Add navigateToCard crosslinks for ha_entity (→ HA source), gradient_map
(→ input value source + gradient entity), and css_extract (→ color strip).
Gradient map test now charts the input interpolation factor instead of
output luminance, making the 0–1 chart meaningful.
WS now sends color RGB data for color-type streams. Test modal renders
a color history swatch strip below the chart, colors the chart line and
fill area with the current output color, and shows rgb() in the stats.
Works for static_color, animated_color, and adaptive_time_color sources.
- WS sends raw_value and raw_range for HA entity streams
- Canvas draws right-side Y-axis labels: configured min/max range
and current raw HA value (green, positioned at correct Y)
- Replace plain <select> for scene behavior with IconSelect (moon/sun)
New value source types:
- ha_entity: reads numeric values from HA entity state/attribute, normalizes
via min/max range, applies EMA smoothing. EntitySelect for HA connection
and entity selection with live entity list fetching.
- gradient_map: maps a float value source (0-1) through a gradient entity.
EntitySelect for both input source and gradient with inline previews.
- css_extract: extracts single color by averaging LED range from a color
strip source. EntitySelect for source selection.
Value source type picker:
- Filter tabs (All / Numeric / Color) above the icon grid
- showTypePicker extended with filterTabs + onFilterChange support
Palette selectors converted to EntitySelect:
- Effect palette, gradient preset, and audio palette selectors now use
command-palette style EntitySelect with gradient strip previews
Tab indicator fixes:
- Icon now updates on tab switch (was passing no args to updateTabIndicator)
- Visible with any background effect active, not just Noise Field
- Noise Field is the default background effect for new users
Dashboard section collapse fix:
- Split header into clickable toggle (chevron+label) and non-clickable
actions area — buttons no longer trigger collapse/expand
Discriminated union fix (422 errors):
- source_type/target_type now always included in update payloads for:
CSS editor, LED target, HA light target, simple calibration,
advanced calibration
BetterCam (DXGI) only supports one capture session per display, so creating
a second engine for the KC test produced no frames when a target was already
running. Now uses LiveStreamManager.acquire() which ref-counts and reuses
the running capture.
Also removed double postprocessing — ProcessedLiveStream already applies
filters, so re-applying them in the KC test halved the resolution (960x400
→ 240x100).
Introduce BindableFloat abstraction that allows any numeric property to be
either a static value or dynamically driven by a ValueSource. Backward-compatible
serialization: plain float when unbound, {value, source_id} dict when bound.
Backend:
- storage/bindable.py — BindableFloat dataclass + bfloat() helper
- 25+ scalar properties converted across all entity types
- Runtime VS acquisition in ColorStripStreamManager for CSS bindings
- All stream hot loops use self.resolve() for live values
- KeyColorsColorStripStream now inherits ColorStripStream
Frontend:
- BindableScalarWidget (slider + VS picker toggle) for all editors
- TypeScript BindableFloat type + helpers
- Graph editor edges for all bindable properties
- Audio source channel IconSelect grid

- Fix transition=0 not saving (parseFloat("0") || 0.5 was falsy)
- Fix dashboard showing "Key Colors" for HA targets — now "Home Assistant"
- Fix dashboard FPS showing 0/2 — HA targets show target/target
- Add CSS source subtitle to HA target dashboard cards
Key Colors refactor:
- New `key_colors` CSS source type with inline rectangles
- KeyColorsColorStripStream: extracts N colors from screen regions
- CSS editor: EntitySelect for picture source, IconSelect for color mode
- Configure Regions button on card opens pattern canvas editor
- Live WS preview at 5 FPS with rectangle overlay + color swatches
- Removed KC target type, pattern template entity, and related API routes
- Removed KC/pattern template sections from Targets tab
HA light target improvements:
- Update rate, transition, mappings, brightness VS now editable via PUT
- Card crosslinks for HA source, CSS source, brightness VS
- HA connection status icon, text metrics (Hz, uptime)
- Brightness value source selector in editor
New output target type `ha_light` that sends averaged LED colors to HA
light entities via WebSocket service calls (light.turn_on/turn_off):
Backend:
- HARuntime.call_service(): fire-and-forget WS service calls
- HALightOutputTarget: data model with light mappings, update rate, transition
- HALightTargetProcessor: processing loop with delta detection, rate limiting
- ProcessorManager.add_ha_light_target(): registration

- Frontend: HA Sources tab in Streams, condition type in automation editor
- Modal editor with host, token, SSL, entity filters
- websockets>=13.0 dependency added
- Dismissible donation/open-source banner after 3+ sessions (30-day snooze)
- New About tab in Settings: version, repo link, license info
- Centralize project URLs (REPO_URL, DONATE_URL) in __init__.py, served via /health
- Center settings tab bar, reduce tab padding for 6-tab fit
- External URL save button: icon button instead of full-width text button
- Remove redundant settings footer close button
- Footer "Source Code" link replaced with "About" opening settings
- i18n keys for en/ru/zh

bytes were rendered as color data, garbling multi-zone previews)
- Fix _restoreLedPreviewState to handle zone-mode panels
FPS Charts:
- Seed target card charts from server metrics-history on first load
- Add fetchMetricsHistory() with 5s TTL cache shared across
dashboard, targets, perf-charts, and graph-editor
- Fix chart padding: pass maxSamples per caller (120 for dashboard,
30 for target cards) instead of hardcoded 120
- Fix dashboard chart empty on tab switch (always fetch server history)
- Left-pad with nulls for consistent chart width across targets
Dashboard:
- Fix metrics row alignment (grid layout with fixed column widths)
- Fix FPS label overflow into uptime column
- Create utils/image_codec.py with cv2-based image helpers
- Replace PIL usage across all routes, filters, and engines with cv2
- Move Pillow from core deps to [tray] optional in pyproject.toml

- Strip unused NumPy/PIL/zeroconf/debug files in build scripts
Replace 22 individual JSON store files with a single SQLite database
(data/ledgrab.db). All entity stores now use BaseSqliteStore backed by
SQLite with WAL mode, write-through caching, and thread-safe access.
- Add Database class with SQLite backup/restore API
- Add BaseSqliteStore as drop-in replacement for BaseJsonStore
- Convert all 16 entity stores to SQLite

settings table
- Replace JSON backup/restore with SQLite snapshot backups (.db files)
- Remove partial export/import feature (backend + frontend)
- Update demo seed to write directly to SQLite

New audio source type that filters a parent source to a specific frequency
band (bass 20-250Hz, mid 250-4kHz, treble 4k-20kHz, or custom range).
Supports chaining with frequency range intersection and cycle detection.
Band filtering applied in both CSS audio streams and test WebSocket.
New standalone WeatherSource entity with pluggable provider architecture
(Open-Meteo v1, free, no API key). Full CRUD, test endpoint, browser
geolocation, IconSelect provider picker, CardSection with test/clone/edit.
WeatherColorStripStream maps WMO weather codes to ambient color palettes
with temperature hue shifting and thunderstorm flash effects. Ref-counted
WeatherManager polls API and caches data per source.
CSS editor integration: weather type with EntitySelect source picker,
speed and temperature influence sliders. Backup/restore support.
i18n for en/ru/zh.
Composite layers now support optional start/end LED range (toggleable)
and reverse flag, making composite a superset of mapped source. Layers
are collapsible with animated expand/collapse and consistent 0.85rem
font sizing. Delete button restyled as ghost icon button.
Also includes minor dashboard CSS overflow fixes.
- Add /api/v1/system/shutdown endpoint that triggers clean uvicorn exit
- Persist all 15 stores to disk during shutdown via _save_all_stores()
- Add force parameter to BaseJsonStore._save() to bypass restore freeze
- Restart script now requests graceful shutdown via API (15s timeout),
falls back to force-kill only if server doesn't exit in time
- Broadcast server_restarting event over WebSocket before shutdown
- Frontend shows "Server restarting..." overlay instantly on WS event,
replacing the old dynamically-created overlay from settings.ts
- Add server_ref module to share uvicorn Server + TrayManager refs
- Add i18n keys for restart overlay (en/ru/zh)
Add gradient_id field to color strip sources for referencing reusable
gradient entities. Improve audio stream processing and effect stream
with new parameters.
New notification effects:
- Chase: light bounces across strip with Gaussian glow tail
- Gradient flash: bright center fades to edges with exponential decay
Queue priority: notifications with color_override get high priority and
interrupt the current effect.
Also fixes transient preview for notification sources — adds WebSocket
"fire" command so inline preview works without a saved source, plus
auto-fires on preview open so the effect is visible immediately.
Effects: add 7 new procedural effects (rain, comet, bouncing ball, fireworks,
sparkle rain, lava lamp, wave interference) and custom palette support via
user-defined [[pos,R,G,B],...] stops.
Gradient: add easing functions (linear, ease_in_out, step, cubic) for stop
interpolation, plus noise_perturb and hue_rotate animation types.
Daylight: add longitude field and NOAA solar equations for accurate
sunrise/sunset based on latitude, longitude, and day of year.
Candlelight: add wind simulation (correlated gusts), candle type presets
(taper/votive/bonfire), and wax drip effect with localized brightness dips.
Also fixes editor preview to include all new fields for inline LED test.
Auth is now optional: when `auth.api_keys` is empty, all endpoints are
open (no login screen, no Bearer tokens). Health endpoint reports
`auth_required` so the frontend knows which mode to use.
Backup/restore fixes:
- Auto-backup uses atomic writes (was `write_text`, risked corruption)
- Startup backup skipped if recent backup exists (<5 min cooldown),
preventing rapid restarts from rotating out good backups
- Restore rejects all-empty backups to prevent accidental data wipes
- Store saves frozen after restore to prevent stale in-memory data
from overwriting freshly-restored files before restart completes
- Missing stores during restore logged as warnings
- STORE_MAP completeness verified at startup against StorageConfig
- Notification history: replace text buttons with icon buttons, use modal-footer for proper positioning
- CSS test: reject 0-LED picture sources with clear error message, show WS close reason in UI
- Calibration: distribute LEDs by aspect ratio (16:9 default) instead of evenly across edges
- Value source schedule: replace native time input with custom HH:MM picker matching automation style
- Remove "No ... yet" empty state labels from all CardSection instances
- Replace winsdk (~35MB) with winrt packages (~2.5MB) for OS notification
listener. API is identical, 93% size reduction.
- Replace wmi (~3-5MB) with ctypes for monitor names (EnumDisplayDevicesW)
and camera names (SetupAPI). Zero external dependency.
- Migrate cv2.resize/imencode/LUT to Pillow/numpy in 5 files (filters,
preview helpers, kc_target_processor). OpenCV only needed for camera
and video stream now.
- Fix DefWindowProcW ctypes overflow on 64-bit Python (pre-existing bug
in platform_detector display power listener).
- Fix openLightbox import in streams-capture-templates.ts (was using
broken window cast instead of direct import).
- Add mandatory data migration policy to CLAUDE.md after silent data
loss incident from storage file rename without migration.
Server: send initial frame immediately after metadata for api_input
sources so the client gets the current buffer (fallback color if
inactive) instead of never receiving a frame when push_generation
stays at 0.
Frontend: clear all test modal canvases on open to prevent stale
pixels from previous sessions. Reset FPS timestamps after metadata
so the initial bootstrap frame isn't counted in the FPS chart.

Backend: send border_width in WS metadata and frame_dims (width, height)
as a separate JSON message on first JPEG frame.
Frontend: render semi-transparent green overlay rectangles on each active
edge showing the sampling region depth, plus a small px label. Overlays
are proportionally sized based on border_width relative to frame dimensions.
