Use Cases

Use Case 01 — Console-driven pro operation

Context: Lighting operator works from MA/Avolites and needs deterministic control.

Solution: Use Art-Net mode for low-latency control, keep web UI available as fallback for quick local tuning.

Proof: TBD

Use Case 02 — Large visual wall with 2D effects

Context: Multiple strips arranged physically as a grid for immersive visuals.

Solution: Assign each strip a virtual XY position; each device computes its own pixels while receiving shared effect parameters and clock.

Proof: Add a grid layout image, a screenshot of XY config values, and a clip of wave/fire effects across the full wall.

Use Case 01 — Router-free stage setup

Context: Small stage, fast deployment, no local router available.

Solution: One SmartStrip acts as WiFi AP + ESP-NOW master; additional strips sync parameters and timing with near real-time behavior.

Proof: TBD
