To verify

Definitions written from what is published about these models, never tried on one. If you have one, Candeo recognises it in Devices: press Try, then Report to say whether it lights — confirmed, it ships with Candeo for everyone. The files are here too, to download into Documents\candeo\devices.

Their protocol proved on a sibling

Their protocol to verify too

The first send only what the verified definition of their family sends; the others come from OpenRGB's reading of their protocol, never tried by Candeo. Keep the keyboard in view the first time.

One device, several effects

Where a device's lights sit in several places — the Alienware 17 R5's keyboard, lid and base, the ring and the logo of the m18 R1 — Devices can split it into regions. Each region then runs its own effect, with its own settings and its own way of following the sound or a signal: the keyboard dancing to the music while the lid shows how hot the computer runs.

Yours is not listed?

Candeo shows a lighting device it cannot drive yet as Detected, not supported yet, without opening it. Report opens a form already filled in with what Candeo saw of it and the computer's model — never a serial number — so that someone can write its definition.

A device is a file Candeo reads: how to find it, the bytes it expects, and where its lights sit. Write one for yours, try it at once in the app, and it can become one of the devices above for everyone who has it. Describe a device →
