Ionity Control Center (iCC)

#Live rig previewer

This is the same planner logic that ships inside icc scene — type a mood, Lumina plans a palette, effect and tempo, and this virtual rig (4 ARGB fans, 2 RAM sticks, a motherboard strip) plays it. No install needed.

#IonityRGB SDK

A .NET 10 library with a provider plug-in model. Two providers ship in the box — and fans are first-class citizens, not an afterthought.

🔌 OpenRGB provider

A clean-room client for the OpenRGB SDK network protocol (v0–3, auto-negotiated). Hundreds of community-supported devices — motherboards, DRAM, GPUs, ARGB hubs, strips, peripherals — through one local socket. No GPL code inside, which is why iCC is honestly Apache-2.0.

🌀 Fan provider

LibreHardwareMonitor-backed detection of physical fans: Super I/O headers, embedded controllers, GPU and AIO fans — with live RPM and PWM duty. Fans with zero lighting still make the list.

🧩 Your provider

Implement IRgbProvider, register it, and your devices join the same unified inventory. Direct-HID vendor backends are on the roadmap — contributions welcome.

// One list for everything that glows or spins
await using var icc = IccDeviceManager.CreateDefault();
var inventory = await icc.DetectAsync();

foreach (var device in inventory.Devices)
    Console.WriteLine(device);   // fans report RPM/PWM alongside RGB devices

var ram = inventory.RgbCapable.First(d => d.Type == DeviceType.Dram);
await icc.SetColorAsync(ram, RgbColor.IonityBlue);  // #00BFFF, naturally

#Lumina AI

The AI this stack was missing: a scene director with two brains and one voice.

🗣 Natural-language scenes

icc scene "cyberpunk storm" — Lumina plans name, mood, palette, effect and tempo. With ANTHROPIC_API_KEY set, Claude (claude-sonnet-5) directs; without it, a deterministic offline planner answers instantly. The exe never needs a network.

🌡 Adaptive Ambience

Live thermals mapped onto a cool→hot gradient: brand-blue at idle, red under load. Your case tells you what your CPU is doing before any dashboard does.

🛡 Anomaly Sentry

icc fans --watch keeps rolling statistics per fan and flags a stall or sudden stop the moment it deviates from its own baseline. A dying fan announces itself.

#The icc command line

One self-contained exe. No .NET install, no setup.

icc detect                          # scan RGB devices + fans into one list
icc set #00BFFF                     # everything goes Ionity blue
icc effect rainbow --speed 2        # classic, on every device at once
icc scene "cyberpunk storm"         # Lumina AI directs; your rig obeys
icc fans --watch                    # live RPM + AI anomaly sentry
icc export --out inventory.json     # machine-readable inventory

Lighting requires the free OpenRGB app with its SDK server enabled; full fan telemetry appears when run as Administrator.

#Protocol notes

The clean-room OpenRGB client implements the published wire format only.

Frame	Layout
Header (16 B)	`"ORGB"` magic · `u32` device index · `u32` packet id · `u32` payload size (LE)
Strings	`u16` length (incl. NUL) + ASCII bytes + NUL
Colors	`R,G,B,pad` — 4 bytes each
Key packets	`0` count · `1` controller data · `40` version · `50` client name · `1050` update LEDs · `1100` custom mode
Versioning	Client sends its version with packet `40`; effective = min(client, server). iCC speaks v0–3.
