DrZzs Home Automation Reality TV Pilot Episode (and Hyperion installation)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 сер 2020
- I've thought it would be fun to drive around the county with a van full of tech and go to different people's houses and install crazy cool stuff. I might be the only person who thinks that would be fun. Until that dream comes true I will have to be content to just go help a friend or two with their projects. This time I brought a camera man along to help my buddy Matt install Hyperion Bias Lighting. Hope it's useful and maybe a little funny.

"Reality Show" Love it! I liked this format. It was interesting having someone there to ask you immediate questions.
Thank you so much. Following your video, I got my Hyperion to work :-)
Awesome, very clean installation. 👍👏
Thanks! 👍
This looks amazing!
Hey doc, on the corner connectors there are little plastic guide pieces on the side to make sure it sits under the tabs. If you concentrate on getting it under those guides everything just kinda slides into place.
This goes right with the video you put out today!
Thanks for following up on your last video with this real-world installation. Very simple.
You are the best ! Good Job !
Very useful video. Thank you. may be on the L connector get the connector side hooked up when connector is not with the strip. gives you more wiggle room to fit the connecor plastic in the L shape lines
Thank you sir.
Cudos to your camera operator! Great work👍
Thanks 👍 He's been doing a lot for me lately. It's my boy Zach.
Wow! Not knowing about the little cable bundled with Firesticks just for these cases ?! Your street cred has just taken a plunge hairless Doc!
Fun video. Yes you can connect gnds of DC supplies together.👍
you can, but not the best idea.
Yes there is no issue connecting the ground of DC PSU. In lab situations when you have many power supplies that is exactly what you do.
@@DrZzs without a common ground, the 3V3 volt signal from the pi could be floating above the 5V of the led strip and cause reliability issues or damage to the LEDs. If it works it works, but it's not ideal. Same goes if you use the level shifter, gnds should still be connected.
My Hyperion stuff is coming today! Except for the leds... THE ONE THING I ACTUALLY NEED
Very very nice...gonna build one next week. Looks simple.. can improvements could be done on this project??
Great video. What if you have multiple input sources, Firestick, BluRay player. Cable box
Darn! I was hoping a network picked up a real reality series with you and your family doing home automation stuff... This is still a great idea!
I'm only kinda kidding about the Reality TV thing. I'll do more videos like this. It was fun and has been pretty popular.
I'd go with you! I do this for a lot of people now and work.
ey Dr. Great video and you've convinced me that this is something I can get done myself rather the the Philips HUE route. Question about your parts list - What is the RpiZeroW on the list for? Is this an alternate to the Rpi3? Or are both needed? Also you have mentioned that the a WLED controller could be used to move the Rpi3 further from the TV and use wifi to send the control signals to the WLED on a TV? Is that correct? That would result in less crap behind the TV is it is? Thanks in advance. Looking forward to ordering the parts.
Hey thanks for the video, iv'e been watching a few of them and ordered a DigiUno recently as well to play with, I'm down in OZ and been enjoying these while in lock down. Does that setup play Netflix and Prime OK with DRM protected ?
Hi Dr, Thanks for your very clear video.
Only one thing is not clear to me. What do you connect to the input of the capture card and more inportant Why??
I would say that you just plugin a HDMI cable from your Mediabox or Apple TV to the capture card directly.
Thanks again
Good health, good video.
I am using the led which is apa102. I wondered if the ws2812 b model led you use is delaying?
Hey @Drzzs could you do a video on settings/configurations? Trying to get the LEDs timed with the image is proving difficult and the forum isn't much help.
Hi, very nice project! I am wondering how to use led on live TV show (input direct from antenna). Thanks!
Do not pry up the metal tabs in those corner connectors too much... I did and it only took a little bit of spacing that caused the connector to be a less reliably to keep contact.
It helps alot to have both of the connector's tabs open so the metal contacts are a little lose to get the strips underneath.
Ha ha. I like the way you appear just only you head at the end of video. That's funny.
Ever come to Long Island 😂 I love your Xmas lights install I want to do that to my house
Great video. You've got me inspired to do this at home. DrZzs or anyone here, would there be an advantage using SK6812 LEDs to get a dedicated white channel (they come in 3 styles cool, warm or neutral - I'd probably go neutral with a TV)? And is there an advantage to getting higher pixel density ie 30 vs 60 pixels/m? Thanks
Where in this set-up does the Dig-Uno go. I’m doing this project around my theater screen! 120” can’t wait!
Have you tried one of those 1080p Video Capture with loop cards with a raspberry pi zero w? I've just put a setup together but the capture rate is about 1 frame a second and the pi zero is running at 90% cpu. Going to try throwing a 3A+ at it but wondered if you have had it working?
Hey Doc, thanks for this tutorial, i managed to get this working on my tv however I have an issue, under components control you activated USB capture, ones you turn off the pi this setting is lost, how did you solved this issue? Don't want my leds working 24h a day
Those capture cards get so hot. I installed aluminium cooler and it runs way cooler
Hello. You show in the video programming the lights on a laptop but you didn’t say if you connected somehow with a cable to program it or was it wireless I’m confused? Can you help. Also the Amazon list you ha e shows 2 different boards which one is the better one and do I need the 4K box or no?
I'm using prismatik on mine. Wonder if hyperion uses zones, cause mine can adjust each led on a per pixle basis. Also, shouldn't a resistor be placed in between power and pin 18? I also have a capacitor on mine.
I like that, I'll try in my tv, thanks for sharing the project.
I know that nanoleaf lightstripes aren’t addressable but can they work with Hyperion to give a general color behind the tv?
Does that capture card/pass through handle hdcp2.2?
How to awesomify your TV, featuring Captain America 😂
Was that a 30 led/m strip? I'm trying to decide between 30 and 60.
Those corner adapters seem pretty handy!
which LEDs should prefer for TV ambient light 60/144 LEDs/meter??
How many LED's do you need top and side for a 65" LG TV?
I wonder can you take the camera out of the Govee version and use a capture card?
DrZzs, any video directions of using esp8266 Wled and hyperion ng as hypernion ng now supports wled. I found that Wled and Prismatik works ok but rather use Hyperion NG
Hello, is it possible to use the APA 102 instead of the ws281x? Nice greetings from Berlin
This looks hard to install and hard to use. So once i get everything working. Will i ever have to mess with it again? I just want it to do back round matching color like the thor movie. Also will it work on regular television?
Can you maybe make a video on how to with the Hyperion Android Grabber app?
Sweet
Is there a way to connect a wifi sync to it? Would be cool to have my laps with rgb to sync with it.
Hello Doc! I did the USB wire cut for powering my PI 3B+ but it wont turn on and its power led blinks on and off. What am I doing wrong? Btw, if you wanna come over... Its close... Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 😉
can this be done with a pi zero w to save some space?
Uhh, the capture card link just redirects me to the Amazon search with the search query "Y" lol
Awesome! Do you happen to have a list of all parts used?
Check out the video uploaded a few weeks ago, must be like 2 or three videos ago.
It's a better video in explaining it all.
This is more of a "show video"
Awsome ! You can come to my country and hook up same LEDs ( Czech rep. not so far if you have Jet fighter) :)
Deal! I'm on my way!
Hello Drzz! Does the video to the tv get degraded at all by that capture card? We have a 4K tv and would prefer to not have to watch in 1080P. Thanks for all of the content!
i use this one for split 4k HDR DV and Atmos to the the 4K TV and 1080p to the Pi EZ-SP12H2 ezcoo HDMI Splitter www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B083JVPXDY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
How you sync turn off leds when turn off tv? and the same for the turn on
whats your opinion on pi zero w has it really got enough power / processor grunt to run hyperion ? have u had any issues with the pi zero w ?
What do you think is better LED wise 30/m or 60/m ?
Will this also work for Netflix on a Nvidia shield and 4k?
Hey guys have a LIFX LED strip already behind my TV is there any way can integrate them into Hyperion?
How do you do this if its a smart TV so you have no inputs going into the tv?
Is there anyway for hyperion to read the screen from a native smart TV app? I really like the build in software in my samsung tv and I don't really use anything HDMI input source.
Are there any HDMI splitters that can handle 120Hz so I can use it with a PS5?
wanted to know how to install Hyperion os for the Raspberry pi 4< also do i Guiformat my 128gb samsung Micro SD Card in order to clear my Micro SD was using Kodi os its keeps booting up.
Did you lose the HDMI-CEC function if you connect the hdmi capture?? In my case I bought an hdmi capture on Aliexpress and now I lose the HDMI-CEC function and the TV doesn't turn ON automatically when I turn on my Apple TV....
How can this be done with out all the soldering and stuff.
Good idea! You probably could also just consult for super rich people that want custom setups. Ive been thinking about that lately...
I'm calling the Discovery Channel. I want my own show!
@@DrZzs I'm sure someone's already made the joke but you could call it "pimp my home"
"Better call Zzs!"
Whenever you come for a testdrive with the electric bug to Europe, you're more than welcome in Amsterdam.
Hey dr zzz; I see some videos saying I should do a Hyperion with raspberry pi AND arduino. What gives? Which way should I go- as I have that hardware, too???! Can u help- I wanna install this weekend.
What do you do when you have multiple inputs. Fire stick, Playstation, and cable. With only one input on the hdmi capture card?
I'm using a Yamaha AV which let's me have 4 inputs and better sound. If you don't already have one and don't need a speaker setup you can also go with a HDMI switch
That looks so much better than the hue sync
I haven't used hue sync, but i'd expect Hyperion is hard to beat :)
@@DrZzs niether have I, just basing that opinion on UA-cam videos I've seen for both. The individually addressable LEDs sure look nice
This is so awesome! Obviously the best effect will be on a white wall, mine is some kind of pastel green, would it work on that you think?
give it a try!
then if it looks bad, paint the wall. :)
@@DrZzs Can you tell my wife? xD I will give it a go! I think it will still look good!
It is practical to have Kodi and Hyperion on the same pi , or Home assistant and hyperion. The installation instructions will have to be changed,
So Doc, I’ve got a leftover RPI B+ from “ye’ olde times” and was wondering if I could use this one. I am using another one as my Volumio Pi, so maybe this would work too?
It will, just need the right hyperion version
@DrZzs Put me on the list for a visit. I have been stabbing at this on & off, with large gaps in between, for a year and still don't even have HA working with a pi to control a switch toggle even. It could be the ultimate basic "help-a-noob" video for how to set up HA from the ground. I promise to ask all the most stupid questions and then some.
Surely the series should be titled “the docs house calls”???
Yes please!!
Excellent suggestion! I'll correct it for Episode 2 :)
Or how about House CallZzs
@@YKSGuy I really like that title too, not sure which one I prefer now haha
Combine them ;) The Doczzzz House Callzzzzzz
If you can make a brief video how to use a usb webcam as a video input i would be thankful
This is important for smart tvs as we use them a lot for Netflix, YouTub, applications, etc.
how would one set up multiple inputs into the device? Is it possible to have both a gaming system AND a firestick through the same Pi, and be able to switch back and forth like the "source" button on the TV? Or would I have to unplug the fire stick and plug in the game system into the Pi, and vise versa each time?
I too have the same question
Hey doc, all the videos and text guides suggest that a microprocessor (like Arduino Uno / Nano) is required. But you have demonstrated it is not. Could you share the possible reasoning why/how?
this works with raspberry pi 2 model b?
Does this setup still allow 4k?
@10:20: Doc's learning curve ;-) nothing, nothing, still nothing.. then BUM! "now I know kung fu" ;-)
Is it possible to make hyperion work on RPI A+? This one doesn't have wifi. IMO we can connect a USB ethernet dongle fort the initial setup! Does it require to connect to internet all the time?
I have one board lying around! Hoping to use it for this project. Pls let me know i can make some use of it :)
Honestly I just bent my LEDs at the corners because I found some corner connectors are unreliable as hell. 🙂
I’m having a issue when I plug everything into one psu leds and pi only like 20 leds work and it works with software but she. I separate the pie with a brick psu and leds on my other psu all leds turn on but doesn’t work with the program been dealing with this for a week how can I fix this! Plz some 1 help me
Hey doc, do you know of a 4k capture option for those running 4k hdr?
Light berry sell 4k thats where i got mine years ago
@@JAYKORIE there is no 4k kit in their Shop
Nice video, congrats, and beautiful bald ahaha
Does this work with HDCP protected content? Will I be able to install this between my AVR and TV and be able to watch Netflix from my nVidia shield (via AVR) without any issues? What about HDMI-CEC, will the Shield still be able to wake/sleep the TV?
No it doesnt
when are you coming help me out in my house!!! great videos
Great video. This shall be my first Dr Zzs project me thinks. Shame the LED cable starts in the top corner of the TV. Would be easier to hide (for me anyway) if it started at the bottom corner.
Now where did I put that old Pi ?... .
You can start in any corner and set the start point in the Hyperion GUI...
In fact you can start at any point in the border...
Phil is correct. Since filming this I have learned how to change the origin and direction of the LEDs in the Hyperion settings.
@@DrZzs Excellent, just waiting for my dig-uno to arrive now. This will be fun to build.
He doesn't let lack of knowledge stop him from making tutorial videos 😆 love his style
What those LED strip jointing pieces really need is the ability to inject power into them ...
Can't you just solder a wire on to them?
I have never used one of those but it seems there is room for it
Emmanuel Goldstein - no but those joiners are useful for more than just the back of a TV ... 😜
Does your hdmi pass through reduce your quality? Wonder if it's rated for 4k and anything over 60fps
Would like to know this also. Especially with the ps5 running on 4k 120 hertz!
Hi @DrZzs, can you help me, I have rpi 3, led strips WS2812b, thru GPIO18 and I have still problem with randomly blinking led strips after start hyperion and I cant figure out where is my problem, same source 5V/14A to LED and RPi3.
so i answer myself, I compiled hyperion on the raspbian, it didnt work, so I tried hyperbian and works fine, there was some problem.
Good luck if it is China sticky double-sided I have never found it last very long it just dries out and falls off
ya, same here. there is quite a variety in stickiness for sure.
Hi, I actually have the same setup as you in the video. However, my problem is with powering the capture card. I plugged it into the Raspberry Pie but it wont work. However providing it with a separate power supply it works. Any idea ?
Forgot to mention that I did added a line in the boot config.txt and added max_usb_current=1
Hi everyone. I actually fid exactly like this, and it worked from the first try. The only thing that is bothering me is that wenn my capture card doesn't detect any signal (Google TV Stick) then the LEDs should go out, but they aren't. They are constantly on and Displaying full white colour.
Does anyone know what could be the Problem?
I would appreciate your help
Thanks in advance 🙏
Don't need to do all that plug the firestick in to a different hdmi without the splitter and use hyperion grabber apk on the firestick and in the app use the ip address on the pi! Done and use the hdmi with the splitter for xbox or ps4!
Can you explain this better?
How could you capture the signal if everything was played from the smart tv? Netflix, Plex, Amazon etc... Is loaded through apps on the smart tv and not an external device.
This setup needs an external source like Firestick or even better a Nvidia Shield TV
i wonder if putting the LEDS at a 45 degree angle would improve the effect by letting more light out the back of the TV.
Or flip them 90 degrees, 3d print some quick brackets, and you wouldnt have to cut/splice them back together and get some extra light.
maybe. I've notices the effect isn't as good if the TV is far from the wall.
@@DrZzs I think I might have to do something as i have a bracket that pulls out from the wall so doesn't sit too flush.
do i just let the pi run at all times?
Why not us the TV USB port for this?
I have a question and possible solution to the 4K dilemma most people have with this setup, could you use an HDMI splitter with one input and two outputs that output the same video at the same time and have one go into your tv and one going into the capture card? That way the capture card is still receiving the video data and the tv would still get full quality, there would just be no output cable from the capture card to the tv, it would go from the splitter to the tv, would this work?
I'm currently making a DIY Plex voice integrated "smart screen" Aperture Radio alarm clock. I'm using this exact method to output 1080p, but the idea should work just as well with 4k. It's pretty hard finding a 4k splitter to fit into the form factor, but doable. If anyone would be interested in a tutorial, let me know and I'll speed up production.
I actually came across this splitter that outputs 4K 60hz hdr also can do individual downscaling and is about the size of a zippo
www.amazon.ca/HDMI-Splitter-1x2-4K-60Hz/dp/B07TVSBL7H
I don't understand why you start at the left upper corner?? you can start any place you like, mostly down in the middle near the RPi is the best place... Furthermore it's a pity that the hyperion effect is not working on the tv-app's or you have to use a chromecast (with hdmi splitter).
