Sleep / Pause Feature Request #134

Open treydempsey opened 3 years ago

treydempsey commented 3 years ago

I have a setup with hyperion running displaying to a WLED controlled led strip. I want to be able to use LedFx instead. Currently I'm running them both as services with systemd and stopping one to start the other.

It would be nice if i could somehow "sleep" or "pause" LedFx, where it would:

  1. Stop sending data to the WLED strip
  2. Release the audio device

I'm willing to implement this myself and submit a PR, but I wanted to get your feedback first. Thoughts?

I would personally like to have all the effects that WLED offers and implement it into LedFx. Maybe separate sound-reactive effects versus non-reactive effects.

Are you suggesting an option/slider for LedFx that implements sleep/pause I can foresee some delay in unpausing using DMX? I would suggest end-users using WLED as UDP mode rather than DMX mode.

On another note, I thought a good idea was the ability to scan the network and auto-add WLED devices via the WLED API - which contains the device name, number of LEDs, etc.

Recommend sharing your idea to LedFx https://discord.com/invite/wJ755dY #feature-suggestions
