Hi Robert, is there a special recommended hardware setup with Lifx-stripes? I just bought 6m of stripes to install on my 85" Sony Android TV and I’m wondering if I need to start in a special corner or if everything is freely configurable. Cannot test yet, since I just joined the Beta and am still…

Hi, I purchased the premium package to run Sync on my Hue play devices from Sony A8 Android TV. However, I am unable to see any options to add new devices under Sync. Is there a delay expected from purchase of premium to activation of Sync? I am using version 1.14.6.

Hi @Basudev_Chakraborty , you first need to create an entertainment area on your phone. After that you can use that entertainment area on your TV. See for more information: Gray screen with sync? Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @Thomas Thanks a lot for the tip, it works perfectly now :slight_smile:

Is it possible for this to work with devices connected to hdmi ports (i.e. consoles etc) and/or regular tv channels on android tv or is this mainly for apps?
