AlbumArtLightSync

This project is created on my free time and only as my interest.

Why?

I recently bought a TP-Link Tapo L530 smart light bulb, got bored and had a stupid idea to synchronize the color from the album cover's most significant color based on the color palette when playing.

Other notes

The light gets set to 50% brightness with 3450 light temperature.

Based on this line

AlbumArtLightSync/main.py

Line 54 in e538bcd

await device.set().brightness(50).color_temperature(3450).send(device)

So you might want to adjust it to your needs or modify the whole line.
