Release notes

One entry per release, newest first. Updates arrive from Dynamo signed and install in the night window set on the PC.

3.7.1 · 10 November 2026

  • The Schedule page. One Schedule button in the Scenes row, on the PC and on the phone, opens a full page: Now showing, Hold 2 h, Back to the timetable, Add to the timetable in one form (scene tiles, Every day / Weekdays / Weekend or single days, Morning / Lunch / Afternoon / Evening / Overnight or custom times), a Monday-to-Sunday week view, and conflicts said plainly with Replace or Keep both.

3.7.0 · 6 November 2026

  • Scenes. Save this scene captures everything switched on, including the background, under a name. Load, update, rename, delete.
  • Scene timetable. A default scene plus ordered rules by day and time. Display on and off hours always win.
  • AI pictures kept on the PC, so a scheduled scene always has its background, even offline.

3.6.9 · 5 November 2026

  • Text outline off when there is no background; a thin outline otherwise, sized to the font.
