Help: Overview is read-only. Amber warnings identify controls that can use lights, sound, the microphone, or device state. Switching workspaces never sends a device command.

Device Capability Readiness
Live status, evidence quality, limits, and the safest next action in one place.
How to read this: Ready means usable now, not physically perfect. Human check means the code exists but needs eyes, ears, or hands. Available, off is an intentional privacy/safety state. Not implemented is a future boundary—not a fault.
Device Feature Guide
What works, what moves hardware, and where to start
Everyday controls
States immediately change the Lantern's light, 8×8 symbol, and cue. Alarm / Timer schedules or starts the repeating alarm. Use Stop Alarm or the physical rotary button to silence it.
Voice and listening
Speech buttons play through the Lantern speaker. Recording and wake controls use its microphone. Wake listening is a manual pilot and stays off unless you enable it.
Current hardware limits
Lantern1 is wall-powered, so battery readings are intentionally unavailable. Bluetooth-named states are expression previews only; Bluetooth transport is not implemented.
Safe troubleshooting order
Check System Snapshot, then Network Lanterns, then refresh the affected panel. Open Legacy Developer Tools only for connection, output, symbol, light, or cue diagnostics.
Physical action: amber buttons in States, Alarm / Timer, Voice / Audio, and Legacy Developer Tools can change lights, sound, microphone capture, or device state immediately.

Begin a test, say the wake word, then record the outcome.

Recent Playback Diagnostics
Telemetry analysis is read-only. Refreshing never plays audio or sends a device command. “Acknowledge evidence” only marks a retained record reviewed; it does not delete the evidence, play audio, or contact the Lantern.
Wake-Word Diagnostics
Review and label openWakeWord triggers from the local pipeline.
Network Lanterns
Network Settings
Advanced Wi-Fi Settings
To change the mDNS network name, you must also provide the Wi-Fi credentials.
States
Physical action: each state button immediately changes the connected Lantern's light, symbol, and cue. Bluetooth states preview expressions only.
Alarm / Timer
Physical action: Start Now sounds the Lantern immediately. Scheduled alarms remain local to Core until their fire time.
Alarm is idle.

The Vogon Poetry Machine
Guardian assigns Hermes a poem, then optionally has the Network Lantern announce and read it.
Generation-only samples use the selected provider and never play through Lantern.
Piper Voice Effects (Optional)
Unchecked mode is the safe dry run: Guardian, Hermes, Bridge, and validation still run, but no speech is sent.
Ready. Choose a subject and run a dry test first.

Pocket / Piper System-Wide Speech Provider

Lantern Voice Assignment
Pocket Alba is the Lantern-wide default. Auto mode uses Pocket first and safely falls back to the configured Piper voice if Pocket is unavailable.
Per-Lantern assignments can use a built-in Pocket voice or an installed Piper voice. Assigning a voice changes future speech for that Lantern; playing a sample sends audible speech to the selected device.
