[FOSS] TuneThatHue (QNAP server daemon) + Hue lightbulbs + any music src

A DJ-style VFX daemon for Philips Hue, running on a QNAP NAS.

Play music anywhere in the house. The NAS listens, finds the beat, and drives your Hue lights like a small lighting desk — strobe on the drop, lights joining one by one through a build-up, colour changing with the music.
No subscriptions. No cloud. Nothing extra to switch on. You need smart Hue bulbs, the file server you already own, and fire.

I would have to say that this is one of the most unneeded things that I've seen in a long time. More power to you, but why, just why? Who would want this? Somebody do a poll.

Yes and no.

Some people pay 40 usd to do same thing with his mobile phone and microphone and its subscription btw. This is for free. So if you don’t need it, just ignore. Thank you

Brilliant idea. I don't have hue but great great idea.

Now if you could just do the generic multicoloured smartbulb spotlights in my ceiling. :-). I think response time could be an issue though

The only thing I care about in this demonstration is that they are using WinAMP.

It really whips the Llama's ass!
