Users should link their Android device to an AsteraBox to initiate control. Acting as the middleman, the AsteraBox receives commands from the app (using Bluetooth), and these commands are processed inside the AsteraBox, then sent to all Astera lights within a 300m range.
With the AsteraApp, users can easily send programmes and effects to lights, create programmes and customize effects, store these programmes for quick use at an event, change the colours, brightness, speed, and fade of programs, target individual lights or groups of lights, as well as many other advanced features for event lighting professionals.
Simon Canins, R&D director at Astera, commented,"With our app now being on the Play Store, this gives our customers the best platform to see, download and play with the app, but it also allows for continuous improvement as users can automatically send error notifications through the Play Store. So we now have the best scenario whereby our customers and Astera are both working towards creating the perfect application to control our wireless lights."
