[QUOTE="Rick164, post: 1176896, member: 17766"] Hue setting was empty in config so that might be the cause, would try the attached config with 0.0.88 beta version as that one worked last time with the latest Philips bridge firmware :) Their lightstrips+ I haven't played with but the main bottleneck is their protocol because the bridge needs to relay it over WiFi (Zigbee) which has build in limits for epilepsy and/or better fading, there have been other Hue libraries (not in C# sadly) that have improved speed but since Philips never designed them for that in mind to begin with it is always gonna be a workaround or hack. We have a good alternative for Hue and ambilight if you want to build your own btw, it's called AtmoOrb which is stable and very fast over WiFi (1ms respond times) The most easiest build option is to to use a Photon like in this tutorial: [URL]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/diy-atmoorb-a-hue-like-mood-lamp-based-on-particle-photon-with-neopixel-tutorial-added.131901/[/URL] Using 2 Orbs daily without issues for months now :) , the protocol is pretty flexible and currently waiting for a new firmware so we can start expanding to large led arrays (200+ party lights and what not). You can also connect strips to it so doesn't really need to be a lamp as the ring used can expand to any WS2812 led type as well. [/QUOTE]
