stringandstickytape / maxlights Goto Github PK

Hi,
I was happy to find this app after trying MaxLifx years ago and not being able to successfully find my lights on my network. This new and improved version does find lights (though not all of them ever at the same time for some reason -- but I have a feeling it's the bulbs that are at fault here).

One thing that is confusing me is that I can't seem to find any screen capture option in the context menu, or anywhere else for that matter. Am I missing something or is this a bug?
Thanks!

When using hardware support, the following errors pop up on start. Using MaxLights 0.8 on Windows 10 fully updated. I have a Corsair K63 Keyboard.

When trying to save my diagram with Screen Capture in the Web UI the MaxLights app force closes without saving the diagram. This has been attempted on multiple lights (Lifx A9 and Lifx Lightstrip 120")

Hi (:

For the first steps with MaxLights i did manually add 2 x WLED devices (1 x ESP8266, 1 x ESP32) and double checked their UDP-Port values. The Hardware Support is disabled due to issue #1. OS is Windows 11 23H2.

Beside of adding the hardware i seem to not push the correct buttons to get the software working... Web-UI Port is set to 8080. Using the Launch Web UI button brings me to a yellowish website (url = http://localhost:8080/toggle) showing the following content:

Access Error: 404 -- Not Found
Cannot open document for: /toggle

I might have overseen an important thing/setting?

I noticed some of the colours are a little bit off when using a LIFX z strip and screen capture. For example, the browns are more pink, and the dark blues are a little purple. Thought this could be to do with the kelvin part of the LIFX z color range. Is there any way to adjust the kelvin range?
