you probably want to create a home assistant scene with the lights set to what you want then have an automation to activate this scene when you want it
merry wave
but I want the color to change matching whats on the screen when I play games, like when I used the hue-bridge

how does the hue bridge accomplish this?
you would have to connect information about what is on the screen and the use an automation to update the lights
merry wave
it uses the hue sync app but it need a hue-bridge
grand kayak
right, so it uses a proprietary philips setup to work
I imagine the realistic answer here is: "No, you cant do that"
you might be able to completely reimplement this type of system from scratch but its not going to be easy
merry wave
yes and im looking for another way to do it
grand kayak
you could potentially split the input to the TV and also send it to a capture device which you could read from, calculate what colour the light should be. report this to home assistant which then sets it
merry wave
I should probably just get a new hue-bridge but I was hoping for another way to do it
merry wave
found a script for it. its not the same, all lights have the same color but it will have to do. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/real-time-sync-between-pc-monitor-and-lights-similar-to-hue-sync/698716/2
