Do you love going to concerts? Ever dreamed of building a Deadmau5 cube in your basement? If so, LIGHTLINK is the perfect addition to your RGB setup. LIGHTLINK connects YouTube video with your Nanoleaf, Govee, WLED, Twinkly, Yeelight, and OpenRGB Lights to create an immersive and engaging light show in your living room. Elevate your experience beyond sound reactive or screen mirroring with light shows perfectly designed for each song and video. Why is LIGHTLINK different from your Rhythm module or other sound-reactive apps? The technology used in any auto-reactive automation can only listen and hear the loud and soft parts of your music. There is no real intelligence beyond that. LIGHTLINK goes beyond Artificial Intelligence and goes old school back to Human Intelligence. Each of the light shows that you watch on LIGHTLINK is programmed by a Billboard award-winning professional lighting designer. That means that you get the same quality light show that you would expect to see at your favorite concert.....and it doesn't cost you hundreds of dollars. Music is ultimately about emotion and how it makes you feel. Computers, hardware, and AI can't feel........yet. For now, we've got the human advantage. After carefully listening to each piece of music we interpret it for you and paint those emotions in light on your Nanoleaf Triangles, Squares, Hexagons, and Lines. We're new, but here is what some of our favorite Redditors have to say about GoLightLink: -"I gotta say this is one of the most unique and interesting ideas I've seen on Reddit for quite some time, really great work mate." u/Pa1D -"Whenever I saw those led, I thought meh! But after seeing your setup, I think I need to convince my wife I need this in my life" u/EricAndersonL -"That’s so sick. Love it" u/jv0731 -"This is mental! Absolute props for it." u/Mountain_eer -"Well that’s the coolest thing ever" u/princeboot -"F*** it, this is getting a gold lol" u/forestman11 -"This is too damn good" u/_exrio_ -"This is genuinely amazing. How did you do this?!" u/harris_008 Once you connect your RGB hardware, no input is required from you other than choosing your favorite songs from LIGHTLINK's extensive playlists. Each song and video has a unique light show programmed by our award-winning lighting designers. Sit back and relax or invite your friends over for a party. Let us take control of the lights and transport you to light show heaven. EULA can be found here: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
