I bought a LED lamp SSG-500 with MELK-OA10 controller. Turned out the controller limits the lamp to the 213 predefined lighting regimes. Sounds like a lot but in fact most of them are bs 🥲
I would be able to live with the limited collection of modes but particularly one thing about it triggered me — there were dozens of multicolor dynamic modes but no static ones (HOW a producer hasn't thought about it?). So I built my own app with extra functionality that I did not found anywhere else.
Problem: there is no lighting regime with static multiple colors at the same time (you can either choose one static color for the whole lamp, or multiple colors but flowing, blinking and running through the lamp).
Firstly I thought "well, maybe I did not find them" — but I checked many apps and then cross-checked through different AIs. And there are literally no apps out there allowing to choose colors of the static lights or modify regimes anyhow. Every dev just copy pasted previous solution which is limited to 213 modes from the controller developer.
That's understandable because that's how the controller is built. Not much can be done from the software standpoint. But I found somewhat acceptable solution.
Solution: with ChatGPT I found a way to pause existing dynamic regimes and even create presets through a replay.
So with this app you can:
- pause any dynamic regime at any point — that gives a static light with different colors combinations (tho only from the predefined dynamic ones)
- save that paused regime moment as a preset — that allows not to try catching that exact moment you liked — it automatically turns on that moment for you from the preset.
Hope it saves you some nerve cells and a couple hours of your life.
