A Home Assistant integration plugin for OpenRGB that allows you to control your Home Assistant lights directly through the OpenRGB interface, enabling seamless synchronization between your PC RGB devices and smart home lighting.
This plugin bridges the gap between OpenRGB's PC-focused RGB control and Home Assistant's smart home lighting capabilities. It allows users to incorporate their smart home lighting into their PC RGB ecosystem, creating a unified lighting control system.
This entire plugin was created using assistance from:
As such:

- Real-time Control: Instant response to lighting changes
- Persistent Settings: Saves your configuration and device selections
- Device Management: Add or remove lights easily
- Download the plugin file (HA Light Sync.dll)
