DMX binding with Artnet2

Add-ons Bindings
1

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 !!!
