Create your own custom LED-ring animations for Homey.

• Use millions of color tones to create any LED Ring animation that you like, up to 200 frames per animation.
• Use some helpfull tools for fills and rotations.
• Use generators to create basic animations with a few mouse clicks.
• Import frames and colors from any image.
• Save your creations and exchange them with your Homey friends.

NOTE 1: The operation of this app may work on some tablets, but it is designed for laptop and desktop PCs. Future versions might get mobile support.

NOTE 2: Homey's Desktop Application is very slow in performing some functions. It also might not render some screens as they should be. Urgent advice: Use Google Chrome (or a compatible browser) for the best experience with LEDitor. Just ignore the message that says 'Browsers are not supported'.

NOTE 3: Homey's screensavers wont work as long as a LEDitor animation is playing. Take that in consideration in case you are using screensavers for notifications. You could use LEDitor animations or Homey's built-in animation cards for these notifications. Homey's animation cards will interrupt a LEDitor animation. The LEDitor animation will continue when Homey's animation has finished.

If you think you have found a bug, or maybe you have a great idea, do not hesitate to open an issue at: https://github.com/OpenMindNL/LEDitor/issues

The user's pleasure is my reward. People who like to show some extra gratitude can buy me a coffee.

Brainwaves that still need to be converted to code:

• Make it possible to use animations as (semi?) screensavers.
• Add flow cards to use individual leds as status indicators, for example to indicate whether certain people or pets are present.
• Add flow cards to select a random animation and/or sequence of animations. Preferably with some in-card settings.
• Combine one or more animations to one. Needs some thinking about settings for stretching to an equal amount of frames, mixing several colors to one etc.
• Special generator with sweeping lines, sine waves, blinking leds and more party stuff.
• Dummy-TV function to mislead potential burglars, with random selected 'movie light' effects like passing cars by night, zooming and panning colors, incidental flashes, lightning, explosions etc.

What happened so far...

v1.0.0

• New: LEDitor resizes with the browser window. The largest possible square area is assigned to the LED ring / editors on the right. The remaining screen part is used for the frame list, with a minimum width being taken into account.
• New: Display type selection for the frame list: Color view, LED view or Ring view.
• New: Randomizer. Changes hue, saturation, brightness and position of active LEDs randomly. The changes are adjustable from very subtle to fully chaotic.
• Optimized: More realistic neighboring color mix for onscreen LED Ring display.
• Optimized: Animation name will be set accordingly when using a animation generator, or when importing frames and colors from an image.
• Optimized Image-import section:
  • 'View' selection for the imported frames. The 'Ring view' option is a huge help to instantly see how the colors will be displayed on the LED Ring, and to adjust them if necessary.
  • The clicked preview pixel now becomes the view center when the image is zoomed in. Now it's much easier to select a different area without having to zoom out first.
  • Info about the image, zoom and scan area is shown in the mouse tooltip.
• Change: The 'LED Editor' and 'Animation generator' buttons are combined into a popup menu that also contains 'Randomize'.
• Change: The setting for 'Show control information' has been changed to 'Show header and control information', so when you uncheck it you will have maximum screen space for the editor.
• Bug removed: 'Direct select' option (at Color selection) was not stored properly.
• Bug removed: 'Fill empty frames smoothly. Fixed position' with 'HSB 2' gradient could create an invalid animation because of wrong color codes for inactive LEDs.
• Bug removed: 'Fill empty frames smoothly. Variable position' would sometimes add an extra frame, including a wrong gradient. If this resulted in a total of 201 frames, Homey would not play the animation anymore.
• Bug removed: 'Fill empty frames smoothly. Variable position'. When start frame and end frame both had only 1 active LED on exact opposite sides, there was only one flow when there should be two flows in opposite directions.

v0.3.1

• Updated to Homey Apps SDK v2. Homey v1.5.0 or later is required!
• Optimized Undo/Redo to include FPS, VFPS, RPM and the animation name.
• Optimized HSB 1 and HSB 2 fills to show two different gradients when color hues are exactly 180 degrees apart (complementary colors).
• Added gradient type selection (HSB 1, HSB 2, RGB) to the generators.
• Added setting to select a pallet color, a color preference or a standard color with 1 mouse click.
• Added some missing control/help information.
• Various small updates and user interface improvements.

v0.3.0

Completely reworked color display and color selection to provide a more intuitive operation.

• New: LED/light related display of colors.
• New: Palette expanded from 285 to 475 color tones. 19 colors / 25 brightness levels.
• New: Advanced color selection lets you choose any color you like and save 24 as your personal favorites.
• New: Pick the color from one LED and use it for further editing.
• New: Gamma control to match the screen colors to the actual LED Ring colors.
• New: Show frame changes on LED Ring.
• Added option: Choose from 3 different types of gradient fills. HSB 1, HSB 2 or RGB. Previous LEDitor version only had RGB-fill.
• Expanded total number of animations from 30 to 100.
• Removed bug: Fill-buttons were not always enabled when an animation contained inactive LEDs and 'All frames' was checked.
• Removed bug: Frames that were imported from images were processed with unwanted color corrections.
• Various small fixes and user interface updates. The term "Interpolated Frames" has been changed to "Virtual Frames"
• Code optimizing and rewriting.

v0.2.2

• Removed bug: When accessing flow actions before the settings page was visited, LEDitor would crash.
• Straightened a few wrinkles in the user interface.
• Less storage because of removing unnecessary images from install.

v0.2.1

• Removed bug: Internal color vector was not updated after selecting a color for the generator and returning to the editor. This made the generator trigger whenever color changes for the editor were expected.
• Removed bug: On-screen LED ring display did not update anymore with Solid Fill or Gradient Fill buttons.
• Removed bug: Frame counter did not update with Undo or Redo.
• Updated 'Save LEDitor animation' window.
• Added missing translations and help texts.
• Small fixes / changes.

v0.2.0

• Added the ability to save and (re)load animations, which allows for back-ups and exchange with other users.
• Included a generator which produces all the patterns from the "LED-ring collection" with user definable colors and settings.
• Included two different ways to smoothly fill empty/inactive frames in animations.
• Included an option to apply rotate and fill actions to all frames at once.
• Reorganized the user interface a little.
• Small fixes.

v0.1.2

• Removed bug: Adding a new frame would clear recently created frames.
• Removed bug: An animation would not always play correct on-screen immediately after being edited.
• Removed bug: In particular situations, when opening an image was canceled, the user-interface could become unresponsive.
• Code optimized.

v0.1.1

• Removed bug: Moving a frame up/down and then use undo would result in two corrupted frames and render the animation unusable.
• Removed bug: When moving a frame up/down, it now stays selected.
• Removed some useless code

v0.1.0

• First beta release
