Toon App: Twinkly lights
Posted: Sun Jan 05, 2020 11:16 pm
Hi all,
I just published in ToonStore the initial release 1.0.2 of a new app to control your Twinkly Christmas decoration lights.
With this second release you can switch the lights on and off, use a timer function and create the first two lightshow effects.
The apps contains one tile. At first use, clicking on the tile will bring you to the configuration screen to enter the ip-address/hostname of your Twinkly lights.
Once configured, the lights can be switched on and off by clicking on the light bulb on the tile.
Clicking next to the light bulb opens the main screen with more functionality like starting the timer, access the favourites (previously created effects) and create new effects.
Comments on this release:
- when the twinkly lights are first configured, the name of the twinkly lights is not yet shown on the configuration screen,
Entering the configuration screen a second time will show the correct name of the Twinkly, you can also give it your own name here.
- for now the menu and tray icons are the same as the domoticz application. Over time new icons will be created for this app.
- some gui elements needs to be better exactly positioned on a Toon 1 but that doesn't limit the functionality.
Future items to add:
- include some 'movies' from the official Twinkly app
- implement more light effects (proposals are welcome)
- support for multiple strings of Twinkly lights, thinking of buying a 'Twinkly curtain' to be able to show scrolling texts
- ..
Happy to hear your views what an app like this should be capable of.
N.B. I am not affiliated in any way, shape or form with the Twinkly company. Their lights are just a lot of fun.
I started this app because it allows the whole family to control the lights from Toon instead of having to use the Twinkly app on your phone/ipad
