Animation And App Glossary

Modes:

  • Auto: a pre-curated selection of lighting animations
  • Scene: Pick between 5 different lighting scenes, schedule them to switch throughout your day. You can customize each scene by tapping the wrench icon.
  • Manual: Fully custom control of the Device Display. Go into the “Control Panel” for full controls.

Master Controls:

  • Brightness: The brightness level of the Device. 0% is off, 100% is full brightness
  • Hue: The color of the Monos. For some animations, the hue controls the base color only.
  • Saturation: The intensity of the hue. 0% (all the way to the left) means no hue, and animations will display without color, and be fully white. 100% (all the way to the right) means full color, without any white whatsoever.

Animations:

Animations can be accessed from either the “Control Panel” in Manual Mode, or by pressing the Wrench Icon on any of the scenes in Scene Mode.

* Please note: Some animations only available for specific products.

  • Twinkle: Individual LEDs turn on/off slowly like stars, twinkling.
  • Leaf Swirl: Light swirls around each leaf
  • Mirage: An everchanging bubbling-lava lamp style animation. 
  • Lamp: Makes Device into a normal lamp! Tune the warmth to get a cool to warm white from 2100K to 6000K.
  • Hues: Each device face lights up a different hue
  • Snakes: An animation that mimics twin snakes moving through the canvas of the device.
  • SolidColor: Device lights up a solid color, without any animations.
  • Sweep: Light moves from bottom to top in a sweeping manner.
  • Rainbow: A rainbow lighting gradient moves through the canvas of the device.
  • Rainbow Swirl: A swirling rainbow lighting gradient moves through the canvas of the device.
  • Pulse: Devices lowly turns on and off. 
  • Hue Cycle: SolidColor that cycles between all the colors in the rainbow.
  • More animations will be released on a regular basis!
  • Leaf Fade: Individual Leafs turn on/off slowly
  • LeafEQ: Audio Reactive Animation, has the plant glow from the bottom up depending on audio levels.
  • StemEQ: Audio Reactive Animation, has individual stems flash depending on audio levels
  • BoomClap: Audio Reactive Animation, has one half of the leaf driven by bass frequencies, the other half driven by treble frequencies.
  • HueEQ: Audio Reactive Animation, has all leafs lit, and color changes are driven by different audio levels

Effects:

  • Size: The overall size of the animation. This can differ from animation to animation, for some this could mean the width or height of the animation. 
  • Speed: The overall speed the animation moves at.
  • Density: Similar to size, the higher this effect, the more “dense” the animation will become.
  • Attack: How quickly the animation turns the LEDs on.
  • Decay: How quickly the animation turns the LEDs off.
  • Color: How much color variance is in the animation. A low color effect means the animation is just the base hue, whereas a high color effect means the animation will display a wider variety of colors.
  • Scale: Similar to density and size.
  • Length: Similar to size.
  • Frequency: How fast the animation oscillates
  • Amplitude: The maximum intensity of the animation
  • Thickness: Similar to density 
  • Blend: Set how much you want the animation to blend colors together
  • Direction: Set the direction the light shines
  • Warmth (lamp): The color temperature of the lighting
  • Warmth (mirage): Applies a blue-light filter to the image, an optional eye strain reduction that also makes the bulbs look a little more retro since blue LEDs weren't around until 1993!

Audio Reactivity:

  • Gain: How sensitive the microphone is to audio levels. A higher gain will result in increased sensitivity and amount of light produced by Fluora.
  • Threshold: This adjusts the level at which the audio volume starts to effect the animation.

In Device Settings, under "Show Advanced Features":

  • Attack: How fast the light will turn on - related to the audio loudness levels
  • Release: How fast the light will turn off - related to the audio loudness levels
