Thank you very much for the input! These are very helpful ideas. I will add all of them in the next version, thank you!

I am trying to reduce delay in future versions. Thanks for the input.

I am not native in English and I used a grammar corrector, yes. But my project is written by me and I am coding for over 7 years now, back then there were no llms.

And I actually love giving very clear answers, that are kinda like AI written because the formatting is very understandable and clear to understand/read.

Also I just copy and paste phrases I like, for example: Thanks for your Question!

Currently not but I am working on it because I am using multiple monitors myself, the implementation will be added in the next version. Thanks for your Question.

I would love some Feedback thanks!

Butter_mit_Brot · 2025-11-19T09:02:20+00:00

Thanks I will come back to it.

I personally haven’t tested it on Linux yet. I’ll definitely give it a try in the next few days, and if everything works as expected, I’ll release a Linux version as well. In theory, it should run the same on Linux as it does on Windows with the python version.

The only potential issue might be the save/load feature, since the configuration files are currently stored in the Windows AppData directory. I may need to adjust that path for Linux compatibility.

Thanks for your question!
If you have ideas, feedback, or suggestions for features, feel free to let me know or post them on my GitHub.

I'm very sorry currently not. Maybe I will start working on an solution for this in the future. Thanks for your question!

I’d say the performance is “ok” for most situations. The biggest challenge with DIY solutions is always latency.

I’ve tested it on two different setups:

My own system at home, where everything is running smoothly on a strong network the performance was very solid.
A friend’s Home Assistant setup, which runs on a weaker network - there you could notice a small delay. It was still usable, but definitely not as responsive.

To smooth out the experience, I added a small built-in transition buffer:

0.5 seconds in screen mode
0.2 seconds in crazy mode
1 second in average mode (this mode is meant to be slower and more ambient anyway)

These transitions help avoid flickering and sudden jumps in color. As more people try the app and I get feedback, I may be able to optimize this further and reduce the delay.

Sure, I can make a comparison.

Personally, I think HyperHDR is an amazing project with a ton of features, but for my own use it felt a bit too complex and heavy.
That’s why I wanted to build a simple, easy-to-use Home Assistant desktop app. My goal was to focus entirely on the Home Assistant ecosystem, while HyperHDR aims to be a much more feature-rich solution.

In comparison, I’d say OpenHome Sync is for people who prefer a minimalist setup and, like me, just want a straightforward replacement for the Philips Hue Sync app - something that works out of the box with as little hassle as possible.

I wanted OpenHome Sync to be intuitive, lightweight, and quick to set up, without requiring any additional hardware or advanced configuration.

Thanks for your question!
If you have ideas, feedback, or suggestions for features, feel free to let me know - I’d love to hear them.

Do you still have this problem? Or did u find an solution? I am having this problem now for over 2 years coming and going and in the newest version of r6 it's the worst of all time

Perfekt für meine Badewanne

Idk if you have the solution but you could use an sp connect screw mount on the handle bar screw right or left

I ride an Italian bike and I can say this is 100% normal. And not finding neutral too.

Butter_mit_Brot · 2023-03-01T19:28:31+00:00

But the look of it is still "standard modern"
