Create app-like effects

[Djelibeybi]

It would be super peachy keen if Interactor could run app-like effects (like Pastel, Animate, Flicker, etc) across multiple devices that don't have their own internal firmware effects.

That would be nice. It's unlikely I'll find time for that any time soon, and it'd be a lot easier to add when I've finished my tile animation rewrite, release next version of photons, and then clean up interactor and put it in the photons repo. In the meantime, the animations themselves would have to be written as well. Currently I only have a version of flicker https://github.com/delfick/photons-core/blob/master/examples/flicker

Right. I figured it needed the new animation rewrite as a base. The ability to send a "stream" of commands where Photons is capable of waiting for the first command to finish prior to actioning the second is required for this, and the issue I logged to turn a device on, transform and off again in a single task too.

With my latest round of changes that becomes more true, because I've made the canvas able to understand more than just tiles and create messages for you. Before those changes that was less the case :)

But feel free to try and think of how the animations could behave if you were able to make the most of tile and strip zones.

Implemented via #32

tile animations are part of it, but they only apply to tiles and don't do things like flicker

Fair point. :) Issue reopened.

Hi, just wanted to comment on this thread to see if there has been any activity on adding Flicker to Photons. It's about Halloween time and I was hoping to use my bulbs to flicker some orange colors using Photons. No worries if not, just figured I'd revive the thread!

[delfick]

nah, I've barely done anything on photons for over a year. Only flicker thing remains the script I mention at the top of this issue, which does work reasonably well.

seems that link doesn't work, it lives here now https://github.com/delfick/photons/blob/main/examples/flicker
