## What is Tradfri Disco for TRÅDFRI?

**** PLEASE TAKE NOTE
This app requires the IKEA® TRÅFRI Gateway to function.
****

TRÅDFRI Disco! An amazing controller for your IKEA® TRÅDFRI connected house or business. Use your TRÅDFRI connected restaurant as a party location.

TRÅDFRI Disco does it all with your  IKEA® TRÅDFRI  setup. The Mood function changes your Hue Lights within a themed colorset at your chosen time interval over and over again. Perfect for warming up your party or any other occasion. 
Just perfect.

The stock IKEA® TRÅFRI app let’s you choose between just 20 colors. TRÅFRI Disco gives you the whole spectrum available on the system.
Because we connect direct, there is virtually no delay between the command and the light response like HomeKit.

TRÅDFRI Disco is the best in recognizing your favorite music through the microphone. Even at low volume levels changes are accurately detected and transformed into a lightshow. It's the only TRÅDFRI App with a real fast Stroboscope! (Strobe)

Some detailed features:


****Audio options****
- Microphone sensitivity sliders let you control how often music is turned into light (change)  and control silence detection. (dB)
- Brightness control sliders manage the maximum and minimum brightness of your disco setup
- Indicators to show when your thresholds are being 'hit' by the music. 
- LED indicator for TEMPO tap button indicating current BPM. 
-> Auto Disco (strobe, transition style)

****Color Control and Custom Color Themes****
- User configurable color themes.
- Color control slider helps you set the saturation of bulbs.
- Color range control
- Transform any image from your library in a color theme.

****Strobe****
- New Color Strobe.
- Rainbow Strobe.
- Classic White Strobe
- Custom Color Strobe 
- Strobe your own Custom Color theme

-> Smooth, Snap or Mix Transition. For selecting soft or crazy wild fast transition. Warning for the epileptic! 


- Mood Tab. Control any mood with these new great features: 
-> Select transition/cycle time between selected lights from 1 second to 10 minutes! 
-> Choose a theme or select a color range 
-> Create your own color theme
-> Choose to change all bulbs to the same color 
-> Or never change to the same color 
-> Or sometimes 
-> Or Frequent 
-> Shake for random setting within current theme (option) 
-> Overall Mood Brightness Control 
-> Overall Mood Color Intensity Control 
-> Sleeptimer for Mood mode 


TRÅDFRI Disco listens to an external sound source. It supports running in the background!
- It’s possible to use hue disco while playing audio with any other app through: 
- Bluetooth
- Airplay
- the internal speaker 
- a connected dock with audio features 
- a device connected through the headphone jack 


Warning: To use TRÅDFRI Disco you must own or have access to a IKEA® TRÅDFRI Gateway with at least one controlled bulb. Obviously best to have color capable lights. Don't buy this App if you do not know what IKEA® TRÅDFRI is. See https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00337813/ for more information.
