What is sudo sed -i '/^User/d' /etc/systemd/system/hyperhdr\@.service for?

Seems to be initializing the service for the current user. The '/^User/d' is grabbing the username, and the rest of the command is saving the config to a file for later use.

The Beta 18.0.0. Interestingly enough has a toggle for auto updating, that after chatting with the dev on his *.org site of virtually the same name explains it IS functional - perfect for the folks using a PC, or a secondary old laptop ( I fitted my son's gaming PC with HyperHDR being run from my first laptop I bought brand new off the shelf - a SIXTEEN year old Dell Inspiron 1525, running a processor that didn't get released till roughly 3 years after the 1525 was discontinued 😅 It's doing a bang up job too I might add!!).

This program here truly is next level immersion!
Integrated with my 5 RGB pit lights, 2 desk lamps flanking the 65" OLED, and even the new diffused RGB baseboards I've been tinkering with and building - this program is simply AMAZING with everything it does (via HyperSPI) and the virtually limitless integration!!

For some reason I felt compelled to pass that on to you. Unsure why this ended up as a life story of my use case for hyper HDR, lol!

Hello all,

I have Raspberry PI 3 v2. I initially installed the first code @EverythingSmartHome provided above. After a while, lights would not work sometimes. I decided to dive deeper and realized I am on the old version. I uninstalled the version I had with:
sudo apt remove hyperhdr
Remember to save your configurations, LED count and etc. All will be deleted
I tried to use @meictec 's code since it was the latest. However, it wouldn't work for me.
I tried to run uname -m and realized that my device architecture is armv7l, which latest 20beta1 does not support. At least they didn't have the file there. However v19 did have it. So I I change it to this, and worked fine. :)

Are you still able to do his exact setup with the Pi Zero W? Because I can't even get the latest HyperHDR version running on the pi. Can you tell me more about your setup?
