    @jorden, very cool! Now only paint Homey black, like the other topic! And get the leds turn left to right, right to ledt, like KITT!

    It looks like the original Rainbow is the default after reboot.
    Switching back is no problem, changing the default would be nice(no idea if its possible)
    I just had to unplug my homey because it froze... 
    After the reboot it automatically went back to the red slow sleep.

    @KoenMartens ;
    If set rotations per minute a negative value the ledring change rotation. I don't know if you can do something with this info?

    I found the bug;
    Unplugging Homey results in staying on the user defined screensaver
    Rebooting  Homey results in going back to the system default screensaver

    Yep, I know that, but I can't find a way to change rotation speed or led color mid-screensaver. It seems like, for screensavers, all the information is loaded into memory before the screensavers are animated, which means that nothing can be changed after the screensaver has been started.
    I will look into some more far-fetched options next week though (for example having a flow run every 2 seconds to change direction, maybe that forces re-load settings of screensavers)

    Will you make it possible to change screensaver in flow ? 

    Thanks
    For everyone, it's possible to change screensavers in flow via the HTTP app appearantly:

    I haven't tested it, so I'm not sure which names you should use, but you either need the displayed names or white_sleep/white_slow_sleep/red_sleep/red_slow_sleep/TIFF/faint_rainbow/fainter_rainbow.
  • jordenjorden Member
    Small bug in the code; for every screensaver you do:

    animation_faint_rainbow.register(function(err, result){
    Homey.manager('ledring').registerScreensaver('faint_rainbow', animation_faint_rainbow)
    if( err ) return Homey.error(err);
    animation_white_sleep.on('screensaver_start', function( screensaver_id ){
    Homey.log('Screensaver started')
    })
    animation_white_sleep.on('screensaver_stop', function( screensaver_id ){
    Homey.log('Screensaver stopped')
    })
    })


    The 2x animation_white_sleep should be animation_faint_rainbow. Same happens with the other screensavers.

    Yep I know, fixed that in my own version already, but didn't upload it to github as I was testing with dynamic screensavers which made the code messy.

    Thanks for pointing it out!

    @KoenMartens, ;;

    I Tested it but can't get it to work, only the build in idle modes  rainbow, pulse and off work. (all lowercase, so probably the internal name and not the title/translated display name ) all other put commands result in exact the same http response, but no change at the LED ring. 

    Sorry, To Fast Post....  :/  Open Console and debug yourself ;-)
    Tip
    You have to change two options in the json code:

    Default options: {"uri":"homey:manager:ledring","name":"off","options":{}}   (rainbow, pulse, off)

    Martens Screensaver options: 
    {"uri":"homey:app:martens.screensavers","name":"TIFF","options":{}}
    {"uri":"homey:app:martens.screensavers","name":"red_sleep","options":{}}
    {"uri":"homey:app:martens.screensavers","name":"white_sleep","options":{}}
    etc....

    @Emile,
    is it possible that the API doesn't (yet) accept the custom screensavers? (or because I side-loaded / manual installed the Screensaver App)

    I've created a sort of similar app where Homey plays 2 default animations loading and rotate. The user sets color and duration of the animation.

    For example, if it's going to rain in 15 minutes rotate for 15 minutes in a blue color.

    Great! Do you have a github link for me and everyone else, or is it not ready yet? I'm sure I can learn something from it :)

    It's not really ready, i only have the basic app ready. Will try to finish it this weekend and upload it to github.

    Could be an option to eventually merge the 2 apps together.

    If I run the screensaver with version .35 I get the following message: WARNING: martens.screensavers HAS RECEIVED A CPUWARN
    Can someone tell me if I should not install or just ignore this message?

    I have no increased CPU loads on using this app.
    Im not sure what the warning entails (Ive never seen it before), maybe an athom employee can help us out.

    I get the message when run in the console.

    @HansieNL ;
    Where did you get .35 ???? Did I miss something?
  • MatjaLipuMatjaLipu Member
    .34 added app watchdog. https://firmware.athom.com
    I experience same issue with all apps when doing athom project --run. If you encounter this message only on startup I would say it's safe to ignore it, since app uses resources to bootstrap.

    Noticed this for my app. Glad it's not just me :wink:

    I tried several times a project run. It's not happening always...? I tried also  Athom's Action app from GitHub... same issue.

    Thanx for this app Koen, great stuff. I just created my own screensaver as extra option.

    Just played around some more and made a dutch patriotic screensaver. Too bad it has just been kingsday. The color in the video are a bit over saturated but you get the idea (red, white, blue, orange).

    Not finished enough IMO to submit, not motivated enough to improve on it.
  • DieterKoblenzDieterKoblenz Member
    Pity, I really like it. Havent had problems with it yet.
  • KoenMartensKoenMartens Member
    @DieterKoblenz then by all means keep it installed via project --install

    Ofcourse, I will! 

    Edit: when you feel the motivation to finish it for the store, thumbs up!
