Opensource RGB Controller (lemmy.ml)

Using OpenRGB for quite a while now I wonder if there is any Opensource RGB controller supported by OpenRGB? Found out about Adalight, but it seems very very dated.

What i am trying to archive is ambilight style ambient illumination. Tried WLED via E1.31. It works quite well but seems to have some latency occasionally. So its not quite optimal. Is there any Opensource-Hardware option supported by OpenRGB?

WLED also supports serial over USB, have you tried that? https://kno.wled.ge/interfaces/serial/

I tried, bu no luck. Serial connection to the host is working fine. I can access Wled via Serial Terminal and also issue commands as described in the Wled documentation. However OpenRGB seems to prevent Wled from booting when serial is configured. The Wled web interface is not accessible while OpenRGB is running. I tried different baud rates as well as different protocols. Closing OpenRGB causes Wled to reboot and function normally.

I suspect there is a bug in OpenRGB since accessing Wled somewhat works via Serial Terminal. Can someone confirm OpenRGBs serial implementation is working correctly on the latest build? Might open a bug report over on Gitlab.
