Tip

You do not need to follow this guide every time you want to use OpenRGB with F1MV-Lights-Integration. You only need to set up OpenRGB once. Every time you want to use OpenRGB with F1MV-Lights-Integration, simply click the "Start Server" button in OpenRGB and the "(Re)connect with OpenRGB" button in F1MV-Lights-Integration.

When you have started the SDK Server before you launched F1MV-Lights-Integration, you do not need to click the "(Re)connect with OpenRGB" button.
