Interaction with Thorium

[TimPietrusky]

Right now we can use luminave-thorium / luminave-server to interact with Thorium.

• [x] Documentation to explain how the following use cases work
• [x] Dynamic animation (#99)
• [x] Dynamic scenes

One light can only display one color

In one simulator there are three different types of light: Red, Blue & White. These lights can only display the specified light. When ever Thorium sends a color, we have to know which light should be turned on:

• Create a scene for every light
• Add the fixtures that represent that light to the scene
• Trigger that scene in luminave-thorium using the luminave-server API
• In order to also react animations triggered in Thorium (for example fade out), we have to add dynamic animations #99 & an infinite timeline #61

Example

• Color is set to red
• Activate the scene scene-red
• It has the fixtures fixture-1-red & fixture-2-red attachted
• When this scene is triggered by luminave-thorium, all red lights are turned on

RGB lights that can display every color

In new simulators we can have RGB compatible lights that can display any color. When ever Thoriumd sends a color, we can handle it like this:

• Create a scene for all the lights
• Add all fixtures to that scene
• Trigger that scene in luminave-thorium using the luminave-server API
• In order to also react animations triggered in Thorium (for example fade out), we have to add dynamic animations #99 & an infinite timeline #61

Example

• Color is blue
• Activate the scene scene-rgb
• It has all fixtures added to it
• When the scene is triggered by luminave-thorium, all the lights are turned and display blue (or any other color)

The integration is done, if something is not working, please open a new issue.
