[Snapcase]

Hello,

I created this addon for my own use to adjust my lights based on Kodi. It can adjust lights based on playback options, and includes experimental support for Ambilight.

Requirements

• Kodi 19 Matrix or higher
  
• Hue Bridge V2 (Square)
  

Installation - Stable version

1. Install Hue Service from official Kodi Repo
   
2. Adjust your Hue lights using the official or a 3rd party Hue app to the desired configuration
   
3. Go to add-on settings and select "Create scene" to save your light set up.
   
4. In video or audio actions, select your newly created scene to be applied when you play, pause or start media
   

Installation - Development version

1. Get Repo for auto-updates
   
2. Install to Kodi from Zip 
   
3. Install Hue Service from Snapcase Repo
   
4. Adjust your Hue lights using the official or a 3rd party Hue app to the desired configuration
   
5. Go to add-on settings and select "Create scene" to save your light set up.
   
6. In video or audio actions, select your newly created scene to be applied when you play, pause or start media

  • Hardware decoding not supported with all hardware renderers
    
•    Daylight detection

  • Disable during daylight hours
    
  • If sunset falls while watching media, optionally turn on lights
    
  • Add-on does nothing at sunset if there's no playback
    
• Enable schedule
  • Set a start and end time at which the add-on should be enabled
    
  • Time in 24h format (Eg: 22:00, not 10:00 PM)

Known Issues:

• Does not support multiple bridges on your network
