OpenRGB

OpenRGB is a centralized software suite for controlling colors and lighting effects across various brands of RGB hardware. It functions as a cross-platform controller and hardware control system that provides a unified interface for managing lighting profiles and effects.

The project features an extensible plugin framework and a dedicated plugin interface that allow for the addition of new hardware support and integration features. It includes a network gateway that exposes an API for third-party applications to send lighting commands to connected devices.

The system supports multi-computer synchronization to coordinate lighting effects across different hardware setups on a network. It also provides a command line interface for executing hardware commands and managing lighting configurations without a graphical user interface.

Lighting management capabilities include the ability to save and load specific color configurations and profiles through a serialization system.
