[FEAT] Controll actual RGB color

[Erehr]

I don't really know what I'm doing but I managed to make simple commands like ambilight_on and _off work but have problem with ambilight_color. By reading readme and how some other --body arguments look like I can't get this command to work. python pylips.py --command ambilight_color --body '{"hue": 360, "saturation": 100, "brightness": 255}' getting error: unrecognized arguments: 360, saturation: 100, brightness: 255}'

Anyway the feature I think is missing as I don't think it is in this one above is to set manually RGB color and I mean all 3 channels (R,G,B) separately. In my model (50PUS7303) this can be done by selecting 'Warm White' profile which had small unlocked padlock and 'ISF' icon before it's name. Then in ambilight advanced settings there's ISF tuning with 3 separate color channel sliders.

Hi @Erehr,

I've copied & pasted the command you provided and it works well for me. The error you are getting shows that you are missing quotes around your arguments, so probably you copied it wrong.

It also allows to set an individual color, but it uses HSB instead of RGB. You can convert RGB to HSB here and then plug in the values to hue/saturation/brightness arguments in the command above.

So this will set Ambilight to green: python pylips.py --command ambilight_color --body '{"hue": 120, "saturation": 100, "brightness": 255}'

And this will set it to red: python pylips.py --command ambilight_color --body '{"hue": 0, "saturation": 100, "brightness": 255}'

Still the same, even with fresh download and pasting your own command directly. Other simple commands works but none using --body.

Since you are using Windows you need to escape the quotes in your command. Here is an example from Readme for a different command, notice the '^' symbols:

python3 pylips.py --host %TV's_ip_address% --user %username% --pass %password% --command post --path menuitems/settings/current --body ^"{^"^"nodes^"^":[{^"^"nodeid^"^":2131230774}]}^"
