wled-native-ios's Issues

Hidden devices return

Hi. Great app. I found the original WLED app didn’t display or work right on iPhone pro.

On this app all seems great other than devices I hide come back after some time. After the app is force closed.

Any idea if it’s fixable or just one of those things?

My use case is 3 strips that are all essentially controlled as 1. So wled 1 is called summer house. Wled 2 and 3 are hidden and just sync from wled 1.

Odd Behavior Using WLED-Native-iOS

Hi Moustachauve,
I was referred to you by blazoncek (on WLED discourse). I'm observing odd behavior when using WLED-Native-iOS.

I have three independent LED strings established, each with a unique IP address. All strings are logged onto my home wifi, and are visible in WLED-Native-iOS (two phones, wife's and mine). When my wife turns (the two sets of) Christmas lights on or off, it also impacts my sound reactive string (in the basement). The basement string seems to revert to whatever settings my wife has selected. I’m able to (daily) reset my basement string to my desired settings without further incident. But, next time she turns Christmas off, they will change again. Has anyone else encountered similar behavior? Any thoughts on resolving?

Thanks, Grizz952

Add link to WLED documentation to README

It would be nice to add the link to the WLED documentation to the README. New users would have a much easier time with a reference, especially if they are new to LED lighting.

Here is the link: https://kno.wled.ge

Add Offline Label

In the WLED app, they put "Offline" after any device that the app knows about, but isn't currently online.

In WLED Native, there's no indication of what's online or offline.

I do not always have my devices connected to the internet, nor do I remember the name of each device, so when I power one up, it's nice to know which devices are online vs which ones are offline.

possible type in readme

Hey,
just noticed that you write in the readme that it is not a official Google product etc.
Possibly an copy paste error from the Android app repo.

Adding devices with dns host name doesn't work

As I have dhcp in my network for all device, it would be nice to have the option to add devices with their DNS name.

The device can be added but is shown as disconnected. No matter whether URL with Hostnamen or fully qualified.

Can you please check what I'm doing wrong?

Use `/json/nodes` to discover more devices

i'm using a VPN to connect to my WLED network.
therefore mDNS does not work to discover my devices.

to aid the process of importing my WLED devices, the app could query the API of already added devices to fetch their known neighbor nodes: /json/nodes.

this would improve setting up all devices from my local network, as it would only require me to add a single device manually.

Hidden devices stop being hidden after app restart.

I'm hiding ip addresses, they appear again after the application is closed, I would appreciate it if you could solve it.

Your work is very nice, congratulations. Good work

WLED Native App shutting down WLED instances

Hey Christophe,

there seems to be a problem with the newest WLED Native Version.
I just got into this LED and WLED stuff but i've ran into a peculiar problem when using the WLED Native app.
Opening the App shuts down any WLED instance it finds, not everytime but opening the app a few times and they will shut down.

I posted on Reddit to see if it's a common issue, and maybe somethings wrong with my settings, but from the few replies it seems to be a problem caused by the App on iOS specifically: https://www.reddit.com/r/WLED/comments/1abh212/wled_stops_working_when_opening_the_native_wled/

Connecting WLED back to WiFi after accidental wrong configuration

I have an LED device where the manufacturer uses wild-ap. He instructed me to use 4.3.2.1 in browser, but that never pulls up. I discovered your app and was able to connect and control the device (worked really great). However, I wanted to change it later from my guest network to my main network. I accidentally saved my main network name with my guest network password in WiFi Config within the app. Of course, now I can't connect at all nor get into those settings. The device no longer shows up in networks ever since I connected to the app. Manufacturer unresponsive so far. Is there anything you or I can do to get me into those app settings to update? Thank you

Ethernet variant not getting installed

While using ethernet (I was on an ESP32-POE), I used the update feature to get to 0.14.1 (and also later tried .2-b1 on the beta channel), and I immediately lost access to my device. Once I plugged in the wifi antenna, I was able to get back in using the wifi IP, and of course it was at that point that I noticed that ethernet options were missing.

Manually downloading the ethernet .bin worked and I'm now back in.
