Sounds awesome. I will take a look. I promised to do a configuration ui first. But I didn‘t had enough energy to do so.

Do you know any devices which are using the api? Or is it the hue sync box only? I didn‘t really dig into this topic yet.

Basically all Philips Ambilight TVs have this option ...

But honestly I'm not that sure anymore.

In fact there is an implementation of it in the python based diyhue project. Whenlookig at it I see it the following after some hours thinking:

There is no DTLS server implementation for nodejs right now ... so hard to have the server. The diyhue project uses a extra binary to offer the server and the do socket based communication with that ...maybe an idea to adopt ... if license allows it
In the genuine hue bridge this goes directly from network to the zigbee level as it seems, so they can have high throughput. No idea how many frames/s the TV is sending on data :-) The DIYHue project is limiting it to kind of 1/s by kiling 80% of the data (assumed that there should come in 5 color infos/s ... No idea if this is practicable then at all performancewise because after receivng you would need to write states and other adapter needs to react and send it to the device ...
