The user interface for Prometheus can be accessed by going to [IP.OF.PI]:3000. For example, if the IP of your Pi was 111.111.111, you would go to 111.111.111:3000 (after you of course install and start the Prometheus program on your Raspberry Pi). To get the IP, do ifconfig, and look at the numbers located at the wlan0 section.

UI

The above information is also located in the About tab of the front-end UI.

In Settings, there are a few notable setting options you can change.

First of all, under Alarm Sound, you can easily change the sound played by Prometheus by uploading a new file. This is done asynchronously (all you have to do is click "Choose File", select a file, then the file will automatically upload and replace the old sound file on the Raspberry Pi, and Prometheus will play this file next time sound is set to run.

Enable IP Change Email Notifications is for people who are on enterprise networks that regularly change the IP address of your Raspberry Pi. I personally am using a noIP based solution. But if you turn this option on, as well as provide an email address, Prometheus will email you whenever it detects a change in the Raspberry Pi's IP address (so you don't have to start up a physical session with mouse/keyboard and screen just to see what the new IP is).

The LED settings changes allows the user to change the color the LED's on the clock.

the "Use Custom Sound Card" option will change the cvlc command to use the custom sound card interface rather than the default TRS sound profile.
