Features:

Low CPU load makes it perfect for SoCs like Raspberry Pi
Json interface which allows easy integration into scripts
A command line utility for testing and integration in automated environment
Priority channels are not coupled to a specific led data provider which means that a provider can post led data and leave without the need to maintain a connection to Hyperion. This is ideal for a remote application (like our former Android app, which is no longer available).
