I heard there is a update coming soon. I came from another Permanent Led company and there app is user friendly to build and save sequences.
Can a off button be added instead of in the list!
Will and Calendar schedule be added to pre plan holidays or events?
Easy to create colors patterens without code. simple ones that can add effects. and able to name them.
With this being said most of our market are older people buying these systems that we install for. Screen recorded intro would be helpful for the users.
We are excited to be part of this as it is the easiest system to install and connect. Thanks for your hard work. Darryl
Hi Darryl, I am working on the upcoming Pixel Lights update.
Plans for an off button have only been discussed, but because it does not actually shut off power to the lights we do not want to cause confusion in that area.
A calendar and pattern scheduler is in the works, but may not be present in the next update. However, it is at the top of the priority list for the following updates.
Custom patterns that you can name are on the way, hopefully in the next update!
Thanks for the questions, Darryl. Hopefully, this helps!
Hey everyone, the Pixel Lights App has a fresh new update! It’s available on Apple & Android. Testflight for Apple and Beta tester for Android. Some new features to check out; Pattern builder, zone creation, individual controller selection…
Shout out to @zranger1’s big brain/multi-segment pattern and @wizard’s super awesome Pixelblaze controller!
Hey @TechDoctor, I just added Spain. Let me know if it still doesn’t show up. Also if you have any questions about the App let me know and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. This is the Beta, and we are tweaking things still. We just wanted people to check it out, so any and all feedback is really appreciated.
I’m trying to download your app to give it a go, but all i can see is a button to add to wishlist…
Can you add Thailand (i’m there right now) & France to the list of countries ?
@mnielsen, first of all, terrific app !
Absolutely a treat to be able to modify easily my wearables without having to try to load the web pages on my phone on the go !
But even better: it’s extremely reactive: i can send inputs real time to the PB.
Do you think it would be possible at some point to personnalize the preview image, or be able to control patterns with buttons in the app ?
Great job !
On the con side: i’m having connectivity problems (can’t detect the PB) if i close the app and reopen it later, or turn off the screen for a while then come back to the app. Have to restart the controller and the app, which is not ideal… Seems this problem is the same as what i have with the native interface.
Hi @hololit, thank you for the feedback!
Personalized images are definitely on the want list, I just can’t say when we’ll get that done.
When you say control patterns with buttons, I’m guessing you mean patterns you have made previously with PixelBlaze? To use those patterns you can toggle between old and new UI in the App’s setting tab. The Beta version of the App uses a single (Master) pattern to essentially create all of the patterns. We kept the ability to switch to the old UI, so PB users can still use the App.
If you have any other questions, let me know and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
Yes I’m using the interface allowing to select the pre-saved patterns of the PB. And it shows nicely the UI elements defined in the pattern (slider, switch buttons…).
To me the great potential this app has is to be able to wirelessly control a pattern (by providing input to the UI elements) with very low latency. It allows to change dynamically and manually how a pattern evolves, for example activate a specific effect when I something happens externally. It’s like being able to provide button input on the PB wirelessly without having to build a communication board between a hardware control panel and the PB.
So being able to build our own control UI would be absolutely amazing (very “pro”) but I guess I’m taking a stretch here.
Congratulations for your app anyways, i’ll be looking for the updates !
A few more changes and and an updated look for the App. A more intuitive way to set zones, and pattern direction of the zones.
If you have the chance to take this for a test run, let us know if there is any patterns or animations you would like to see added. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
