Built myself an AmbiLight…
Here’s how it works:
Media is played by an iOS device which talks to the hue bridge in order to control the lights.
Thanks to AirPlay, video output can easily be redirected to an AppleTV while still leaving the actual processing to the iOS device, which I think makes this quite an elegant solution.
As you can see in the demo, it works quite well. Playback, processing and control of 3 living colours and one hue lamp was done on an iPad mini.
