The EnlightMe app needs the RaspberryPi EnlightMe Server to work! Please go to www.enlightme.app for instructions on how to setup the server. In combination with the EnlightMe Server you can control your Nuki smartlock, LimitlessLED/Milight LED lights, Elro power switches and even an iRobot Roomba if you have the RooWifi add-on. You can setup a schedule for switching devices on/off based on specific time, sunrise/sundown or presence/absence detection based on a FritzBox router.

About

MeshView

Read full description

MeshView is a professional-grade Offline-First 3D model visualizer, AR projection tool, and immersive stereoscopic Cardboard VR browser designed specifically for 3D artists, industrial designers, CAD mechanical engineers, and stereoscopic rendering enthusiasts. We believe your professional blueprints, industrial designs, and creative assets should remain entirely yours. MeshView operates on a strict Zero-Server architectureβ€”meaning all file importing, polygon rendering, real-time material swapping, gyroscope head-tracking, and USDZ conversions are processed 100% locally inside your device’s sandboxed private memory. No uploads, no account registration, and zero data leakage. [KEY FEATURES] Robust Offline Formats Compatibility: Seamlessly load .obj (with material properties), .stl (standard industrial CAD meshes), .ply (point clouds/polygon assets), and Apple's native .usdz formats. Harness local GPU capabilities and optimized ModelIO engines to load hundreds of thousands of polygons in seconds without lag. Professional Interactive 3D Viewport: Highly responsive touch gestures for smooth single-finger rotation, two-finger scaling, and panoramic camera panning. Tweak surface materials with a single tap: apply polished chrome, brushed gold, carbon fiber, matte polymer, sci-fi wireframe mesh, or refractive glass. Switch between diverse ambient lighting presets such as "Studio Spotlight", "Sunny Beach", "Neon Cyberpunk", or "Deep Space Shadow" to examine micro-reflections. Cardboard Gyroscope-Tracked VR Mode: True stereoscopic dual-eye split-screen rendering view. Integrated directly with iOS Motion Sensors (Gyroscope & Accelerometer) at 60Hz low latency to track your head movements. Slip your device into any standard VR goggles (e.g. Google Cardboard) for a hands-free, high-fidelity 3D structural tour and immersive spatial inspections. Horizontal AR Surface Projection: Instantly compile universal OBJ/STL/PLY files into native standard Apple USDZ format entirely offline. Summon horizontal surface plane anchoring via native ARKit technology. Cast your models into the real world at an accurate 1:1 scale with realistic shadows. Absolute Enterprise-Grade Privacy Protection: Zero account registration required. Zero tracking cookies. MeshView contains NO third-party analytical SDKs or mobile ads libraries. Works perfectly without an internet connection, ensuring absolute protection against commercial industrial design espionage. Complete Local Data Sovereignty: Empowered with advanced storage maintenance tools in Settings. You can clear your storage clutter immediately ("Delete All Models") or restore high-definition factory spurs and planetary gear blueprints ("Restore Built-in Models") instantly.
