DMX binding with Artnet2

I can’t get my DMX binding working with a Artnet2 convertor.
I’m rarther new in the DMX hardware, so can be a misunderstanding from my side. :wink:

Hardware

  • I’ve got 4 Showtec PAR64 RGB lights.

    • As far as I understand, these have 6 channels
      1: R, 2: G, 3: B, 4: Full color, 5: Srobe and speed, 6: Modi

    • I gave them address 17, 33, 49, 65.
      These are fixed button on a ADJ DMX operator, and here they seem to work. So at first sight, the hardware setup seems to work. :blush:

  • Artnet DMX 2 convertor

    • DMX is connected on the first port (universe 44 ?)
    • IP is 2.115.65.43 (and pingable from openhab server)

Software

  • binding-dmx - 2.5.5.SNAPSHOT, installed by paperUI

  • I’ve added the arnet bridge by paperUI, and he comes nicely online.

  • I’ve added a light over paperUI, and comes online. So far, so good?

  • I’ve added some items, and linked them in my sitemap:

    Dimmer  PAR64_4_Red     "PAR4 Rood"     { channel="dmx:color:d7ea8bb8:brightness_r" }
    Dimmer  PAR64_4_Green   "PAR4 Groen"    { channel="dmx:color:d7ea8bb8:brightness_g" }
    Dimmer  PAR64_4_Blue    "PAR4 Blauw"    { channel="dmx:color:d7ea8bb8:brightness_b" }
    Color   PAR64_4_Color   "PAR4 Kleur"    { channel="dmx:color:d7ea8bb8:color" }
    
  • My logs give no ‘real errors’:

Any idea what I'm missing here?

Asuming you have also configured things for your rgb lights, You cold check if unsiverse 44 is correct.
I did the debugging for the correct parameters on a pc using a software. In my case qlc+.
But based on your parameters i guess the the universe is 43.

Not sure how you came up with that number, but indeed, that did the trick!
Thank you very much !!!

Lets call it the

magic

of reading the manual :slight_smile:
