HyperHDR is an open-source ambient lighting application that analyzes screen content and audio in real time to drive addressable LED strips behind TVs and music setups. It features a floating-point 'Infinite Color Engine' with HDR support, temporal dithering, and advanced smoothing for high-fidelity, banding-free LED output.
Use cases
- build an ambilight-style bias lighting system behind my TV
- sync LED strips to HDR video content without banding
- make a music visualizer with reactive LED strips
- control WLED or Adalight LEDs from screen capture
- run ambient lighting on a Raspberry Pi
- integrate ambient lighting with Home Assistant
- capture screen with USB grabber and map colors to LEDs
When to choose
- you need HDR/SDR-aware, high-precision color pipeline beyond 24-bit RGB
- you want cross-platform support including Raspberry Pi ARM
- you need sound-reactive lighting and multiple LED controller integrations (WLED, Hue, LIFX, Adalight)
- you want an actively maintained Hyperion alternative
When to avoid
- you only need simple static LED strip control without screen capture
- you need a commercial plug-and-play ambilight product rather than DIY hardware setup
- your platform or LED hardware is unsupported by its capture/controller backends
