I receive a fancy gaming computer from someone, and it was littered with LEDs. OpenRGB let me turn them all off, it really does a good job.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I love OpenRGB. It's such a fast and lightweight alternative to Corsair iCUE, which is needlessly heavy, clunky, and resource-intensive just to tell your lights what color to be.
I have combined OpenRGB with openrgb-python and a Python script like here to make my PC cycle from blue to red according to the maximum temperature between CPU and GPU. Now i can see even a light load on my CPU (< 2°C) by simply looking at the pc. OpenRGB can even control the RGB on my DualShock 4.
This looks awesome, I would love if there was an android app for smart bulbs, outlets, etc. I hate having to install a new app for each brand.
I use Home Assistant for that. It ties everything together quite nicely.
Also, a lot of the generic devices are really Tuya devices and can be controlled using a single instance of Tuya Smart Life.
I have google home to control everything, but I still have to set them up using the original apps. I haven't checked out Tuya, I'll have a google thanks.
You can set up devices over zigbee with home assistant, and then control them with Google home

Probably easier to just use the official apps, though.
You can tie Google home into home assistant. It's pretty much the best way to control your home. It's super flexible as well. There is a learning curve. But it's a lot easier than it was a couple years ago.
hi all, i'm new to openrgb, (and first post on Lemmy), i'm trying this software but many problem with software, or better with profiles. I have a windows 10 pc, rayzen5 cpu, amd gpu, some corsair fan, some razer led stripe and keyboard. All device are set correctly i think and openrgb see all and manage it, but everytime i close app, at restart cannot load profile (or better load but seem no change), loose effect in use, loose parameter, loose hardware sync config, each time need to setup everything again.... is this normal? i'm using 0.8 release, because 0.9 did not load any plugin in my case.
thanks for support
Hey everyone :-) OMG I love OpenRGB, I'm having a lot of fun with the effects plugin! However I haven't been able to get the three fans from my Corsair H170i AIO working, only the pump. Can anyone offer any suggestions? They just turned off as soon as I opened the software.
I wish there would be some cross-platform software to control motherboard fans
I'm using ckb-next for my Corsair peripherals. Every other component in my Linux system either doesn't have RGB or has RGB intentionally disabled in the UEFI.
Are there any fancy frontends for it on Linux? I found OpenRGB a few years back through Artemis, but I believe that's Windows only...
Artemis has been ported to Linux since then!
Always a good thing to check the supported device list before buying PC parts.
I didn't and now I regret it lol
