AppDaemon App that synchronizes the color of RGB lights with the thumbnail of a media player in Home Assistant.
Use HACS or download the media_lights_sync
directory from inside the apps
directory here to your local apps
directory, then add the configuration to enable the media_lights_sync
module.
In order for this app to work, you need to add py3-pillow
and Pillow
to the config of your AppDaemon 4 Supervisor add-on:
system_packages:
- py3-pillow
python_packages:
- Pillow
init_commands: []
log_level: info
Using the files from ./docker in your CONF path, the Docker script will recursively search the CONF directory and install the system_packages.txt
and requirements.txt
files.

key | optional | type | default | description |
---|---|---|---|---|
module |
False | string | media_lights_sync |
The module name of the app. |
class |
False | string | MediaLightsSync |
The name of the Class. |
media_player |
False | string or list | The entity_id(s) of the media player(s) to sync from1. | |
lights |

ha_url |
True | string | null |
The URL to your Home Assistant. Examples: https://my-ha.duckdns.org , http://192.168.1.123:8123 . |
verify_cert |
True | bool | true |
Set to false if you are using https on your ha-url but are unable to trust the certificate. Bypasses cert validation. |
reset_lights_after |
True | bool | false |
Reset lights to their initial state after turning off a medial_player . Will not reset lights if false . |
quantization_method |
True | string | MedianCut |
Supports MedianCut , FastOctree , MaxCoverage and libimagequant . More info below. |
use_saturated_colors |
True | bool | false |
Increase the saturation and brightness of the colors. |
use_current_brightness |
True | bool | false |
Do not change lights brightness. If false , it will always sets all lights to maximum brightness. |
transition |
True | number | null |
Number that represents the time (in seconds) the light should take to transition to new states. |
condition |
True | object | Sync lights only if the state of the condition entity is True. | |
condition.entity |
False | string | The entity_id of the condition. | |
condition.state |
False | string | The state to match in order for the lights to sync. |
1: See /developer-tools/state
in your Home Assistant instance. This app will listen to changes on entity_picture_local
and/or entity_picture
attributes of your media_player
entities.
condition
You can use a template condition to match more complex states:
condition:
value_template: "{{ state_attr('media_player.tv', 'media_content_type') == 'movie' and is_state('sun.sun', 'below_horizon') }}"
The app will run if the condition returns True
.
quantization_method
There is four quantization method available, which change the way the colors palette is extracted:
MedianCut
: Default method. Mix colors in the image using their median value.FastOctree
: Extract dominant colors. Use this option if you want more accurate colors.MaxCoverage
: Mix colors based on their maximum coverage.libimagequant
: High-quality conversion of RGBA images to 8-bit indexed-color (palette) images.Alternatively, you can also combine this option with use_saturated_colors
to get more vibrant colors.
This app should work with any media_player
and RGB light integrations available in Home Assitant.
That said, it has been tested and is working with the following devices:
If you've found that this app is working with another device, just let me know so I can update this list.
