A video of these conditions and the resulting colors would be nice.

I wonder if the limited amount of variables mean one could just ask ChatGPT to generate a one-time lookup table of colors and store them locally. But it's interesting to see that an LLM can be a "color designer".

I like the idea of storing the colours locally - better for privacy too! Definitely a novelty factor that AI is "designing" my apartment's colours.

Here's a snapshot of how it works in my office - bedroom and living room have similar setups and draw from the same colours:

And details on the setup in Node Red/Home Assistant: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36018291

I realize now, instead of a lookup table, ChatGPT could probably generate a piece of code that considers those inputs (so e.g. temperature, time of day/weekday, cloud cover); and output colors.

Brilliant idea. I hadn't thought of that, but it would save me some API quota and give me a little more control over the outcome.

I might struggle matching colours to the music playing a little, but there are so many other factors that it probably doesn't matter.
