SETTINGS

The second item on the tab bar is settings. Here you customize the behaviour of Huelloween and configure your Philips motion sensors.

8

  • Auto Play delay: Set a time range for Auto-Play. When started this will randomly choose a delay between the effects (favorites) within this range.  
  • Mood volume: adjust the volume of the mood sounds
  • Effects brightness: Adjust the brightness of all moods and effects. Controls how bright your bulbs will be at their maximum level..
  • Motion sensors: a list of your available sensors. Press the arrow on the right of the motion sensor to set the action you want to be triggered when (no) motion is detected. Set the switch to on/off.

9

There are four different settings you can choose when (no) motion is detected.

  • Start auto play: whenever (no) motion is detected auto play will start playing all effects chosen in favorites.
  • Stop auto play: whenever (no) motion is detected auto play will stop.
  • Start random mood: whenever (no) motion is detected random mood starts. Only the moods chosen in favorites
  • Stop random mood: whenever (no) motion is detected random mood stops.

You can choose several options. An example: When motion is detected random mood will start and so will auto play. And after a while when there is no motion detected, auto play will stop. Mood will continue.

Note! Not every combination can be made. When motion is detected it will be impossible to start and stop the same command at the same time. The switches will change when a conflicting choice has been made.

LIGHTS

The Light screen shows all your lights registered in your Hue Bridge. Select them by tapping their names or the switch. Selected active lights can be identified by tapping the name of the light and the actual light will blink when selected to help identify it. Lights selected here will be used to scare out people. The ones not selected will not be touched by Huelloween (also not turned off). Use the select all / select none buttons as needed.
