This app is fantastic! Just discovered the ‘Hold- and Release Display’ cards. In combination with ‘Fill Screen with ’ I can now switch pictures without seeing the build-up process. Strangely enough if I use ‘Clear Screen’ (in stead of ‘Fill Screen with Black’) it cancels the Hold Display. Is there a reason for that DJP?
Feature request: Adjusting the screen brightness
Is it possible?
I’d like to adjust the display brightness based on the ambient light.
Bright ambient light = Bright display
Dim ambient light = Dim display
The Clear Screen was added before Iimplementation of the Hold and Release so it ignores it. I’ll put a fix for that in the backlog.
Yes that should be possible, I’ll add that in the backlog. Should be done next week as I’m currently away.
To be honest, I haven’t really looked into creating my own display yet, because it sounds and looks very complicated to me, even though you explained it in detail.
Will test it and let you know. Thx ![]()
Thanks! Will give it a try tonight. Edit: It works
Thanks!
Great ! Don’t hesitate if you have any issue or request ![]()
I’ll keep the build in test for a week, if it’s fine I’ll push it to public.
I can also confirm that brightness adjustment works as expected. Thanks @DJP!
The flow became a bit messy
Tags disappear sometimes if not used in the script, so you also need to use the error outputs and soon it gets a bit hysterical in the line-department.
But then I found that in HomeyScript you can use AND and THEN cards in Text as well! So I changed all tags into internal variables and figured out the exact syntax of the Pixoo THEN cards.
It even shows the used colors in cute little squares
! It’s also not slower than flow cards.
Now only this is visible for the whole Pixoo control:
It was a fun little project again to start the weekend ![]()
