I was hoping to get some info from the community regarding DMX. It looks to be a really good option for controlling LEDs. Some of my questions might be answered by tinkering, but I wanted to get some information before I commit to buying hardware, especially since my HA budget is very small at the m…

I’m not sure what can be done with the API for QLC+… but have you seen this demo? QLC+ Web API Test Can you make use of the Cue list control ? This API demonstrates how to control a Virtual Console Cue List widget. The parameters to be used are: Cue List I…

Hi [image] philanyware: Could you give a link to those 12 channel fully addressable 12V digital downlights? I haven’t packaged them up or actively promoted them yet, in fact I was only having a conversation with the chap who designed and populates the PCBs last night. (There is a box of 80 …

Those down lights are nice. Is it too much to hope that they fit into a standard down light fitting for an MR16 halogen/led bulb? What hardware do you use to power them and control them? Could they be used in outdoor down light fittings under eaves? I’ve got some of these but they’re just not bri…

[image] philanyware: Is it too much to hope that they fit into a standard down light fitting for an MR16 halogen/led bulb? What? As if they are mounted in a Par16 style lamp house or something? Obviously the MR16 pin grip won’t work, but the lamp body will fit the standard space that a GU10…

[image] MDAR: @Dome What do you think? Should we work at putting a guide together? I was already thinking about doing something. I’d love to collaborate!

[image] MDAR: Or if you want something super fun, I’ve got some 12 channel fully addressable 12V digital downlights that you can use to create infinite amounts of effects and scenes. These sound pretty awesome. I’m planing a family room renovation and I think these would work really well. I a…

I’m trying to connect OpenHab2 to QLC+ using the DMX binding as described above. For now I just want to click a button in OpenHab and turn on a DMX RGBW spotlight that is connected to QLC+ (tested and working from QLC+). QLC+ is installed on a RPi at 192.168.171.21 with bitwizard DMX interface Ope…

[image] philanyware: I don’t know how to set the input to the OpenHab binding. The drop down shows [E1.31] options for 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.171.21. I tried “[E1.31] 192.168.171.21” but tinkering with the dimmer does not make the lights go. How do I make the connection? Will it work if OpenHab …

Thanks so much for all the detail Stuart. I’ll start with a simple button that runs a chaser and work my way up to matrix animations. On the virtual console in QLC+ from my laptop, I’ve defined a button and set the input like this: [image] I load the project via the web interface in QLC+ on the …

[image] philanyware: the input for universe 4 to E1.31 You need to access the full Input Output section of QLCplus UI (I use a VNC session, check out the QLCplus forum to see how I’ve done that) to setup the universes, because you’ll need to set the incoming universe of sACN. (I’m not sure w…

If anyone is interested, I’ve worked out how to run QLCplus on 64 bit Debian Linux, in an X session with a VNC remote server.
