CLUSTER AMBIENT-COLORS-LIGHTING · 6 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-02-03

Screen-synced ambient lighting

Tools that sync on-screen colors to external lights for an ambient effect, spanning open-source displays, Hue Entertainment sync, LED backlight control, and media plugin integrations. The dated history is too thin to infer a timeline shape (only 3 dated entries before index start), so no trend can be assessed. Jellyfin-ambilight leads traction with 31 stars, while the other two show none.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 6 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
