PixelSentinel Lite
Android APK installer for devices outside Google Play. This early Lite build is intended for first deployments and testing on your own devices.
This APK is intended only for experienced LED technicians. It is a beta test build for evaluation and controlled testing, not for production or live event deployment.
Installation
After downloading, Android may ask you to allow installs from your browser. This is the standard step for apps installed outside Google Play.
Updates
Future versions will install as normal updates when they use a higher version code and the same signing key.
PixelSentinel Field Console for Windows

Activation
The app requires an active PixelSentinel Node token for first use.
Scope
Tester build for local Pi, cloud login, camera, readback, and future LED inspector workflows.
