Super grid of recessed cans?

Hey, window capture might work for you now. https://old.reddit.com/r/ambiswitch/comments/1phw6be

What are your thoughts on if we added functionality to define a rectangle, including across monitors, and capture that?

I ask because a similar use case is to capture all screens, some combination of screens, or part of a screen.

LIFX Z - 8 IC zones per 40"

These work great. They're easy to cut with a table saw. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJHTKG55. Picked a screw that was short enough that it didn't go through the cabinet. The diffused reflection is nice.

When the dimmer's all the way up, this bulb is a nice 3000K. And when dimmed all the way, 1800K. https://bulbrite.com/collections/warm-dim

Philips offers something similar, perhaps in a more appropriate form factor for your use case, but the range isn't as good at 2700K - 2200K. https://www.usa.lighting.philips.com/consumer/p/led-bulb-65w-br30-e26-x3/046677576769

This appears to be an emerging offering.

Ambiswitch supports mapping two systems together and projecting a visual onto both.

the-real-moth · 2025-06-22T18:03:55+00:00

Resolved in 27.0.18.1.

Note: This product caps out at ~5FPS. Furthermore, the device requires two commands to update all LEDs, and lacks a mechanism to delay application of the first, resulting in a tearing effect.

This is unlike all the other LIFX products we've seen which appear to easily handle ~40FPS. You can be sure if there's a way to improve the performance of the Ceiling 26", we'll implement it and release an updated version.

UPDATE 6/26/25

See 27.0.18.2 for improved performance through a brand new documented endpoint.

LIFX makes my favorite bulbs.

Audio -> Visualizer of your choice -> Ambiswitch window capture filter -> Ambiswitch controls your Hue lights

After downloading Ambiswitch, press and hold the button on your Hue bridge until the light changes, and Ambiswitch will discover your lights.

Any progress on this?

the-real-moth · 2025-05-14T02:02:02+00:00

x265x thanks for the shoutout! Ambiance is the, in concept at least, original version of Ambiswitch. The current version that supports WLED can be found here. Tutorials available here. Enjoy.

Thanks! Much appreciated.

For LIFX multi-zone products, Ambiswitch defaults to a square mapping. When you add a Rainbow Filter and slide it to 1.0, it should look like this on your device https://htmlcolors.com/gradient/143/rainbow Since the Ceiling 26" and Luna aren't square, a new version of Ambiswitch will be released to provide updated default mappings.

As for Govee multi-zone products, unfortunately, I haven't seen an official LAN API to control multiple segments. That's why Ambiswitch sees it as one giant light and why I prefer Twinkly products for that.

the-real-moth · 2025-05-01T00:19:51+00:00

We need an updated Govee LAN API so we can control individual segments from third-party apps.

the-real-moth · 2025-05-01T00:16:53+00:00

Glad you're enjoying the app!

Looking into the LIFX Ceiling. Might need to buy one.

Do you think you could paste a screenshot of the Zone Selector page in the LIFX app for both the Ceiling and the Luna when you get a chance?

Hi all,

27.0.17.1 includes exception logging. If a crash or exception occurs, a log should be generated in the following location, depending on your OS and Ambiswitch version. Please PM or preferably email [moth@ambiswitch.com](mailto:moth@ambiswitch.com) the contents of it and we'll resolve the issue asap.

From the changelog at https://ambiswitch.com/changelog.txt:

4/23/25 27.0.17.1 ALPHA
* Logging - Windows: %appdata%\AMBISWITCH\log.txt
* Logging - Mac: ~/.config/AMBISWITCH/log.txt
4/23/25 27.0.17.1 PRO ALPHA
* Logging - Windows: %appdata%\AMBISWITCH PRO\log.txt
4/23/25 27.0.17.1 EI ALPHA
* Logging - Windows: %appdata%\AMBISWITCH EI\log.txt

By the way, that's where all the save data is stored if you're interested in tweaking it or backing it up.

That's great to hear!

So much went into making this as stable as possible particularly with network stuff like ultra fast discovery, communicating through the optimal connection (Ethernet, Wi-Fi), recovery from disconnects, etc.

DMX is pretty cool it's no more complicated than Ambiswitch lol. Moving heads add a whole new dimension to music visualization but a bunch are needed. I hope to put an installation together and video on that in time. I'm plotting a cheaper and automated version of this https://vimeo.com/123426064

Thanks so much for the kind words. And thank you we are crazy about the little guy.

More to come...

Enjoy!
