Easiest configuration

For the best experience setting up this plugin, please use homebridge-config-ui-x or HOOBS. Both have a UI that will walk you through adding required fields.

Basic configuration

{
    "platforms": [
        {
            "platform": "HomeBridge - Ambient Lights Aurora",
            "auroras": [
                {
                    "ipAddress": "192.168.1.190",
                    "piName": "Aurora Pi",
                    "extension": "Aurora_Ambient_AutoCrop"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Switching Extensions

Aurora Extensions There are currently 5 active extensions made by Andrew. Since this plugin uses a Lightbulb service the Brightness switches between Extension modes.

(I don't think this is totally logical, but I figure Audio is minimal brightness then worked by way up to the best modes)

• 100-80 - Autocrop
• 79-60 - No crop
• 59-40 - Rainbow
• 39-20 - Meteor
• 19-0 - Audio Spectogram

Issues

Currently there is no easy way to grab the current status of the Aurora system so when the plugin initially runs it assumes Aurora is:

• Off
• Autocrop is the current Extension Loaded
