MagicHome v1.1.0

Adds a short demo mode.

Run Demo

A Run Demo button in the Configure dialog with a light picker, and a Run Demo item in the plugin's menu that does every light you have.

It runs red, green and blue one at a time, then warm white, then cool white, then a five second fade — and puts the light back exactly as it was. About fifteen seconds.

The order is chosen for what is actually worth seeing:

• The colour channels one at a time is how a strip wired in a different channel order gives itself away. If red comes up green, that is the wiring, and you know inside five seconds.
• Both whites, one after the other, is how the warm-versus-cool business stops being a surprise. An RGBW controller has one white channel and it is the warm one; "cool white" is red, green and blue together. Seeing them back to back explains it better than any amount of documentation.

It stops the moment any command arrives for that light, so you can cut it short by touching the brightness slider. A light that was off is only put back off if the demo reached the end — one stopped half way was stopped by somebody who wanted the light on.

Installing

1. Download MagicHome.indigoPlugin.zip below
2. Unzip it — you will get MagicHome.indigoPlugin
3. Double-click it, and Indigo will install it

If the Run Demo button does not appear, restart the Indigo client. It caches plugin dialog definitions, so a new field in a Configure dialog is not always picked up until it does.

Everything else is unchanged. See the README and the documentation.
