    Hm - I'm missing the ambibox logfile - any idea where it shoudl be located?

    Not sure if it has debug options with logging, normally they would it in their own program folder or c:\programdata\<program / devevloper name>

    it's not included to hyperion now ?

    Hyperion supports all FastLED hardware (including WS2812) if you use a Arduino as go between which is part of my guide :)
    Also APA102 so would be a great alternative to any Ambibox / lightpack setup ;)

    It can be done just wouldn't advice it to anyone as it's still using hardware the way it wasn't intended to be used :p

    Just noticed this project in the thread there:

    https://github.com/ellisium/adaZones

    Pretty cool and uses AdaLight protocol to tunnel it from Hyperion.
    Still have multi-Hyperion server support for AtmoLight on my to-do list so guess that is coming sooner than expected :)

    Yeah looks laggy in the video, not sure if its his code or just too low baud rate but everything is fixable :)
    With AtmoLight it would work like this:

    AtmoLight --> Hyperion server #1 - TV ambilight (current)
    AtmoLight --> Hyperion server #2 -> backend server (AdaZones) -> COM port -> lamps (NEW zones)

    AdaZones is missing key documentation so will have to wait for the complete picture.

    ok - did a reinstall comin from 2.1.6 and now it writes a log - but not much in it (even on Detail level). The good thing - the lag is now gone. The Badf thing - it seems as if MP disconnects and reconnectes immediatly ever - hm - 3 Minutes -

    The Mediaportal-error.log shows that AmbiBox drops the connection:

    Code:

    Believe another user had that same problem but it seemed to happen at random times without any way to determine why, @Lightning303 might know more about this as he created the handler :)
    Also @zekaja posted some settings that might help you get a stable connection:
