X11
I control my lights using X11, it would be nice to configure elisa
to be aware of that and give me options to dim lights from a menu, or
using specific remote buttons, or automatically when I play a movie
this seems frivolous, but there are good reasons for it which i will
go into next
Alarm Clock
remote control... err... controlled
play a playlist, randomized
support for fading in the volume at alarm start
along with X11, this could allow my lights to dim on before the
music
options for sunrise/sunset
e.g. I have lights on my turtle tank, and I have written an UGLY
python script that begins to dim the lights on at dawn, and gradually
dims them up until full sunrise, at which time the lights on my turtle
tank are fully on... it does the reverse at sunset... this could even be
nice for my room lights when I feel particularly industrious and want to
get up at dawn
the alarm clock and X11 I could do with ugly scripts, but it would be
ideal to control them through menus in elisa
Screen Saver
specifically a photo slideshow, but allowing the system default
screensaver to come on *only* when on the menus would be nice too
Any feedback on these?
