How to make Philips hue gradient lightstrip show multiple colours

[gibahjoe]

Hi, So I have Philips hue gradient lightstrip at the back of my tv. When I use Hyperhdr, it seems it only supports showing one colour on the gradient lightstrip. How can I fix this or work around it? Is there a setting I am missing?

Hi
Gradient light-strip is only limited supported. To have it fully supported somebody must present or lend me such setup or request ready to use PR which implements it fully, as my previous experience with Philips Hue devices discourages to program them blindly.

I could try to make a pr for this. Could you point me in the right direction on what to look out for?

[awawa-dev]

You need Philips developer account for the docs https://developers.meethue.com/ Also here, on github there are some implementations of the gradient lightstrips support that could be helpful if something in the docs is not clear. I can help you integrate your changes with HyperHDR if you have questions.

Great! I will test it later with my setup.

1 Hue wizard (v1) doesnt work anymore

2 Does httpResponse::QMap<QString, QString> getHeaders() const; (and headers) are needed for something? there is no reference for them in the app.

[gibahjoe]

1. resolved
   2). Yes headers are used to get the application ID which determines which application is currently streaming to the Lights. You can find usage here in the PR

Thank you for the prompt response. Can confirm the wizard is working again. My VS2022 didn't refresh new files in leddevice folder so that's why it couldn't find the reference. Everything is fine now.
