Philips HUE Sync app

[informatiko 8]

It would be amazing to be able to use the Philips HUE and synchronize the lights with the video and audio of the LG TV.

Thanks

YES. PLEASE ADD THIS!

I can currently do "free" or non-DRM content using Hue Sync from a PC but it would be a HUGE feature to add this natively to WebOS. Application needs to send information about the displayed colors on a given area of the screen to the Hue Bridge over WiFi link. Hue Bridge would then tell the Hue Lights how and when to change color values. 

As there is no way to output video from the TV, the content providers should not have any DRM concerns. This would be the absolute cleanest solution and at least in the US market and would funnel so many buyers towards LG units. 

Summary of wish:

• Feature to be added to the "all settings" menu somewhere under display
• Selection enables the TV to run Hue Sync software
• TV then connects to the Hue Bridge on customer premises
• Whatever content is displayed on the TV screen from whatever source (streaming, cable box, etc.) is analyzed by Hue Sync software for color/placement information
• TV sends color and screen area information in real time to Hue Bridge
• Hue Bridge tells Hue Lights the appropriate color adjustments to make

Check it out in action:

Seconded. Ambilight is the only feature missing from these great TVs.

Would it be possible to get some kind of low-resolution image of the current output of the TV?
I.e. a picture of 16 x 9 pixels with the correct averages would be more than enough to build a DIY ambient light.

PS: I do understand that outputting the image is not possible with the DRM in place. But a downscaled version may be possible?

I would also love to have a native app for Hue Sync, so that I can use my lights for any input and not just the PC.

Would be great if that can be added.

Currently I have no good solution while watching Blu Rays or using Amazon Prime/Netflix directly on the TV.

This would be a great idea for my C8!

When is Zee5 app going to be available on LG webos?

No more need to buy a Philips Ambilight TV if LG would implement a Hue Sync app. I sure do hope that there is no restrictive agreement on that subject between Philips and LG.

I really want this too!

Or LG could just ignore this feature and wonder why their sales drop when competition releases this feature. That is not a very easy to implement feature and the first non-Phillips TV producer that does that will have a clear marketing advantage.

I think this couldn't possible cause on the Philips TVs don't use a software to do this feature, but only WiFi enlaced with the HUE bridge and iOS App.

And it's only works in selecteds Philips Ambilight TV models. I have an Philips Ambilght 42 5000 series and works fine with HUE bridge from first and second generation, and would be very good working with my LG Oled 55B7P too.

But, how I told before, I believe it's not possible.

I hope my information can will be usefull.

This would be great!

I'd upgrade the bulbs I use with Alexa if it would do this.

I would love this as well for my LG smart TV !

Seconded! It will be really useful to have as a native app an ambilight and/or hue sync app on the WebOS app market, and it will increase the value of the WebOS devices in front of their competitors (you can play it on Android tvs).

Yes, please!!!

Just bought a C9, love the picture quality, however, WebOS is still limited
