Shades Lamp is the companion app for your Shades LED lamp. Connect over Bluetooth and turn the lamp into living light: pick an effect, tune it in real time, save the looks you love and let the lamp cycle through them on its own. FEATURES • Marketplace — browse a growing catalog of light effects and install them on the lamp in a couple of taps • Live parameters — adjust colors, speed and other settings and see the result on the lamp instantly • Favorites — save the exact look you like as a snapshot and return to it later • Playlists — combine saved looks into playlists; the lamp rotates them by itself, even when your phone is away • Global brightness — one slider for the whole lamp • Device settings — rename the lamp, check storage, update firmware over Bluetooth • Works offline — your library and settings stay viewable when the lamp is out of range • Localized — English and Russian, following your system language REQUIREMENTS The app requires a Shades LED lamp running WasmLED firmware. Light programs are written in C and compiled to WebAssembly; new effects keep arriving in the catalog. No accounts, no tracking, no cloud: everything is stored on your phone and on the lamp.
