Overview

Lightweight Homebridge plugin that allows you to control your DreamScreen Ambient TV device with HomeKit. Features: full control over color, brightness, video, music, ambient and sleep mode. You can also activate the 8 ambiant scenes (i didn't add the "random colors" scene)

This is a fork of the original plugin by ToracX

It uses ToracX's python script featured here: https://github.com/ToracX/DreamScreenCommander

update your ~/.homebridge/config.json file with correct ip adress.

Dont forget to set the correct ip.
