Admin console

Note, each Lumatron piece in code is called an "orb" (for legacy reasons related the former name, Super Orbitron).

"Orb" list (right side)

The right side features a list of all orbs connected to the relay (or local relay if using ?local). This list gets checked every 10 seconds.

Functions (left side)

Editing "orb" local files

There are 3 files that can be edited directly by clicking on the corresponding button and either typing ctrl-s or hitting the corresponding "Save [X]" button (which will restart the corresponding orb).

• config: this is the most important one. It lets you change the fundamentals of the orb. Check config.js.template in the repo root for examples.
  • When in this view there are "Generate ORB_ID" and "Set ORB_KEY" buttons visible. These edit the scratch config.js in the center, but you still need to save for them to take any effect.
• prefs: the prefs.json that controls the idle patterns, same as is manipulated by a controller.
• timing: the timingprefs.json that saves all other pref values, including dim state.

Other commands

• Issue commands: a cheap ssh-like capability I added to be able to handle edge cases
  • Unlock Orb: resets the pi's password to "lumatron"
• All Backups: allows you to restore any orb from backup (saved by each orb at midnight), or force a manual save now with a custom name.
• Power Calibration: used to figure out the max power of an orb; used when in sight of the orb being calibrated
• Restart: self-explanatory
• Controller: opens the controller for this orb in a new tab (even if not connected to the same wifi)
