Firelight is an open source bias lighting program which syncs up colored lights to the contents of your screen or TV, providing an immersive experience.

To install:

pip install firelight-lighting

To install directly from Github:

git clone https://github.com/roshie548/firelight.git
cd firelight
pip install .

Currently, Firelight only supports LIFX lights. To start the application, simply run:

firelight lifx

Firelight will automatically discover the lights connected to your WiFi network and will start syncing their colors to your screen. Please make sure that the lights are on to see the effect. You can exit the application at any time by pressing Ctrl + C.

For best results, use Firelight when watching full screen movies. Firelight does not work well with general web browsing, as it will try to pick interesting colors on your screen. This could mean lots of jitter when using for general use. I may consider adding a general use mode in the future.

If you need some help or would like more features added, please open an issue. Also, feel free to submit pull requests for any features you'd like to add yourself.

These are features/improvements that I would like to tackle next:

• Add Philips Hue compatibility
• Investigate interactions with scenes that include many bright, shifting colors that cause rapid flashing or color changes
