Use Atmo-Light with Hyperion@libreelec&KODI

Hello everyone,

I use LibreELEC with KODI on a Raspberry PI. Since I still have an Atmo-Light (Atmo-Light) I would like to operate it with Hyperion via a USB to RS232 converter. Is this possible? If so, which setting do I have to make in the HyperCon?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hallo zusammen,

ich nutze LibreELEC mit KODI an einem Raspberry PI. Da ich noch ein Atmo-Light (Atmo-Light) habe möchte ich es gerne mit Hyperion über einen USB zu RS232 Umsetzter betreiben. Ist dies möglich? Falls ja, welche Einstellung muss ich im HyperCon vornehmen?

Vielen Dank schonmal im vorraus für Eure Hilfe.

Ok, can I use the Boblight plugin?

What do I have to enter in the configuration file?

This is my USB->RS232 Converter

LibreELEC:~ # lsusb

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port

Is /dev/ttyUSB0 the correct device?

The Atmo-Light uses a serial protocol:

Baud rate: 38400 bps, parity: None, data bits: 8, stop bits: 1

Message format:
Byte description
0 0xFF: start byte
1 0x00: start channel (low byte)
2 0x00: start channel (high byte)
3 0x0F: Number of channels (15 = 5 * 3 (R, G, B))
4 - 6 sum channel R, G, B (center)
7 - 9 left channel R, G, B (Left)
10 - 12 right channel R, G, B (Right)
13 - 15 upper channel R, G, B (top)
16 - 18 lower channel R, G, B (bottom)

Now it works after two days of work ;-).
I use the boblight plugin from the Libreelec Addon Repository, with the following configuration file:

[global]

I guess you are at LE9.2 ?

Yes, today I completely reinstalled everything with the version currently available on the LibreElec homepage.
