Pro Settings Explained

Learn more about Photone's Pro Settings and how to use them

Pro Settings are designed to give you more control over Photone and your lighting.

Advanced Readings

The advanced readings show you peak and average for your PPFD, illuminance and CCT measurements.

The displayed values comprise the last 3 minutes of measurement. The time can be reset by tapping on the display element.

Spirit Level Indicator

For consistent, comparable measurements, keep your device leveled. The spirit level indicator uses your device's gyroscope to help you achieving this. It works just like a traditional level, ensuring accurate positioning for your measurements.

Disable Hold Mode

There are scenarios where you might want to completely disable the HOLD mode which allows to freeze the measurement by holding the lower third of the screen.

Disabling the HOLD mode can be useful for advanced use cases such as measuring under water.

Latching Hold Mode

When this feature is activated, the behavior of the hold mode changes to a latching one. Instead of HOLD only being active as long as the button is kept pressed, HOLD remains active until the button is pressed again. This function comes in handy if you prefer to have both hands free.

Read Aloud

Set Photone to read the measurements out loud so you can adjust your lighting with your hands free and without having to look at your device. You can change the language in the accessibility settings of your device (look for “Spoken Content” for iOS or “Text-To-Speech” for Android). The speech volume can be adjusted with the volume keys of your device.

Pro Usage Intended

Photone offers these advanced settings exclusively to Pro users, requiring an upgrade. By upgrading, you not only gain access to all the functionality within Photone, but also to personal 24-hour support and many other features — all while supporting us developers in making Photone an even better tool for you and the grower community.
