v0.9.4-beta.6
Fixes
** Merged a PR from @cheeplusplus to dim the screen when there is no screensaver active.
** Fixes an issue with launching external applications. I have also tried to address the issue of turning on and off the camera features with commands.
The behavior now is to completely shut down all camera operation when receiving the command to disable the camera and then attempt to restart all camera functionality when receiving the command to enable the camera.
** I have also updated the documentation because I received some complaints that the introduction of the settings code was not well explained.
Updates
The largest update in this release is the way we open the settings. First we have removed the "back" press action required to open the settings. Now there is a floating button to launch the settings, this button can be moved to one of the four corners of the application and also be made invisible (remember where you left it!!).
The other related feature is a new code bottom sheet that requires the user to enter a code to open the settings.. The default code is 1234, and once you change the code in the settings, you will need to enter the code every time you access the settings.
Additional features include a new feature to open external applications using the URL command over MQTT or HTTP. You can send a command with a formatted schema as the URL and open Ring app for example.
The application can now be set as the Home screen for the device. There is a new option in the settings to disable this if you no longer want the app to act as a home screen. The ability to run the application without being in fullscreen has been added along with a toggle to have a dark mode for the settings.
