    These dont actually require the Hue Play Sync box if you have a PC plugged into your TV and are happy to run content through that you can just install the Sync app to do the same thing

    • fredskis on 03/02/2021 - 11:11

      To add to this, you can also use the Hue Stream Android app on an Android TV box like the NVIDIA Shield (won't work with HDCP sources though).

      • Rajserp on 03/02/2021 - 11:16

        Do you mean via the app, Hue Essentials?
        I have used this for other lights to sync to screen content previously. Didn't realise the Gradient could be controlled via this mode as it only shows as one light.
        Will give this a try once it arrives though!

      • Kayfam on 03/02/2021 - 11:31

        Any idea if this will work with TV's running Android TV or does it require an android box like the shield?

        Edit it requires an HDMI input…. Disregard.

        • fredskis on 03/02/2021 - 11:54

          Does the Android TV let you install apps from the store?
          If so, give Hue Stream a go, it's based off what the device is displaying, whereas the physical Sync Box sits in between requiring HDMI input.

            @fredskis: It does actually, but how does the TV communicate with this device if there is no HDMI input to it?

              @Kayfam: The Hue Stream app runs in the background. I guess it might also depend on your Android TV and its specs and whether it forcibly kills background apps or not. It sends light colour/intensity commands to the Hue Bridge via the Hue Entertainment API. The Hue Bridge then sends this out to the lightstrip or whatever other Hue lights are part of the entertainment zone over Zigbee.

    • XC3LL on 03/02/2021 - 11:16

      I noticed with the Sync app it wont play with protected contents like Netflix and PrimeTV , do you know if the Hue Play sync box goes around this since its signal based from HDMI?

      • Rajserp on 03/02/2021 - 11:17

        Yes, the sync box will process and pass through the hdcp correctly.

  • PreSsieGuY on 03/02/2021 - 11:23

    assuming this would be UK plug?

    Bought a bunch of Lifx Z-Strips last year when it was on sale and took me a couple of months to find the Hue Essentials app to give me Ambilight. I have to say for the price, it does the job very well but like others have mentioned, you won't be able to watch protected content which is a shame which the Gradient strip appears to be able to do so it may be well worth it for those who want the full amblight experience.

    I would love one of these one day but right now they are just far too expensive and it doesn't even consider the need for a Sync box which immediately doubles the price.

    • GUYANDSON on 03/02/2021 - 12:05

      I Just did a whole DIY ambilight setup for my 55" TV for less than these strips…

      5M of WS2812B LEDs - $40
      NodeMCU - $5
      5v 14A PSU - $40
      HDMI 4x2 Matrix (HDCP capable) - $100
      HDMI USB Grabber - $14
      Raspberry Pi 3B - $60
      Energy monitoring wifi power socket - $20
      Total - $280

      NodeMCU driving the LEDs with WLED
      Raspberry Pi running Hyperion and HassIO
      Power socket connects to that instance of HassIO, whenever the TV turns on, it turns the hyperion script on. When TV goes off, hyperion goes off.

      Would be even cheaper if I stuck to using a raspberry pi camera in place of the matrix/grabber but I wasn't a fan of the color accuracy and having to position the camera in the middle of the living room.

      • raybies on 03/02/2021 - 12:28

        5v and 5m… hmmm, I get >1v voltage sag w/ 12v.

        • bigbear on 03/02/2021 - 13:51

          all the WS2812 LEDs are 5V driven.

          what i do is run 12V with a step-down near the strip terminals to provide Vcc.

          voltage sag isn’t an issue for the control circuit, which is TTL

        • GUYANDSON on 03/02/2021 - 17:55

          used 3.5m in the end, seller I bought the LEDs off only sold in 1 or 5M increments.

          Measured 4.85v at the end of the strip.

      • phxsun on 03/02/2021 - 13:49

        Yeah I always knew there were cheaper DIY options but quite frankly, I just couldn't be bothered. The set up I have is good enough for now. Maybe one day I'll go down the DIY route

  • MeagerDollarBucks on 03/02/2021 - 11:52

    As a work around for playing DRM content without the need for the Sync Box - I use Hue essentials and Kodi on an Nvidia Shield. Works perfectly.

    • Rajserp on 03/02/2021 - 16:56

      I have done this, however screen capture applications only get the data of the washed out signal when using HDR content. The application would need to do tone mapping to get the led colour close.

    No update on availability of 75" stock yet. The 55" version when viewed on amazon.co.uk shows Feb 23 as restocking date for that item.

  • Rajserp on 08/03/2021 - 09:28

    No new update from Amazon Chat other than stock is very limited, stock should be on the way however no ETA given to me
