Create a new pattern

Create a new pattern

  • Tap on the + button on the Patterns page, then tap Create Pattern

  • To preview the pattern on your lights, select a zone/s under Preview zones

  • Select an Animation under Pattern Type

    • Color is static, not moving

    • Chase moves the lights from one side of the zone to the other

    • Paint will fill the zone one light at a time until the whole zone is a solid color, then it will start filling the zone with the next color starting from the opposite direction

    • Stacker will send one light across a zone, when it reaches the lights at the end it will 'stack' onto it, once the zone is filled with one color, it will start sending the next color down the line

    • Sequence will display a single color across the entire zone rotating through each color

    • Multi-Paint is like paint, but instead of painting across the whole zone, the zone is split into smaller sections

    • Fireworks will send a white 'charge' across the zone, before it reaches the end the charge will send out colors in an 'explosion' effect

  • Fine-tune your animation by adjusting Speed, Color Transforms, and Effects

    • Speed controls how fast the animation moves, higher speed means a smoother, faster effect

    • Skip skips steps between frames, this makes the effect move faster, but with fewer frames of motion (less smooth)

    • Color Transforms change the way the the pattern moves

      • Repeat duplicates the number of lights per color

      • Progression adds a smooth transition to blend between colors

      • Fade duplicates the number of lights per color, but each added light is darker than the last

      • Fill with Black adds a number of off lights between colors

    • Effects add lightening or twinkle to your pattern

  • Tap Colors to change the colors, press the + button to add colors to your pattern, tap on a color to select it (selected colors are circular), then tap on either a preset color below, or manually choose a color by tapping on Color Wheel, to remove a color, tap a color and then tap on the - button, click and drag a color to rearrange
