Networking: How to Setup your Falcon Player and Falcon Controllerįirst off is understanding some of the lingo. NEW! Setting up your first light show – part 2. I’m not sponsored, everything you read is my personal opinion about the industry 🙂 My 2017 Christmas Light Show: Thus I begin my blog post as a intro to smart pixels and how to get started. For starters I found it very useful to learn the industry terms, and the concept of which parts are needed. So this post is part 1 of my journey into controlled light shows and can be yours too. With a little persistence and a lot of Google, YouTube, public forms and wiki pages, anything can be learned. Even though I have an electrical engineering background and years in technical marketing, don’t assume things come naturally. Accessibility: the app needs an accessibility service to render the emulated LED on-screen, and track the correct position to display in screen "off" mode.Want some cool Christmas lights? Tired of the normal lights your parents grew up on? When I began my journey into Christmas light shows (aka smart lights that twinkle to any pattern), I too knew absolutely nothing about the terms, the technology or what to look for. If you are concerned about that, you can always check out the source code (or not use the app).
This app absolutely requires several permissions to be able to function. Initial setup can be a bit tricky for a first-time user, but a setup wizard is included that guides you through the process. Can hide AOD completely, partially, and/or keep the clock visible Respects Do-Not-Disturb and AOD schedules Ability to mark notifications as seen based on various triggers Separate configuration modes for different power and screen states Displays during screen "off", sub-1% battery use per hour in Unholey Light mode
Selects initial notification color by analyzing dominant color of app icon Customizable color for each notification channel Configurable animation size, position, and speed Four different display modes: Swirl, Blink, Pie, Unholey Light Supports all Samsung devices with in-screen camera hole, and several Google Pixels. As this display is not around the camera hole, it is aptly named the Unholey Light. It animates the edges of the camera cut-out (AKA punch-hole) as replacement for the sadly missing LED on many modern devices.Īdditionally, it provides a notification display for when the screen is "off", replacing - or working in conjunction with - the Always-On Display feature. 100% Free - 100% GPLv3 Open Source - No ads - No tracking - No nags - Optional donation
