Found this hue motion but i couldnt get it to run.
Anyone that has some input?

So i managed to do this. Its probably quite a dirty fix. And only setup to work with phillips hue bulbs/strips. But if u want to know shoot me a pm and ill show it.

Most people will suggest ADA102 for beginners. The strips I linked to are LPD8806. As I mentioned previously the only reason I bought those ones is that MMM-PiLights was programmed to use them.

Oh lawd! This looks insanely good. Thanks alot for the guide. Out to go buy some strips today! :D

To quote myself…

Can i use any sorts of led strips? Im looking to buy something from a store and not order online if possible.
Im in norway so if anyone knows something i could buy please let me know!

You outta do a write up with instructions! MANY people would love this!

I used these only because they were incredibly cheap and I originally started out looking at MMM-PiLights which uses the same LPD8806 type:

I used this python code:
https://github.com/longjos/RPi-LPD8806

I used the MMM-PIR-Sensor module and changed the following in node_helper.js:

From:

        if (data.indexOf("0x120002") !== -1)
          exec("/opt/vc/bin/tvservice --preferred && chvt 6 && chvt 7", null);

To:

        if (data.indexOf("0x120002") !== -1){
          exec("/opt/vc/bin/tvservice --preferred && chvt 6 && chvt 7", null);
          exec("python /home/pi/py-spidev/RPi-LPD8806/LED.py");
       }

and

From:

      exec("/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o", null);

To:

      exec("/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o", null);
      exec("python /home/pi/py-spidev/RPi-LPD8806/off.py");
       }

Note that in the first from - to there is a “)” missing in the original code that you will need to fix. Also note that as soon as the module gets updated if you hack the code like I did above it will be wiped out when you update.

Please do let me know if you too have started on something.

I’am working on a Pi-hat (plug on to the GPIO connector) witch can control an RGB-LED strip.
For the software I want to use a PIR and the clock for switching On/Off. With PWM (Puls Wide Modulation) regulating the brightness. Color changing will be random, but there will be a fixed color in a white color, around 3000 K (warm-white).

It will take some time to build/write the software, because I’am not a software guru.
