  1. We've got tabletop t4 screens, and woudl like to dock them into the wall. Anyone know of an adapter to do that, or, if we bought in wall versions, can they pulled off the wall and used (by battery) like a tabletop t4?
  2. Where/how did you set this action menu up and configure it to control a door lock relay? I couldn't get this part setup at least not on iOS devices. Mind sharing?
  3. For anyone reading - turns out I had plugged a rogue airport express that was still configured as a router a couple weeks back on my network. I was planning to use it for an airplay2 streamer, but hadn’t turned off the routing configuration for it yet. Doh! Unplugged it and everything came back to normal.
  4. Ah. Was hoping there was a log or something. I see the signals coming in from the keypads immediately to the controller when I press them (used the Chowmain Event Logger driver). So now, it seems like it could be any of: a. the controller is failing to process the outbound signal to the panelized relays/dimmers. b. an Ethernet issue getting to the relay/dimmer from the controller through a firewall/switch and on to the dimmers/relays Since the signal is received immediately in a button key press event logger, that doesn’t seem to be an Ethernet buss issue, does it? My thought logic: The bus carries the signal, and it’s logged immediately, so it’s not the bus, but rather it’s whatever is being done with that signal either by the controller to become a command to the relays/dimmer, or by the network to transfer that signal to the relay/dimmer. It’s sporadic and affects multiple dimmers/relays so it’s not a faulty relay/dimmer. That’s my reasoning anyway. Anyone see flaw in my logic or have suggestions on to troubleshoot from here?
  5. @Jobu604 I’m experiencing a similar issue. How did you troubleshoot to discover it was a bus overload issue? I have no idea where to start - have already reset all the devices, the Ethernet bus, and even the controller. Are there any any specific areas in composer you can see messages or troubleshoot to discover the root cause?
  6. Loving all this activity about DMX. Seems the pro way of doing things, and especially intriguing given we can likely control any type of strip from white, CCT, RGBW, RGBWW, and any combination, all off a dmx led controlled linked back to the DMX Engine. I’ve been struggling trying to figure out how to get wireless runs since I don’t like have Ethernet back to the DMX engine in every zone I want to run, and I have a few additional questions I’m hoping to get some guidance on: Couple of questions for those experienced with this: 1) the Domaudeo driver manual shows the controllers running in series out to various zones. Can one just use a switch and send Ethernet to zones in parallel? I assume so, but new so I better ask. 2) is there any wireless / Wi-Fi options out there to get the DMX engine data out to a DMX controller that is too remote / hard to wire directly via Ethernet? 3) is my assumption correct that any combination of strip types can be controlled using this method? Mix and match different strips, just address them properly via DMX?
  7. I have checked and the only two KCB that were removed have their wires wire-nutted together in proper configuration. I have tried powering down the bus, with no change. All keypads are on, circuit is complete, bud not responding to keypad presses.
  8. I am trying to put a wireless keypad dimmer (KD-120) that controls a load in place of an existing configurable wired keypad (C4-KCB). the idea is to run the switch leg from the load to the same electrical wall box that the C4-KCB was in, remove the C4-KCB, and install the KD-120. Then program the KD-120 to control the same things the C4-KCB was controlling in addition to the local load. The first step was removing the existing C4-KCB. Doing so seemed to have broken to the data bus. None of the keypads in the house control loads anymore. They all light up still (LED, backlights) but no buttons work. Some of the buttons have leds still on from the state earlier, and all the back lights work, but no panelized lights are being controlled. does anyone have any ideas? Any special way we are supposed to go about removing an existing C4-KCB to maintain the bus? Electrician is coming by tomorrow to help troubleshoot more. It’s unclear from the keypad bud wiring guide if things are wired in parallel or series. The fact that the power is working and data is not is quite confusing!
  9. What do your guys’ NEEO remote screens look like with Apple TV? I’m getting a standard media player style screen interface with 3 screens - I was hoping for a bit more specific to Apple TV. Also, does anyone know if Neeo can do gestures like the iOS C4 app can?
