Game Status

The scoreboard is active while the Team Tracker sensor has the following state:

When the sensor changes to another state, such as PRE, POST, BYE or NOT_FOUND, the pushed app is automatically removed from AWTRIX NG.

Automatic Updates

The display is updated whenever one of these attributes changes:

team_score:
opponent_score:
quarter:

After every update, AWTRIX NG immediately switches to the scoreboard.

Team Colors

The blueprint normally uses these Team Tracker attributes:

team_colors:
opponent_colors:

If either color set is missing or contains only black values, the blueprint automatically uses dark gray and white as fallback colors.

Quarter Indicator

The four pixels along the bottom represent the four regular quarters:

● ○ ○ ○  First quarter
● ● ○ ○  Second quarter
● ● ● ○  Third quarter
● ● ● ●  Fourth quarter

Inactive quarters are gray, active quarters are white, and overtime is displayed in amber.
