If you're familiar with PC peripherals, more specifically lighting software, you would probably be aware that not everything can sync up, unless a game supports it, or it supports additional software, like Aura Sync, for Asus products, or "Works with Razer Chroma" for Razer support. But what if I told you that there was a way you could control all your lighting, even your smart bulbs, from one program?

An almost fully capable Philips Hue emulator, that's open source and works with the Hue app to set up your device, as well as Synapse, all running on a Raspberry Pi, or even the computer Synapse is running on. And with some modding of the config file and some Python code (I hope to share the full details soon on my
