@@EverythingSmartHome I will have a bathtub inside the bedroom, and in front of it will have a wall covered with a 2x1 tv wall , and around the bathtub we will have a rgbw strip that will glow with the image on the tv. So when the girl is taking a bath to the mood of waves or etc... I will have a more relaxed wife!
I have been trying to do this for almost a year now. I have it set up, but the problem is when I boot up the Rpi the led's don't light up. It worked for an hour or so then stopped after I set everything back up. I know this isn't all that hard but dang. It's been beating me
I built one of these a while back, but I didn't use a capture card. Since I watch everything through my android TV device I installed the Hyperion grabber to that. It sends the image to the Pi via WiFi. Works well and removes the need for the capture card.
Simon Eatough I have a strange quastion for you.. so I have a xiaomi mi-box android tv box. Will it be possible to transmit data signal to PI from mi-box, via wifi?
Thank you very much for this video. DIY Ambilight has come a LONG way since I started dabbling with it in ~2006. At that time I bought a custom pcb kit which captured via SCART. Good times :) Then I tried (and failed) with Rasberry Pi and settled on a (now discontinued) DreamScreen. It works like a charm but need a second Ambilight for my ManCave. This is exactly it! No need for a (imo overpriced) Hue Sync Box, though it has it's merits in many usecases.
This looks awesome, and the idea of doing this with Raspberry Pi and Home Assistant instead of buying into the Phillips Hue ecosystem (prison?) makes it even better. Can’t wait to see a detailed guide for folks like me that are just getting started tinkering with HA and Pi.
so I got a bit confused when you mentioned netflix, prime etc. because then u used chromecast to plug into the input of the card. does that mean that this build wont work with built in apps in the tv?
I'd love a full tutorial, this was the first video I've seen from you. Inspired me, I've purchased the hardware to do this myself. My setup is slightly different as I am using an android TV I am using the Hyperion Android Grabber for screen capture. I am hopeless on the electronics side however, I know it's only five wires but could you possibly post a digram or even a photo of the wiring?

How to fix LED strip flickering issue that I am getting? after white colour showed on screen then it flickers whole strip in random colours for half a second and it repeats in random time...
Had a raspberry pi 3 collecting dust and a thrift store near my work that has plenty of 5v 10a PSUs in stock so I'm gonna buy the LEDs and other accessories and get some use out of it.
Power supply calculations assume full-white at 100% brightness. With lower brightness and never displaying a full-white (or white borders) screen, you should be safe with less. You could also use a fuse to be safe.
I'm going to try running 2 windows monitors with the windows capture utility, each with their WLED controller, plus a capture card for a chromecast on the TV
Just bought everything and it will be delivered in 2 days, really curious how the setup wil be. It would be awesome if you would make a in depth video of this. Keep up your great work!!
Hi I've got the aurora ambilight led strip is there anyway I can get this to connect via my firestick as I can't get the ambilight app on my Samsung TV any help would be much appreciated thanks
WS281x devices must run under root. So to make this LED-strip work you need to run these 2 commands: sudo chmod +x /usr/share/hyperion/scripts/updateHyperionUser.sh and sudo updateHyperionUser -u root After that it will work. If it doesn't work check the log.
Wondering does the capture card support hdmi cec? due with my current setup, I take the hdmi output through a splitter that does not support cec, and when turning off my fire tv, i still get sound through my sound system...due it does not get the cec off signal, so im considering switching it with a capture card
muy buen video lo vi y me anime hacerlo tengo unos inconvenientes tengo raspberry pi 4 antes tenia separado las fuente con respecto a los led y titilaba, los puse junto los led con la rasberry y no me encendio mas los led, te ecribo mas que nada para saber si te paso desde gracias.
About the led placement on the back of the tv. The back of mine tv gets hot to the touch(aluminium). Can i place the led on the back of the tv with no worries?
When you conect the lEd to electricity +5 v mine is not turn on, did he need a suignal from the trigger to turn on i tested the LED strip i have my 5 volt everywhere on it
Hello. Is there a video capture capable of 4k HDR? Because if I use the device shown in the video, the apple tv switches back to SDR mode. Another question: If the image is dark gray (e.g. a menu), the LEDs will blink dimly. Can this be eliminated somehow? I guess some sort of sampling threshold or something. Thanks
Had none stop issues while trying to make one of these myself. Capture card broke, LEDs won’t even light up. Not sure what to do now. Documentation is less than useless as well
Yes exactly what I m looking for. Is that a Chromecast dongle there? how's it used? Let's get into it and see how it's done. Is there a wiring writeup yet? Thank you!
I don't know for some reason my LED colors seems washed out.. I checked on hyperion live video and capture card seems to be capturing washed out images. is there any specific settings so image capture color is more vibrant?
Great, but if I understand it correctly it only work from video sources which are connected to tv TV via HDMI right? It doesnt work with TV's integrated youtube/netflix/Plex?
great video, I've been keeping half an eye on 3rd party off the shelf options for a while. but like you not having hdr is not an option... this is a great little project 😃
@Everything smart home, I really enjoyed your your video, this is something I believe many many people like myself would be interested in getting a more indepth video on. With all other backlighting on the market your always missing onething so IMO it is what are you willing to do without, even with the HUE system you still don't get everything that your project has shown. But one question all my HDMI ports on my TV are 2.1 it's the LG OLED C1 55 inch, will running a HDMI 2.0 on your review into a 2.1 on my TV have me loosing picture quality ? I know with all the other systems out you do loose on something, I am not very tech savvy but if your able to put a more indepth video I may just be able to do this project myself, congratulations on the way you explained everything, a well presented educational video. 10/10 from me my friend
Not sure if this is a dumb question, but if the external device hooked to your ambilight system plays dolby atmos audio, will the capture card support it and just channel that audio signal to the TV?
I wanna try this.. I have all the components except the capture card. Having a hard time figuring out what card to buy tho. What do i need to look after to able HDR passthrough?
I cant seem to get the light to catch up to my video, it's seems to log behind by like 200ms when using Hyperion NG. WHen I had this setup with the OG hyperion using analog video capture light and video are spot on. Your lights seems to lad behing as well, there is a smoothing option to slow the light down in case it is going too fast, but there's non for making it go faster like the old hyperion
Hmm I don't have any noticeable lag in real life, it might be the video. Although 200ms is pretty acceptable IMO. Yes the smoothing option is there but from my experience using it, it does speed them up and make them more responsive but it's very jarring to use them like that, hence why the smoothing effect is there.
If the capture card doesn't need more than 720p to function, why did you need to get that fancy 4K one? Does the cheap one not allow high quality passthrough?
Thanks for this. So help me understand something you're using a capture card that has 4k HDR hdcp 2.2 IN but you're outputing 1080p to your TV from the card, how does that help you since you need 4k HDR from the capture card to the TV?
I think you perhaps misunderstood a little, the capture card takes in 4k60 signal and outputs the same 4k60 signal (called a loop out) - the bit that is 1080p is what goes down the USB to the Pi.
I'm curious if you can do this setup but instead of a capture card, use a camara staring at the tv, similar to how govee wifi tv led works. I'm specially looking for the ability to set the camara across the room (similar fashion as a projector facing the screen), also curious if there is going to be mayor delays introduced by using a camara
Quick question, do I have to use Chromecast to have ambilight? Lets say I want to use applications which are built in TV like Netflix, AmazonPrime, Disney etc. Will it work when I connect HDMI from TV to VideoCapture card (hdcp 2.2) and the VideoCapture card is connected to raspberry pi through USB, the rest is the same like in video. Thank you in advance
Hi guys. So I set this up last month and it's been running great, but I had to change my router and couldn't keep the same SSID. So I logged into the Pi through SSH beforehand and updated that WPA for with my WiFi details and saved. But now I'm sort of stuck in limbo it doesn't seem to be connecting to my new router but also I still can't see it on my old one. I'm trying to not have to take the SD card from the pi as I'd have to take the TV off the wall as I didn't think about accessing the pi afterwards lol
now that you ended up only capturing 720p could you have used a cheaper capture card meant for 720p? or would that mean that you would only be able to watch 720p and not 4k? (i know nothing about capture cards)
@@EverythingSmartHome how about if you split the hdmi (hdmi splitter) first. so chromecast to splitter. hdmi-clone1 to 4k-tv. hdmi-clone2 to 720p-capturecard. would that limit the resolution as well? im looking for a cheaper version of what you did 😅
Is there any way to make this work using the in-built video signal of the TV? Owning an already smart TV myself, I find it very frustrating not being able to enjoy this simply for not using an HDMI input
We're just about to move to a new house and I will definitely be utilizing this idea. I currently have three raspberry pis that I want to use for a few projects and this will definitely be one of them. However, I am definitely interested in the raspberry pi zero version of this I definitely be down for an in-depth tutorial
Alas, the Zasluke isn't available anymore and it seems "look-alike" capture cards have HDR support (e.g. comment on Sanyipace capture card). Any idea how to find out which card supports HDR10? I don't even see it in the Zasluke description, so perhaps its defined in a different way?
Your using the Power Supply to power the PI as well, and it's already underpowered for the LEDs. Arent you losing about 3amps for the PI making the 8 amps down to 5, when you needed closer to 12, yet it still works. Fair play
3 amps would probably be a bit ambitious for the Pi but say 2 to be safe. The LED calculation of 0.06a per LED is pretty conservative since that assumes max brightness at "white" colour, in practice it doesn't use as much as that. Hope that helps!
@@EverythingSmartHome I am curious about the wiring setup. I see that the LEDs supplied cable that you only used for the data cable to the PI right? Could you not have used the same wires as the data wire, cut and connected to the barrell jack connector, or is that wire not good enough to handle the voltage?

Good video. Just a small tip. A cheap HDMI splitter will remove hdcp data and you should be fine for protected contents.

Tip: if you get a capture card that has issues with HDCP, you can use an HDMI splitter (in then out) to bypass, as they do not see or transmit HDCP

You could also just obs stream to the pi and bypass the need for a splitter.
Your using the Power Supply to power the PI as well, and it's already underpowered for the LEDs. Arent you losing about 3amps for the PI making the 8 amps down to 5, when you needed closer to 12, yet it still works. Fair play
3 amps would probably be a bit ambitious for the Pi but say 2 to be safe. The LED calculation of 0.06a per LED is pretty conservative since that assumes max brightness at "white" colour, in practice it doesn't use as much as that. Hope that helps!
@@EverythingSmartHome I am curious about the wiring setup. I see that the LEDs supplied cable that you only used for the data cable to the PI right? Could you not have used the same wires as the data wire, cut and connected to the barrell jack connector, or is that wire not good enough to handle the voltage?
