Wi-fi-powered enlarger timer

Features & Capabilities

Transform your iPhone into an enlarger timer using Chronodev. Chronodev uses HomeKit-enabled wall plugs and lightbulbs to control your enlarger and safelights. Secondhand enlarger timers can be expensive and hard to find. This one costs the price of a wi-fi wall plug.

Control your enlarger and safelight with your iPhone or iPad
Expose prints accurately using the HomeKit-enabled timer
Manual enlarger control for focusing
Use the metronome for dodging and burning
Adjust times using EV stops
Automatically create test strips with incremental exposures, and keep track of exposure times using a handy graph
Automatically turn your safelight off when exposing/focusing
Voice control support for hands-free development
Safe to use in black and white darkrooms when using iOS's built-in red color filter

A HomeKit-enabled wall plug and/or lightbulb is required to use all features of this app. Some features (like a basic timer and EV stop calculations) are available without a HomeKit-enabled device.

User Reviews

Really like the app. I paired it with a Meross Wi-Fi smart plug (outdoor version) and the set up took 5 minutes with my apple Home Network. The app is simple and straightforward. Here are a couple of constructive critiques and a few wishlist upgrades: 1. Need to add 1/10s of a second. 2. ± ev adjustment button needs to be more prominent / larger. 3. Screen brightness constantly changing, although it never appeared to fog my paper. 4. Addition of dodge/burn times (building a sequence) 5. Memory of sequence / ability to add notes 6. Multi channel for split printing Looking forward to continued use!
