About Almond+ Lamp Controller Widget
Apologies are in order to those negatively affected by the last release. A compiler update caused a Release build problem that was missed in testing
v0.99.35 Fixed Login.
v0.99.33-4 Bugfix, excess copy of devices in list. Changed notification level value to %. Auto-reconnect websocket
NOTICE: Securifi has released R083 firmware, now required for this App
Not tested for compatibility with other Securifi products, designed for Almond+
Does not use the Securifi Cloud-based control. Accesses your Almond+ locally, so it works if your Almond+ works.
With this utility you can control your Almond+ associated Lamps, MultiLevel devices and Switches! Without having to scroll through your Almond+ official app's full list of devices. Using either an App with a list format and precise level control, or using the Widget with 6 levels of light output. Tested with devices such as:
DSC06106-ZWUS Appliance Switch
FC7033 60We WeMo Lamp
Customers have other devices working. Feel free to report in those that work, and any that do not
Notification Drawer: Operates same as a Home Screen Widget. Launch the App to 'install' the Notification, use the App 'Settings' menu to change notification options. Choose the priority level. Choice of layout to display (not all layouts will display well on all devices). Requires API level 16+ for all features, subset of features supported below 16
InApp Activity: Select 1 or more Lamps (MultiLevel) to adjust simultaneously. You can adjust the illumination level on several or all lamps at the same time, or turn them all off or on. Use the App to set the IP address if not using the Almond+ default (10.10.10.254). Menu now has a Reset to Defaults command (then hit Login)
Widget: Tap the A+ icon on the Widget to open the App when needed. Widget can set individual lamps, all lamps in a location, or all available lamps. It can set the level to off, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, or full on, affecting the current selection of lamp(s) (binary devices go on above 25%, or off below 50%). See the Play store bitmaps for examples. The location bar has 3 click sensitive areas. The left half of the bar advances the selection of lamp(s). The right half of the bar (excluding the far right end) selects between a specific location or any location. The rightmost end of the bar shows the number (#) of lamp(s). Clicking that area selects between affecting several lamps as a group (red text), or an individual lamp in the current group (white/selected text color). If a location is selected, clicking the left half of the bar advances to the next location available. While a location is shown, and all lamps is selected (#, red font), clicking location switches to All available lamps. Click again to switch back
Getting started: Install & Open the App. Open Menu, choose ResetToDefaults. Change the IP address if needed. Hit Login. On the Securifi login page that opens, enter password, then either hit enter/done, or scroll to where the Securifi 'Login' button is displayed and click. If needed, hit app Refresh button
Known issues; these may be fixed but will take additional time to determine, so leaving them listed here.
- You may also find that a widget is displaying 'No Lamps'. Select the widget, as if to move it, then release. This forces an update to that widget
- Android 5+, Notification Widget isn't always fully functional. Has full functionality below 5.0
- Widgets may not always auto-reconnect. Jump into App and it will. Plan to fix shortly

Seems as though you only get one shot at logging in. After that there does not seem to be an intuitive way to find the place to enter your login credentials and resume setup if you lose your spot or have to go lookin for your PW. This app may have had promise...but who cares if it is unable to access your system. Against my better judgement, I gave it a second shot, logged in and was rewarded with control of 1 single light from the seven I have setup. So now I can't even get a refund for this thing.
