Control lighting with music

[XiteHosting 0]

Hi,

Been searching the past half hour to solutions to be able to control the lighting with some kind of software, but haven't found anything.

The affordable things I find are music controllers for RGB strips, but no software that would allow me to hack in some http api commands to turn on / off lights and change colors.

Anyone who has come across software that might do this?

Another option (but would be a lot more expensive):

Does anyone know whether it's possible to use 2 controllers with one led strip?

So connecting both the fibaro as the music controller in parallel to a strip. Both of course using the same power supply.

Tecjnically you could connect two controllers in parallel, as long as they are well designed in regards to back feed.

For myself, i guess i would choose DMX over Ethernet, or just use a Spark Core/Impee/RPi and drive WS2801 pixel strands and write my own API.

Did you manage to do this? Wondering the same thing!
