[SOLVED] Chroma HDK + Philips Hue

I know this topic has probably been already brought up but, is there a way to make the HDK sync with Hue ambilight app for windows(like in movies, etc.)? The only topics I found are from a few years ago and it seems like nobody ever found a solution to that.

And if not, is there a way to sync it with the screen colors besides Hue?

EDIT - DERP - Re-read your request, it was SPECIFIC to the chroma HDK...gah sorry - will leave this here for others in case it helps anyone.

In my experience, you can go 2 ways here. If we enable the bridge in Synapse, this is giving Synapse the ability to control Hue:



However, if we go into the connect module of synapse, we can enable sync in the other way, from the Hue app to Razer devices:



That said, you also need to enable this functionality in the Hue app as well:



Once done, you should see the music/game hue effects pushed to the Razer peripherals as well. However, while running through this, I see that my keyboard/mouse/headset are responsive, my chroma HDK is not...

Hope this helps!

We now have the "Environmental Awareness" effect in the Razer studio. Problem solved for everybody
Yeah the new update really did fix a lot for issues for me too. Until then I was unable to get Overwatch to connect to my system much less my Hue bulbs. Now everything seems to be working great.
Did u got working Razer HDK with the Hue Sync Program on Windows?
