LumiSync

Synchronize Govee, iDotMatrix, and LSC/Tuya lights with your screen or music.

Python 3.11+ PyPI version License: MIT GitHub stars

FeaturesInstallationUsageDevelopmentRoadmap


[!NOTE] This project is in active development. Windows is fully supported; Linux X11 is partial, macOS/Wayland are WIP.

✨ Features

Feature Description
🖥️ Monitor Sync Sample colors from screen regions and sync to your LED strip in real-time
🎵 Music Sync React to audio with dynamic color patterns
🎨 Color Control Set custom colors and brightness directly from the app
🖌️ Modern GUI Blue-accented PySide6 interface with selectable Acrylic, Mica, and Solid Dark window materials
🔌 Multi-Vendor Govee (LAN), iDotMatrix pixel panels (Bluetooth), and LSC/Tuya WiFi lights
🔍 Auto-Discovery Automatically finds Govee devices on your LAN via UDP broadcast
Low Latency Direct LAN communication, no cloud required

Supported devices

Every device family works out of the box — a single pip install lumisync (or the packaged Windows build) bundles all transports, no extras to remember.

Family Transport Notes
Govee strips/bulbs LAN (UDP) Enable "LAN Control" in the Govee app
iDotMatrix panels Bluetooth LE Pixel displays; see docs
LSC / Tuya WiFi lights LAN (Tuya local) Needs the device's local key — see docs

📦 Installation

Requirements: Python 3.11 or higher

From PyPI (Recommended)

pip install lumisync

From GitHub (Latest)

pip install git+https://github.com/Minlor/LumiSync.git

Development Install

git clone https://github.com/Minlor/LumiSync.git
cd LumiSync
pip install -e .

Prebuilt downloads

  • Windows — a portable .zip and a single-file .exe are attached to each GitHub release.
  • Linux — an x86_64 AppImage is attached to each release; chmod +x it and run. Build it yourself with tools/build_linux.sh (needs Python 3.12+ and appimagetool deps). A Flatpak is scaffolded in packaging/flatpak/ but not yet finished.

Platform notes: Windows is fully supported. On Linux, device control, music sync, and manual control work on X11 and Wayland; screen (monitor) sync currently requires an X11/Xorg session — Wayland capture is planned.

🚀 Usage

Launch the App

lumisync

The GUI opens by default. The legacy interactive terminal is still available with lumisync --cli; direct headless modes are available through lumisync --monitor and lumisync --music.

Quick Start

  1. Discover devices — Click "Discover Devices" for Govee LAN lights or "Scan Bluetooth" for pixel panels.
  2. Select your lights — Choose one or more devices from the Devices page.
  3. Control your lights — Set color, brightness and power directly from each device card.
  4. Start syncing — Open Monitor Sync or Music Sync, choose the target devices and start the mode.

Interface

  • Devices — Discover, add and control LAN or Bluetooth lights; multi-select devices for bulk actions.
  • Monitor Sync — Map display colors to selected devices, groups, zones, and custom LED regions.
  • Music Sync — Choose reactions, palettes, targets and brightness, or use Auto Director.
  • Draw — Paint still images or frame-by-frame animations for compatible iDotMatrix panels.
  • Settings — Choose Acrylic, Mica, or Solid Dark; select a display, tune sync behavior, manage groups, startup and system-tray options.

Configuration

  • LED Mapping - Customize which screen regions map to which LEDs
  • Brightness - Adjust per-mode brightness (10-100%)
  • Display Selection - Choose which monitor to capture (multi-monitor support)
  • Sync Tuning - Tune smoothing, saturation, frame rate, gamma and music response

Brand and documentation assets

The production app icon, transparent mark, tray variants, Windows .ico, and GitHub banner live in assets/brand. Regenerate the complete icon set from its single SVG geometry with:

python tools/generate_brand_assets.py

Fresh README screenshots can be captured from the real PySide application on Windows with:

python tools/capture_readme_screenshots.py --material acrylic
