Synopsis
IntelliStrip is an 8‑faced mesh strip that can display up to 16 characters of text or numbers per face. It is designed to provide real-time information such as time, date, vehicle speed, avatar counts, and many other dynamic values.
What the strip displays is controlled by the description. The description can contain any text, which will be rendered as-is, or can contained placeholders (variable names wrapped in curly braces { }).
For example, setting the description to
{hour12}:{minute} {ampm} - {velocityMph} mph
could display
2:05 PM - 16.8 mph
