Spotify LIFX Visualiser
Visualise your Spotify music through your LIFX bulb(s)!
Setup
Clone the repository, register a Spotify app and create a file called ".env" with the following:
CLIENT_ID=yourclientid
CLIENT_SECRET=yourclientsecret
REDIRECT_URI=yourredirecturi
PORT=anyport
You can create a redirect URI by clicking "Edit settings" on the Spotify developer site. Make sure the port of the redirect URI and the port the app runs on are the same (e.g. 8888)
Finally, run npm install
Running
npm start
A browser window will open asking you to authorize your Spotify account
Additional options
-b [mode] or --beatmode [mode]
Modes:
1: Based on the loudness of the track's current section
2: Based on the difference in loudness from the previous beat to the current beat (recommended)
-c [mode] or --colourmode [mode]
Modes:
1: Cycles through the colour wheel
2: Based off the album artwork's colours
3: Based on the existing colour of the light with slight saturation shifts for variety
4: Purely based on the existing colour of the light
-w or --writeanalysis writes the Spotify song analysis data to a file
-l [lightnames] or --lights [lightnames] choose which lights get used separated by commas e.g. --lights 'Bedroom, Upstairs, Downstairs' (not specifying this will just assume you want to use all your lights)
-t or --threshold number between 0 and 100 controlling what is deemed as a new beat (to change colour) (0 = all beats are new, 100 = barely any beats are new). Recommended is about 30-45.
-m or --maxbrightness number between 0 and 100 controlling the max brightness of your lights
-s or --minsaturation number between 0 and 360 controlling the minimum saturation of your lights in colour mode 3
Example
npm start -- --beatmode 2 --colourmode 1 --writeanalysis --lights 'Bedroom, Upstairs' will start the app in beat mode 2, colour mode 1, will write song analysis data to a file and will use the Bedroom and Upstairs lights
Warning
Depending on the music you use it may be possible to cause seizures. Be careful!
