+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of

+# `led_ticker` — Python library & CLI for the LED Ticker
+
+`led_ticker` speaks the same BLE service as the iOS app, so you can drive the
+device — or build your own tools — from any machine with Bluetooth. The device
+advertises as `LED-Ticker-XXXX`.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pip install led-ticker      # or: uv add led-ticker
+```
+
+This installs the importable `led_ticker` package and the `led` command.
+From a checkout you can also run the CLI with no install via uv:
+
+```bash
+uv run tools/led.py <cmd>   # uses ./src directly
+```
+
+## Library
+
+```python
+from led_ticker import LedTicker, scan
+
+# Scan for available devices (returns DeviceInfo with name, address, rssi):
+for d in scan():
+    print(d.name, d.address, d.rssi)
+
+# Reuse one connection for several operations:
+with LedTicker(pin="482913") as d:
+    d.set_tickers(["AAPL", "MSFT"])
+    d.set_status("BUSY", minutes=30)
+    print(d.get_version())          # -> "0.3.0"
+    s = d.get_status()              # -> Status(text="BUSY", seconds=1800)
+
+# Or a one-shot for a single call (opens and closes its own connection):
+import led_ticker
+led_ticker.set_mode(["stocks", "weather"])
+```
+
+`LedTicker(select=None, address=None, name_prefix="LED-Ticker", scan_timeout=4.0, timeout=15.0, pin=None)`.
+By default the first `LED-Ticker-*` in range is used; if several are in range it raises
+`AmbiguousDeviceError` (whose `.candidates` is a list of `DeviceInfo`). Pass `select=` — a
+name suffix (the `XXXX` in `LED-Ticker-XXXX`), full name, or address — to choose one, or
+`address=` to target a known address directly (skips the scan). Methods raise
+`ValidationError`, `AuthError`, `DeviceNotFoundError`, `AmbiguousDeviceError`, or
+`ProtocolError` (all subclasses of `LedTickerError`).
+
+## Selecting a device
+
+With more than one LED-Ticker in range, list them and target one explicitly:
+
+```bash
+uv run tools/led.py devices                 # list units: name, address, signal
+uv run tools/led.py --device A1B2 status "BUSY" 30   # target by name suffix
+```
+
+`--device` matches a unit by its name suffix (the `XXXX` in `LED-Ticker-XXXX`),
+its full name, or its Bluetooth address. If you run a command with several units
+in range and no `--device`, an interactive terminal prompts you to choose; in a
+script (no TTY) it lists the candidates and exits non-zero so you can re-run with
+`--device`.
+
+## CLI
+
+```bash
+# Sign mode
+uv run tools/led.py status "BUSY" 30      # show for 30 min, then auto-clear
+uv run tools/led.py status "ON AIR"       # indefinite
+uv run tools/led.py status clear
+
+# Timer mode (countdown sign — random animation at zero, then resumes ambient)
+uv run tools/led.py timer 10              # 10-minute countdown
+uv run tools/led.py timer cancel
+
+# Ambient mode (subset of stocks/weather/clock, 'all', or 'none' for sign-only)
+uv run tools/led.py mode stocks weather
+uv run tools/led.py mode clock
+uv run tools/led.py mode all
+uv run tools/led.py mode none
+
+# Power (volatile — power cycle returns to on)
+uv run tools/led.py power on
+uv run tools/led.py power off
+
+# Display settings (persisted on the device)
+uv run tools/led.py display                  # show current brightness + scroll speed
+uv run tools/led.py display brightness 8     # brightness 0-15
+uv run tools/led.py display speed 50         # scroll ms/step 20-500 (lower = faster)
+uv run tools/led.py display 8 50             # both at once
+
+# Timezone (persisted; POSIX TZ string — the iOS app has a friendly picker)
+uv run tools/led.py timezone                              # show current
+uv run tools/led.py timezone "EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0"     # US Eastern
+
+# Data
+uv run tools/led.py tickers AAPL TSLA NVDA SPY
+uv run tools/led.py locations "47.61,-122.33,Seattle"   # lat,lon,label (look up coords online)
+uv run tools/led.py apikey your-finnhub-key
+uv run tools/led.py wifi My Network Name password
+
+# Inspect
+uv run tools/led.py get version           # firmware version on the device
+uv run tools/led.py get wifi|apikey|tickers|status|locations|mode|power|display|timezone|version  # read other settings
+
+# Auth
+uv run tools/led.py pin 482913            # save the device's PIN locally (~/.config/led-ticker/pin)
+uv run tools/led.py pin clear             # forget the saved PIN
+uv run tools/led.py pin-enforce on        # device: require PIN for writes (default after a fresh flash)
+uv run tools/led.py pin-enforce off       # device: stop requiring PIN (escape hatch)
+
+# Maintenance
+uv run tools/led.py reload                # force stock refresh
+uv run tools/led.py reset                 # wipe NVS, rotate PIN, revert to config.h defaults
+```
+
+Stale-PIN safety: every write probes the device after sending the PIN and exits with a clear error if the PIN was rotated by a factory reset — a write never fails silently because of an out-of-date local PIN.
