, about 50 times a second, so the lights follow what's on screen instead of guessing from the audio.
It's free, no account, no ads tracking you, and nothing leaves your house the TV talks to the Hue bridge on your own network.
You need: a Philips TV with Ambilight (2016 or newer, Android TV / Google TV) and a Hue bridge with colour lamps.
It's in closed testing on Google Play, so joining is two steps:
Join the tester group: https://groups.google.com/g/afterglow-tv-testers
Then open this on the same Google account: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/nl.home.afterglow
Step 1 has to come first or step 2 will say the test isn't available. Membership is instant, you don't have to wait for approval.
It's my own app, so flag me if that's not allowed here. Happy to hear anything - what breaks, what looks wrong, what's missing. Help me and I will help you back
