Turn Your Gaming Room Into an Immersive Experience with Smart Lighting

PulseDeck Gaming Ambiance

Your Room, Your Game, Your Ambiance

What if launching a game could automatically transform your entire room? With PulseDeck and Home Assistant, every game you play gets its own unique lighting ambiance.

How It Works

PulseDeck features a customizable app launcher. Each shortcut can trigger Home Assistant automations when launched. Assign a lighting scene to each game:

  • Cyberpunk 2077 → Neon blue glow
  • Resident Evil → Dark, eerie red
  • Forza Horizon → Bright orange racing vibes
  • Minecraft → Warm green ambient

Set it up once, and every gaming session becomes immersive with zero effort.

What You Need

  • PulseDeck (25 EUR, lifetime license): Get it on Gumroad
  • Home Assistant instance on your local network
  • Smart lights: Philips Hue, WLED, Zigbee, or any HA-compatible lights

More Than Just Lights

PulseDeck is a full dashboard for your secondary screen: PC monitoring, OBS Studio control, volume mixer, Pomodoro timer, RSS feeds, notes, and 13+ modules. All offline, no subscription.
