What's New in Illumibot⚓︎

The latest features and improvements to the Illumibot app. The app shows the same notes in Profile → What's New after each update.

Version 2.1 (Latest · September 2026)⚓︎

Announcements on Home: News and updates from the Illumibot team now appear right on your Home tab.
Safer firmware updates: Check For Updates now walks you through a quick pre-flight check before the update starts: is the Illumibot online, and is its connection good enough?
Replace an Illumibot: Move an old Illumibot's name and locations onto a new one, straight from its settings.
Pause scheduled shows: Pause and resume a show's schedule from its card, or from Scheduled shows on Home.
AI transitions everywhere at once: Generate an AI transition for every cut in a timeline in one go.
Add to Show: Pick which show a new creation should be added to.
Projector control: Start over with Delete all control methods, and choose DHCP or static addressing for PJ Link.
Prompt Chat: Undo and redo in the composer, and engine badges when you choose a model.
Smarter uploads: Images are resized automatically, and videos the timeline can't play are caught before you upload them.
Gallery: Compare a creation with its source photo, and the sessions list remembers your sort order.

A rebuilt app, with a new look and a new way around.

Five tabs: Home, Point, Prompt, Play and the new Explore tab for the community. Your Profile is now the avatar in the top-right corner.
Guided first-run setup: A step-by-step checklist on Home takes you from unboxing to your first creation. Scan the Illumibot's QR code to connect it.
Prompt Chat: Describe what you want in plain words and get fresh takes on your wall with every message. You can also add reference images, choose models by tier, and dictate your prompts.
Firmware updates in the app: A new Firmware Update page shows each install step as it happens.
Shows & timelines: A new timelines viewer with synced previews, sharing and downloads. You can also choose which locations to export.
Library: Swipeable Uploads, AtmosFX and Timelines tabs, with rename, delete and upload details.
Filter and sort: Filter your prompt sessions by location, and sort sessions and search results.
Automations: Illumibots on newer firmware can run shows from DMX, Arduino, webhooks and projector events.
Slideshows are being retired: Convert them to timeline shows from the Play tab.

Automatic Timeline: Describe a show and let AI write the scenes, animate them and link them with transitions. You can save stories as templates and resume unfinished shows.
Automatic alignment: Your phone camera, on a stand, aligns the projection for you.
Alignment history: Every saved alignment is kept, so you can go back to an earlier one.
Guided alignment and illumiFun: Use your phone as the projector source over a USB-C to HDMI cable.
New mask editor: AI selects a surface with a tap, and the projector shows a live preview. You can also feather mask edges.
Cloud export: Build show videos on our servers instead of your phone.
Regional Prompting: Regenerate just part of an image.
Extend and Repin: Lengthen animations, and re-fit them after you change the alignment.
Token history: See where every token went.
Support chat with images: Send screenshots and videos in support tickets.

Expanded Animation Models: New AI animation options.
Timeline Editor: Build sequences on a visual timeline, and layer your own videos with AI content.
