Using Buttons & Settings

The AL60 features three physical buttons on the top or rear of the device, allowing you to control most features without needing to access the Web Interface.

Button Layout

• Mode Button: Used for switching between different visual modes and lighting controls.
• Hour Button: Used for manual time adjustment and maintenance tasks.
• Minute Button: Used for manual time adjustment and maintenance tasks.

Mode Button Actions

The Mode button is highly versatile and supports multiple types of interaction:

• Single Click: Cycles through the primary Clock Effects (Standard, Fade, Rainbow, RGB, Mono).
• Double Click: Cycles through the Sensory Effects on the notification layer. This allows you to overlay temperature and humidity data on top of the clock face.
• Long Press (1 Second): Cycles through the Light Control Modes:
  • Motion Detection: Uses the built-in radar to brighten when motion is detected.
  • Ambient Light: Adjusts brightness automatically based on room lighting.
  • Manual/Off: Keeps the clock at a constant brightness or turns off automatic scaling.

Manual Time Adjustment

If you are not using internet time (SNTP), you can set the time manually using the Hour and Minute buttons:

• Single Click (Hour/Minute): Increments the time by one hour or one minute. Note that incrementing the time will automatically disable internet time sync to prevent your changes from being overwritten.
• Long Press (Hour/Minute): Holding either button will result in a continuous fast-increment of the hours or minutes.

Maintenance Controls (Chord)

By pressing and holding both the Hour and Minute buttons simultaneously (a "chord"), you can perform system maintenance:

• Hold for 2-10 Seconds: Re-enables internet time sync (SNTP) and reboots the clock. This is useful if you want to revert manual time changes.
• Hold for 10+ Seconds: Performs a Factory Reset, clearing all saved WiFi credentials and settings. The clock will reboot into its default state.
