Implement Hue Entertainment protocol #100

Open probonopd opened 6 years ago

probonopd commented 6 years ago

Apparently the Hue Entertainment protocol is an entirely new protocol.

https://developers.meethue.com/entertainment-blog

The need for a time synchronization-driven interface led us towards a new bridge-streaming API for Hue Entertainment. This bridge API is based on UDP and DTLS rather than HTTP, allowing us to drop frames to maintain synchronization as necessary.

Unfortunately I don't have the time to work on this but if anyone does, please let us know.

Do you know if the Razer Synapse 3 application using this new protocol ? Or is this new protocol gonna be used for everything in the future ?

I know something new from Razer is using this protocol, developed by Philips specially for games and movies. It will not replace the current http based protocol. The main advantages is that support higher rates of commands per second and every light coordinates is specified in order to calculate the effect.

this would be perfect for having an adressable RGB lightstrip in my ceiling and divide it into 3 or more "virtual" bulbs. so I can have several zones with one strip.

the existing philips strips are all one color the whole way :(
