    Besides AI Sol and Radions, anyone know of any other LED systems that have a thunderstorm function?

    the web site pretty much explains the unit comparatively... it is also available on the app store as stated on the web site...as for open source..here is a quote....wikipedia..
    "In production and development, open source is a philosophy,[1][not in citation given][2][not in citation given] or pragmatic methodology[2][not in citation given] that promotes free redistribution and access to an end product's design and implementation details.[3] Before the phrase open source became widely adopted, developers and producers used a variety of phrases to describe the concept; open source gained hold with the rise of the Internet, and the attendant need for massive retooling of the computing source code.[citation needed] Opening the source code enabled a self-enhancing diversity of production models, communication paths, and interactive communities.[4] The open-source software movement was born to describe the environment that the new copyright, licensing, domain, and consumer issues created.[citation needed]
    The open-source model includes the concept of concurrent yet different agendas and differing approaches in production, in contrast with more centralized models of development such as those typically used in commercial software companies.[5] A main principle and practice of open-source software development is peer production by bartering and collaboration, with the end-product, source-material, "blueprints", and documentation available at no cost to the public. This is increasingly being applied in other fields of endeavor, such as biotechnology.[6]"
    ..basically..many people help in its development to make it as useful as possible for all users.
    when I upgrade...I'm getting one.;D

I wish I could do it NOW !!! lol :)

    yeah for sure. So, can this bad boy be programed to run dimmable LEDs with the thunderstorm effect?
