Apologies, I hate it when you stumble upon a thread where someone has the same issue as you and they sign off with “it’s ok, I got it working”, whilst giving no explanation!

Here’s what I’ve been using instead:

Ensure you read the thread in full as the user mate2002 has an a link to their github repo where it’s tidied up a bit.

Pros are that you can provide more than one light and it’ll provide each one with a colour from what’s playing, cons are that it requires appdaemon and it isn’t as straight forward as an automation.

In order to get the script to run properly, I had to use the following config in the AppDaemon addon:

{
  "disable_auto_token": false,
  "system_packages": [
    "libcurl",
    "zlib-dev",
    "libjpeg-turbo-dev",
    "libwebp",
    "tk",
    "openjpeg",
    "python3-dev",
    "curl-dev",
    "gcc",
    "g++"
  ],
  "python_packages": [
    "pip==19.0.3",
    "pycurl",
    "Pillow"
  ]
}

There are probably a few components there that are no longer required, worth a bit of a play.

Let us know if you have any trouble getting this working.
