Field notes
The described calibration flashes lights one at a time and measures how long each takes to respond, instead of relying on a single room-wide lag adjustment. The page distinguishes continuous streaming, beat-triggered changes, and slower ambient changes, while warning that some integrations depend on unpublished protocols. Its own rate testing has covered Hue so far; the app-store links remain marked “coming soon.”
