[QUOTE="Rick164, post: 1103042, member: 17766"] Made a small test project and was able to retrieve the average rgb values via the dummy protocol with Atomwin, came up with a few possible setups: [B]Option 1 - send Atmowin average color to external Hue web service[/B] - Atmowin retrieves average color using "sumZone" information - Atmowin sends HTTP command to external Hue program - External Hue program than sends RGB information to all lights which you have setup there [B]Option 2 - Write current average color file and stream it with external Hue program[/B] - Atmowin retrieves average color using "sumZone" information - External Hue program opens continues file stream and parses information back to lights with set interval to avoid flickering and rapid color changes. [B]Option 3 - External Hue program polls Atmowin for average RGB information[/B] - Not enough C++ experience to archieve this but might be possible in the future. Option 1 is my preferred solution as its more robust and with that you would also be able to make your own web calls to change colors of the lights for future applications (Atmolight for instance). Next up is making the sumzone independent of the procotol which is needed anyways, have some free time next week as well so should make some progress :) There's also the small problem of not having any Hue devices so would need testers once I add the Hue code parts.
