Description
This add-on controls Lifx lights based on the following light groups, fully configurable using the setup wizard from addon settings.
- Theater Group
- Lights in the theater group act like wall lights in a typical theater. When playback starts the lights dim and they undim when playback is paused or ends. If you only want some of the lights to undim during pause, it is possible to configure "subgroup" in add-on settings -> Theater and only dim the subgroup.

- Ambilight Group
- Ambilight group tries to control the lights similarly to modern ambilight TVs. The add-on tries to figure out the most represented colors and brightness in each frame and change the lights to reflect that. They can also be configured to work similarly to theater group when playback is paused.
