    Might be a problem with individual light settings + set brightness on start-up enabled, is it happening at certain times or actions?

    Not sure it's just that I noticed it sometimes and its always light 2. Im not aware if I was doing anything special but I don't think so. What can I try to get this fixed? Any wrong config? i can provide my config file tonight when I get home from work incase it will help

    Seems as the Osram Lightify Lamps are comaptibel tu teh Philips hue :)

    Ok - got myself a Osram one - of course I dod. But the price is the same as vor teh Philips bulb. The first imprssiion is that is much more "nerveaus" than teh Philips Iris or led stripe. But I could identify if it's simply faster and if teh colors sre correct. Also - in teh Philisp app it's schown as Builb - what is teh impact of teh setting in hue - colorcorrection?

    Did some more testing for the individual light settings and it might be fixed with the new release, let me know if it works better :)

    Color correction is global at the moment, so no impact on for the Osram bulb :)
    Are the colors better with the Osram in any way and does it have a faster color transition speed by any chance?

    New version below.
    Lots of changes by @Lightning303 to the color corrections and brightness calculations, result is very good as instead of one static brightness it now changes based on the scene :)

    15-12-2014 - AtmoLight BETA & AtmoHue updated

    AtmoHue 0.0.80

    - Changed test color function to also include brightness.

    - Added option to enable/disable the Brightness override, enabling this will allow color commands from AtmoLight to include a brightness as well which will create a better experience during dark scenes for instance.
    Only works if you didn't enable "Only set brightness on startup..".

    AtmoLight 1.14.003.0 - BETA version

    - Improved average color calculations ( @Lightning303 )
    - Brightness calculations from colors (@Lightning303 )
    - VU meter enhancements ( @Lightning303 )

    Hm ... I would say it is talking with the bridge but obviously in a foreign language ;)

    when testing the color it only displays red - for each color seleced. During playback it flickers extremely and seems to send red in between. The brightnessetting is also not working. was worth a try but not more - will return the bulb ...

    Can you guys give some feedback on the new average color calculations for Hue?
    Is it better than before? Worse than before? The same?
    Anything you would like to see differently?

    Hi, Been using the new 0.80 including new atmolight and it works nice. The brightness calculation is great.

    @Rick164 the low brightness problem seems to be gone, but i've also disabled the set only brightness on first use to have the advantage of brightness calculation.

    @Lightning303 From what i've seen it looks very nice I think it's better than before but I have to test a bit more to be sure.

    One thing I noticed, i've set to only turn on my lights between 18:00 en 06:00 however when something is playing when the clock hits 18:00 I have to stop and start playing again to have the lights going on.

    The check for the time is only done when media starts or stops. It would be possible to check that continiously, but that could very fast get complicated considering the user could decide to manually turn off the lights. So last time i thought about something like that, i dropped it again.
    You could however just assign a remote button to toggle the leds.
