Philips Wiz Screen Sync

This project allows your program to search your network for Philips Wiz lights and sync them with your screen.

The program is structured as a simple GUI that allows you to choose which parts of your screen to sync with which lights. A few key features are highlighted below:

• Test Button - This button will cause the lights to flicker. This is useful for identifying which light corresponds to which IP address when you're setting things up.

• Red square Radio Buttons - allows you to choose which part of the screen each light should sync with. You can choose from the following options: "Full", "Left Half", "Right Half", "Top Half", "Bottom Half".

• Run - run button starts the screen color sync.

• Update Frequency - time to wait between each sync. Better performance when it set to 0, but it increases CPU/Network usage

• Color Processing Algorithm - Choice of algorithm to use to process colors.

  • Median - middle color sort by RGB intensity
  • LeVibrant - chooses more vibrabt colors. Example, light saber swords in a fight scene. Significantly Better in my opinion

Installation

If you're a first time user and you don't want to compile the code from source, you can simply download the ready-to-use executable file. Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the releases section on the right-hand side of the GitHub page.
2. Find the latest release and download the .exe file attached to it.
3. Run the downloaded file to start using the Philips Wiz Screen Sync application.

**Note: be sure that you are connected to the same router as the lights are.

** Yet another Note: This is my first release and I will maintain this more, add compatibilities if I get support.

If you're interested in developing this project further, you can clone the repository by running:

git clone https://github.com/enochlev/PhilipsWizScreenSync.git

Compilation

For developers who want to compile the application from the source code, you need to have Python installed in your system. Here are the steps to compile it:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/enochlev/PhilipsWizScreenSync.git

2. Navigate to the cloned directory:

   cd PhilipsWizScreenSync

3. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the PyInstaller to compile the script into an executable file:

   pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole -n "Screen Sync" -i icon.ico --add-data "icon.ico;." --add-data "icon.gif;." pythonLights.py
   

5. You'll find the compiled executable in the dist directory.

Enjoy your new immersive lighting experience with Philips Wiz Screen Sync!
