I want to monitor an area of the screen (not a pixel) and if a % different change happened make a sound and launch a program maybe.

If the ALARM lamp turns red = run a program.

First version pledged for this month (April).

Given the nature of the app & requirements, we'll tackle three modes on the program:

* Whole desktop coordinates.
* Single-window coordinates.
* Webcam feed capture.

First ALPHA version comes with whole desktop processing

Program GUI is done:



Thinking about the use case of green & red light detection. May need to have an option to skip every other detection.

1. First (base) = green.
2. Second (change) = red. Triggers action.
3. Third. Base again = green.
4. Fourth  (change) = red. Triggers action.

Option can be called "Skip odds". This alpha is the next release

Hey Vic!

Created an account just to let you know, good stuff! Will be following this, Would love to test it with something that has been bugging me for a while.

My case however is monitoring any change periodically on the whole screen, save the date/time of course.

Okay! As a "wink" to your request I've added a "Whole screen" context menu option to the set area button (right-click):



This one is about to take off

Hey Vic!
wow, actually this is exact what I am looking for with this GUI and area changes! I registered here for this cool tool
I have no idea how to get started this tool. I downloaded the repo and how do I get an .exe/executable file from it?

Thank you for any advice!
Have a nice day mate!

Hi cacgul, thanks & welcome to the family. I have both desktop and window figured. I'll be releasing an ALPHA with them (No worries, public release contains .exe binary).

Going to "ping" you via PM.

(Camera support as required by user45454 to follow)

Cheers!

hmm... seriously pondering splitting webcam functionality into a separate "Camera Action" release...This will allow for a faster release of what's coded (this app) & a deeper dwelling on algorithms for computer vision, including OpenCV

The simpler detection for screen pixels and windows is a different domain vs real-life camera video feeds.

EDIT: Yep, two separate releases is the way to go (Good news for this one)

[cacgul]

Wow, thats Sounds good, thank you mate :-)

I would like to try this when it will be ready vic


I have a program that tells me the status of certain devices ON, OFF, FAL and I like to be notified with a sound when a status change is made, such as from ON to FAL

Hello! it suits this purpose

...Work and other delays have interfered yet I'm releasing an ALPHA version with enough functionality for your target use.

Thanks for "pinging". Appreciated
