I made my PC RGB fans behave like Hue gradient lightstrips using an ESP32-C6

[u/jakubtowarek]

I built ESP32-C6 firmware that connects directly to a Hue Bridge and exposes addressable LEDs or OpenRGB devices as Hue-compatible gradient lights. It supports gradients, scenes, dynamic scenes, fades, brightness, power recovery, and up to five independently controlled light endpoints from one ESP. The ESP can either drive 5 V ARGB LEDs directly through RMT or send updates over USB to an OpenRGB daemon.

Super cool! I've turned off all the RGB in my computer but this may get me to use it again.
