@Spaceman_Spiff I have a usb dmx dongle, how can i integrate it with Openhab2? In openhab1.8 i used OLA and the DMX ola binding, I see that in OH2 there is only dmx Ola available.
how does dmx really work? Why does openhab need ola or artnet? My question is why can not openhab write directly to the ethernet or usb dongle, why does need to go through a translator?
I too used an ArtNet to DMX unit to control DMX lighting from OpenHAB 1.7.
Having just upgraded to OH2 I have installed the DMX OLA binding, configured it with the IP of my ArtNet unit but alas no success when trying to control.
Anyone able to help? A lot of my home lighting is DMX control, and so without OH2 able to control it I’m a little stuck. Why was a decision made not to support this moving forward?
