Nightlight controls
Open http://192.168.4.1 while connected to the device, then choose Nightlight.
Load a preset or choose your own controls. The animated preview changes locally;
Save nightlight applies the settings to the matrix and saves them across resets.
Motion speed controls how quickly shapes move. Color cycle controls how slowly
the palette travels through its colors. A long color cycle no longer makes a
comet or ripple take two minutes to move. Soft spectrum and two-color transition
use only the color cycle; solid and warm white do not animate.

There are 22 modes. Strobe and Dim & brighten have an independent Effect cycle
from 0.2 to 60 seconds. Minimum brightness sets the dimmest level as a percentage
of your main brightness setting; choose zero for full darkness. Strobe on-time
sets how much of each cycle stays bright, from 5% to 90%. The color cycle and
palette remain independent. Strobe is opt-in; startup uses the gentle spectrum.
Palettes are Spectrum / mode colors, My two colors, Sunset, Ice, Forest, and
Candy. Fire and Ocean have their own colors when the first palette is selected.
Solid, Breathe and Comet use your primary color; Two-color transition and Lava
use your two colors. Spectrum saturation affects the spectrum palette.
Reverse animation direction reverses motion and the color cycle. The ten
presets provide starting points; loading one does not change the LEDs until
you save. Brightness and the matrix current budget still apply to every mode.
The preview approximates the appearance; it cannot measure wiring, LED color
calibration or power limiting. Its animation can be paused independently, and
starts paused when the browser requests reduced motion.
Detection remains active while a nightlight pattern runs or the nightlight is
off. Enabled alerts temporarily replace the pattern, then the nightlight
resumes. Default alerts are ten red flashes for deauth floods and ten blue flashes
for Bluetooth pairing floods, each followed by a 30-second cooldown. Strong Axon
candidates maintain red/blue police lights until 15 seconds pass without qualifying
observations. Each can be customized in Alert rules. The buzzer remains optional
and disabled until enabled globally and on the desired rule.
