Sync LIFX lights with video, audio and other lights

Glimmr runs a local lighting server that samples a screen, webcam or video input and sends colors to LIFX and other lighting systems. Its LIFX code supports ordinary bulbs and has specific handling for older Z and Beam products.

Install the server on a supported computer or Raspberry Pi and configure its browser interface. Newer multizone products and Tile pixels are not covered by the checked LIFX write path, and some Linux installation issues remain open.
