At this moment only a led string based on the WS2801, LDP6803, LPD8806, Adalight, Sedu, and Lightpack are supported. Other similar devices may be added, but we are unable to test those and therefore we need help with this. If you want support for an additional device pleas let us know and maybe we can add the new device with your testing (or even coding) help.
<h6>Boblight?</h6>
Hyperion is not the only 'Ambilight' clone available for the Raspberry Pi. [Boblight](https://code.google.com/p/boblight/) is a well known and much more used alternative. Why choose Hyperion? Hyperion is built with the Raspberry Pi's limited amount of processing power in mind resulting in an implementation which is about **15x** faster. Where Boblight is setup as a client-server, Hyperion is built in a single app. This drops the need to serialize and deserialize all data sent between the video grabber and the led controller. Hyperion has the possibility to enable an interface which accepts data from clients written for Boblight. This makes it easier to switch to Hyperion if other devices for which no Hyperion client exist are still used.

Hyperion has the possibility to enable an interface which accepts data from clients written for Boblight. This makes it easier to switch to Hyperion if other devices for which no Hyperion client exist are still used. Note that all color transformations should be disabled in the Boblight client, because otherwise transformations are applied twice (first by the Boblight client and second by Hyperion). Boblight has a default gamma correction value of 2.2 which needs to be set to 1. Below is an example of how to run boblight-X11 when connecting to Hyperion.
```
DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/local/bin/boblight-X11 -s 192.168.53.21:19333 -o gamma=1 -x
```
