Are you doing anything with Hue?

Thinking about lighting up my new tv stand (put LED strips in). Is it worth taking the plunge into hue? or should i just buy some bog standard ones that I can plug in the socket where i turn all my non permanent on AV stuff. so it's only on when i'm watching tv?
 
Got a lightstrip yesterday to try, tried it behind the computer desk and mounted on the rear of the TV. TV won, but will by a 2nd for the desk next month.

This is getting expensive now :p

Played around getting the light to change with the picture on screen (Kodi add on), to be honest it's a little distracting. I'm going to have a go writing a script to dim/un-dim the lightstrip when entering playback or pausing. I've had a play with the API already and it's pretty straight forward to use.
 
Didn't pull the trigger in the end ... we have a lot of lights which are Small Edison Screw which I think are too small for Hue ones to fit in to.
 
Just spent a fortune on these. Rewire finishes friday so cant wait to try them out.

P.s. 4 for 3 offer is currently on the above at certain diy store.
 
Yeah the £50 off the starter pack on Prime Day was a great deal! There were great deals on the light strips and Hue Go too. I took advantage :)

Just a shame it was limited to one per person!
