There are 4 types of programs available in the BTAir app:
• Static. The FIXED option sets a static color, the dimmer level, and an optional strobe rate.
• Auto. These options set a series of colors to follow one after another, the dimmer level, an optional
strobe rate, and the program speed. The auto program options are FADE and PULSE.
• Chase. In a chase program, each product in a group will be offset by one color from the previous
product in the group, creating the effect of each color moving from product to product.
