Lights and haptics
Dialed Control uses light and touch to tell you the real state of the device, which matters most on the devices with no screen.
Lights
Section titled “Lights”| What you see | What it means |
|---|---|
| Green breathing (Sport, Aeris) | A Classic session is running, as on the stock firmware |
| Green, red, blue in turn (Sport, Aeris) | Quick heat, as on the stock firmware |
| Steel filling up to lime | Preheating a Curve session, with progress |
| Lime, pulsing | Ready: a Curve stage temperature reached |
| Lime, fading with the time left | A Curve session running |
| Dim amber after a session | Hot: the chamber is still hot (if Hot light is on) |
| Breathing, with a number of LEDs lit | Charging: the number of LEDs is the level |
| Slot colour and a count | Which preset or curve is selected |
| Battery bars | Battery level |
| Amber blinks | A warning |
| Red or amber, then back | An error. See Safety and limits. |
| Three flashes | Mode switched: steel is Classic, lime is Curve |
| Two flashes | Standby switched: lime is on, steel is off |
| A lime flash | Confirmed or saved |
The palette is Dialed lime #A4E400, steel #DCDCDC, and amber for warnings.
Light presets
Section titled “Light presets”You have five light presets, the same layout the Focus V app uses, so either app can edit them. Cycle them with 3 clicks on the one-button devices, which works even while the device is locked. Edit them in the web app.
The Focus V light preset plays whenever the device is on and idle, and on the Carta 2 during a Classic session too. On the Sport and Aeris a Classic session shows the stock green breath instead (the stock firmware does the same), and the Sport’s two top lights and the Aeris button light stay dark under a preset. Curve sessions use Dialed’s own lights above.
Stealth
Section titled “Stealth”Stealth turns the lights off and leaves only haptics. On a locked one-button device, 6 clicks + hold toggles it.
Hot light
Section titled “Hot light”When on, a dim amber light stays on after a session while the chamber is still hot.
Haptics
Section titled “Haptics”| Cue | Feel |
|---|---|
| Tick | One very short pulse: a value step |
| Slot | One short pulse: a heat slot was selected |
| Start | Two short pulses: a session starts (also +10 s and the low-power toggle on the one-button devices) |
| Ready | One short pulse: temperature reached |
| Stop | One long pulse: you stopped the session |
| Done | One short pulse: the session ran to its end |
| Power on or off | One long pulse |
| Refused | One long pulse: no atomizer, low battery, locked, and similar. You feel this even in silent mode. |
| Confirm | Short then long: saved, or mode switched |
| Ending | Three pulses: five seconds left. Curve sessions only; a Classic session has no warning, as on the stock firmware |
| Count | A number of short pulses: the Curve slot number |
The LED preset change (3 clicks) and the battery bars (4 clicks) are silent, as on the stock firmware.
Strength and on/off are in Settings. Setting vibration to zero turns haptics off, except for “refused”.
