Lots of Hue integrations with audio sources use the beat of the song to change the light colors. But I wanted something that worked in the background, like bias lighting but for sound. I couldn't find anything I wanted, so I made it. This is a fun experiment for now, but I welcome feedback and feature requests!

@cvalleskey very subtle and great for ambient lighting. Nice!

@alexanderspoor @amrith Thank you for the feedback! I'm looking into a better solution that allows for HTTPS. The Philips Hue bridge uses a self-signed certificate, so any requests to the API "pollute" the connection and put up a big red insecure flag in your browser.

When the next song comes on then all the lights go to 50%. It is supposed to do that? I feel that are kind of annoying... Besides that, i really like the idea and would love it if it came to smart TVs or Chromecast and maybe if the light would move wavey to the playing music👍🏽😄

@oliver_bunk Thank you for trying it out! That shouldn't be happening. I'll run some tests. It should default to 50% brightness for enabled lights, but that can be changed with the number keys. The plan is to make it a native app that works in the background. Thank you for the feedback on cycling colors!
