[APP][Pro] LED-Ring collection (Not compatible with Homey Pro 2023)

Hey @Qx5
I like that idea. But maybe it will fit better in the LedItBe app.
I also maintain that one. Will check! :smiley:

Awesome! Let me know if I can help by testing or something else :slight_smile:

New app update (test: 3.0.0):

  • BREAK: update to Homey SDK 3

This will update the LED-Ring collection app to Homey SDK 3. This prevents the app from being hidden in the app store from 01-01-2023.

However this will not mean that this app is available for the new Homey Pro 2023.
Unfortunately the ledring of the new Homey Pro 2023 is not configurable.

This app will stay and will be available only for the White Homey ball.

Great Martijn!

Then people kan still use it on the Satellite Homeys!

Is there any change i can alter the sourceode when you are done, add some api calls to is, so i can use it directly from the Himiny (temp name) Controller?

Hey @Arie_J_Godschalk ,
Yeah sure. Would be nice :slight_smile:

Let me know if you need something or we discuss on slack :wink:

@Arie_J_Godschalk I’ll update this soon too. So might be interesting as well :slight_smile:[APP][PRO] - Led It Be

Good to know.
I don’t use it myself currently and i want to test with LED-ring (since i know how it works) what the easiest way is to start stuff from the Controller device.

After that, ill see which apps can be included to make it real easy to configure 7 or 8 WhiteBalls at the same time.

I just logged into slack :wink:

But just so you know:
Phase one of the App(s) is very simpel: It allowes for flows on the Satellites, to be started straigt from a flow from the Controller.

Meaning: As long as Apps work an the “White Balls” after 1 jan '23, people can use it and start it from there Controller (main/new Homey).

Ofcourse, this means, that you have to copy/paste al flows on the Satellites (which can be easily done with TFE), so a later phase will be to try to minimize the need for setting up flows on the satellites and creating as many as possible direct flowcards to be configurated only on the Controller.

So for that last part you need actual access to the apps on other Homeys I guess?

That would be possible via the web api ?

I think for ledring collection it would be really nice if you can have a set screensaver flowcard on the new Homey which actually sets the screensaver on the old Homey.

If that doesn’t work i can make some special functions for it :slight_smile:

Indeed and yes, that would be lovely!

Yeah, i guess so, i right now have a custom-secured connection between the two Homeys, and they can/could share the tokens to connect with the satellite, giving full Apps API access.

But like i sayed, first i’ll make it fully dynamic (and not-extrem user friendly), then i’ll work (hopefully with conjunction with others) to improve the UI/UX for easy controlling.
(Like the abbility to add buttons to there Homini Devices on there controller, so flows or other actions kan be started directly from the Device-tabs).

New app update (live: 3.1.3):

This will add api calls to the ledring app to call it from another app.

Developer info:

 this.ledRingApi = this.homey.api.getApiApp('openmindnl.ledcollection');
  
//getting all available screensavers:
const getScreensavers = await this.ledRingApi.get('/screensavers');

// Set a screensaver by ID. (ID's can be fetched from call above)
 const setScreensaver = await this.ledRingApi.post(`/screensaver/${sceensaverID}`);

New app update (live: 3.1.5):

  • FIX: Set compatibility for Homey 2023 (prevent app crash)

Note this only prevents the app from crashing on a Homey 2023. The app will NOT function due to the lack of LEDring support on the new Homey

Hi, in Homey for 2023, the paterns from the Led Ring Collection app are not showing up in the flow. Is the app for Homey for early 2023 fully supported? Otherwise great work!!! Thanks Ivo

Hi @Ivo_Kapalin
No this app is not supported for Homey 2023

Athom removed all ledring support. Unfortunately theres no way to block this app from install on a Homey 2023 :frowning:

Can you make possible to change LED color on Homey Bridge when it is used as a satellite for Homey Pro 2023?

That’s not entirely true any more… On the LED ring Knowledge Base page: “Next to the animations listed, any Flow can also show an animation for a short period of time.”
I came here because one of my most useful flows used to set the color based on electricity prices, but after migration I could only get it to work for a second or two, not 60 minutes like I used to. I guess I will have to make a loop in a flow that runs the animate card every few seconds for an hour.

@KarlO thats default Homey behaviour. Not part of this or any other app

Thanks, the max duration is 10 seconds.
I was able to get my electricity price indicator to work again, by using a looped flow - via Countdown Timer. So I run the animation with my selected color every 10 seconds, with a duration of 10 seconds.
