Cron Color: Philips Hue Lighting Sync

Free and open source app synchronizes computer screen colors with Philips Hue smart lights, creating an immersive lighting experience

What is Cron Color?

Cron Color is a free, open source application that matches the colors displayed on a computer screen to a Philips Hue smart lighting system in real time to create immersive lighting effects. It works by analyzing the colors shown on the screen and automatically adjusting the color and brightness of the connected Hue lights to match. This creates a visual synchronization between the lighting and what's happening on the screen.

Some key features of Cron Color include:

• Works with any content displayed on a screen including videos, games, applications, and more
• Completely automatic and responds in real time with no configuration needed
• Analyzes the entire screen or a specific region
• Ability to exclude certain applications from color analysis
• Controls Hue lights connected via the Hue Bridge
• Completely free with open source code

Cron Color creates an immersive entertainment experience by extending the colors shown on screen into the room lighting. For example, when watching a movie the lights will automatically change to match the colors in each scene as it plays. Gamers can also have lighting that reflects health, stats, and environments shown in the game. It works with any app or content shown on a Windows computer.
