Make your lights react to your stream

Flash the room on a raid, sub, tip or channel-point redemption - locally, over your own Wi-Fi.

Both halves are in the desktop app: first add your lights, then set the reactions that fire them. GriddleBot talks to your lights directly over your Wi-Fi, so nothing about your home lighting goes through anyone's cloud.

1. Add your lights

  1. Open the desktop app and go to Lights & Reactions in the sidebar.
  2. Under Find lights automatically, click Scan network. It looks for WLED, Nanoleaf, Hue and LIFX on your Wi-Fi.
  3. WLED and LIFX lights it finds have an Add button. For Hue and Nanoleaf, Use this IP fills in that brand's card so you can pair it.
  4. If a light does not turn up, add it by hand from the card for that brand further down.
  5. WLED and Nanoleaf need the light's IP address, which you will find in that brand's own app or in your router.
  6. For Hue, press the round link button on the Bridge first, then click Pair & add within 30 seconds.
  7. Hue then asks which lights: all of them, one room, or a single bulb. Pick one and click Add these lights.
  8. For Nanoleaf, hold the power button on the controller for about 5 to 7 seconds until the LED flashes, then click Pair & add.
  9. LIFX needs nothing typed at all - click Find & add LIFX lights.

2. Say when they should fire

  1. On the same page, scroll to Reactions and click + Add reaction.
  2. Choose When: Stream event, Channel-point redemption, Chat command or OBS event.
  3. For a stream event, pick the Event - New follower, New sub, Resub, Gifted sub(s), Raid, Cheer / bits or Donation / tip - and use Only if at least if you only want the big ones.
  4. Set Then to Control smart lights.
  5. Pick a Style: a Solid colour, an Animation - Flash, Pulse, Strobe, Rainbow or Police - or Turn off.
  6. Set Flashes, Brightness % and For (seconds).
  7. Leave Put my lights back afterwards ticked.
  8. Click Save reaction, then Test it now to watch it happen without waiting for a real raid.

Untick Put my lights back afterwards and an alert leaves your room stuck on whatever colour it flashed. You will notice at the end of the stream, sitting in a red room.

Hue pairing is two clicks, not one: the first pairs with the Bridge and reads what you have, the second adds the lights you picked. If you want the one lamp behind you flashing and nothing else, choose it by name rather than All my Hue lights - the room and bulb options are there for exactly that.

Govee is not connectable yet - its card says Coming soon. The four that work today are WLED, Hue, Nanoleaf and LIFX.

Add a Chat command reaction called !color that controls smart lights, and set Who can use it to Everyone - a chat command starts on Mods only. Viewers can then set the colour themselves - !color blue, !color #ff00aa, !color rainbow. For getting Alexa or Google Home to announce a raid, the longer reference guide covers the webhook route.

Reactions also has its own page in the app, under Chat in the sidebar. It edits the same reactions with a slightly different layout, so use whichever you prefer.
