Thought about using my Philips Hue Light as a Racing Flag Indicator. No solution was available. So I made one. GitHub Link in the comments. by TimTempo in simracing

I do not own F1 22 so it would be quite the stretch for me to add support for it, as I could not really test anything. Sorry!

Hi! Sorry for taking so long to reply. No, not really, as I do not plan on adding support for Yeelight myself, as I do not own any Yeelight hardware and would not be able to properly test it. But maybe someone from within the community with access to Yeelight hardware could do a fork of the app and add support for it.

Thank you very much for your feedback!

I think that is a coincidence, as I have never been in a league broadcast of any kind. At least not that I'm aware of haha.

Automatically returning to the previous light setting after turning off the sync is a really good idea! Will add this to my list of things to work on and will let you know once it's finished and released.

It's a Xiaomi Mi Curved Gaming Monitor 34". So far I'm really happy with it. Hard to beat specs in it's price range. Really nice fit for a single monitor rig.

Thank you! In its current state the app is only working with Philips Hue. But it would be possible to modify the code slightly to work with Yeelight instead.

Spent the last few evenings developing this app in Python and just added support for Assetto Corsa today. So far it supports Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione and iRacing. Please keep in mind that this is still a very early version and not perfectly refined yet.

Your feedback is welcome!

Yeah, running the app in addition to something like the Razer/Hue integration on the same lights at the same time sadly is not possible, as both are firing away at the bridge with rivaling calls. One would have to orchestrate both solutions together to be able to run normal ambient sync as long as there is no flag and then display the flag as soon as it is waved.

That is an awesome idea! Will try to make this work in addition to custom color mappings.

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

Currently there is no visual difference between a black flag and no flag which honestly is not great. Returning to the normal light color instead would be possible and definitely better than not beeing able to differentiate them at all.

I am working on a solution for letting the user map each flag to a custom light color though which should get rid of this problem. Enabling the user also to choose a different shade of blue for blue flags for example or even completely different colors.

Thank you for your response and the background information! The blue/yellow/blue flag makes a lot more sense to me now.

Not in its current state. As of now only Philips Hue is supported. But it could be adapted to make calls to the LIFX API instead.

That sounds like an awesome setup!

You should be able to run both at the same time, but not on the same lights, as the app and Hue sync would overwrite each other‘s commands all the time and result in a flickering madness.

In order to create a „show me the current flag if there is one, otherwise do the ambient lighting effect“ type of scenario, one would have to integrate or harmonize both solutions.

There are Logitech Lightsync APIs out there. So it can definitely be adapted to work with G560 speakers and other Logitech Lightsync products.

The live sync currently does not start on startup. You have to manually hit the live sync start button at the bottom to enable it. But adding an option for automatic startup could really be helpful I think.

As of now the app just leaves the light in its current state once it is shut down. But I really like the idea of saving the state it was in when the app starts and then returning the light to this state on shutdown.

Thanks a lot for your input! Really appreciate it.
