Hue Entertainment API v2
HyperHDR supports Hue gradient light strips using the new Entertainment API V2, which should also work with other types of Philips lamps. You will need the Philips Hue app to configure your lights and bridge first. For Android, you can find it here: link
Now we configure Philips Hue app: create a new entertainment group and position our lights (you just need to keep them separated / one light per each channel).

Tip
If you decide to disable the linear output for the Hue lamps there, you can choose to increase the gamma in the processing tab, for example, to 2.2. Disabling this option is recommended because then the gamma is taken into account during the smoothing process. If it is enabled, it is applied afterward at the final stage before sending the colors to the lamp, which may result in slightly less smooth color transitions.
Your Hue bridge should be found. Otherwise you must put its IP address manually. Now click on the Create a new User and clientkey button. In the next step, you will be asked to press a button on the Hue bridge.
You should find your Hue entertainment group here. Click on the Use configuration ID button.
Now you can configure your lights (channels) position and size. You can also edit it more precisely in the next step. Save your configuration now.
If you are not satisfied with the position of the Hue lamp or the area of the screen it reflects, go to the LED Hardware tab then select LED Layout on the top. Click on the Zoom button to make the editor more accessible and readable. Right-click on the selected lamp. Now you can change its position, size and force identification (blinking).
