OpenRGB-Python

Documentation Status

OpenRGB-Python is a client for the OpenRGB SDK,
a manufacturer-independent, cross-platform way to control your RGB devices.
OpenRGB-Python can be used to interface with other programs, create custom
effects, or anything else you can think of!

I started this project because I wanted to be able to control the color of my lights based on temps. I tried to implement the features in the best (easiest to use) way possible.

SDK Feature Support:

  • Setting client name
  • Getting device info
  • Setting color by device
  • Setting color by zone
  • Setting color by led
  • Setting mode
  • Setting custom mode
  • Resizing zones
  • Loading profiles
  • Saving profiles

Installation

requires python >= 3.7

Use this method for the newest, but possibly buggy, package:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/jath03/openrgb-python#egg=openrgb-python

Arch Linux:
yay -S python-openrgb-git

For a more stable package:

pip3 install openrgb-python

Arch Linux:
yay -S python-openrgb

This AUR package is out of date. Use python-openrgb-git instead.

Thanks to @GabMus for the AUR packages

Usage

python
from openrgb import OpenRGBClient from openrgb.utils import RGBColor, DeviceType client = OpenRGBClient() client.clear() # Turns everything off motherboard = client.get_devices_by_type(DeviceType.MOTHERBOARD)[0] motherboard.set_color(RGBColor(0, 255, 0)) motherboard.zones[0].set_color(RGBColor(255, 0, 0)) motherboard.zones[1].leds[0].set_color(RGBColor.fromHSV(0, 100, 100)) motherboard.set_mode("breathing") client.save_profile("profile1")
