I have some weird problems with the sidekicks.
The minor issue is that I cannot use the Swedish character "ä" in sidekick names in the app. I'd like to name my sidekicks "Sidekick vänster" and "Sidekick höger" (i.e. "Sidekick left" and "Sidekick right").
"Sidekick höger" works as expected even though it contain the Swedish character "ö".
"Sidekick vänster" will stay as entered until the app is restarted, at which time it reverts to whatever name it had before.
The major issue is that the sidekicks doesn't react to the correct selected sector of the screen. See the attached image.
* The left sidekick is configured to react to sector 6 (white) and it shows a deep red color. If I configure it to show sector 8 (the deep blue), it shows white color. If configured to show sector 9 (red) it shows a deep blue color. So far everything just seems to be shifted one step, but that isn't true if I continue to select other sectors.
* The right sidekick is configured to react to sector 10 (bright green) and shows a purple color (could possibly be that of sector 7). If it is configured to show sector 6 (the white one) it shows a deep red color just as the left one did. If configured to react to sector 12 it actually shows a color that is kind of similar to that on the screen but that is some kind of random match because it doesn't follow that sector in other cases (it could be that it actually reacts to sector 3).
Initially I had a similar problem with the led strip where colors seemed to be shifted in comparison to the screen location, but that was due to an error in my configuration. I have an Xtreme LED strip but the app was configured for Mega LED strip. Once I changed the configuration to the correct one (Xtreme), everything on the LED Strip fell into place.
There is no LED strip size setting for the sidekicks but the problem is somewhat similar - the sectors seems to be shifted in comparison to the screen location. Could it be that the sidekicks still calculate things as if I had a Mega strip, not an Xtreme strip? I can't really understand why that would be the case, but still...
After having reconfigured the LED strip to the correct size I have numerous times powered off and restarted all devices, but the sidekicks still react to the completely wrong sector of the screen.
I have tested with all possible resolutions from 720p up to 4K, all with the same result.
Sidekick firmware version: 3.1
Dreamscreen firmware version: 1.6.5.6
