ok thanks for the quick reply.
I am looking for a way to control dmx lights with HA on a Pi without the need for a big art-net node, as i need a compact setup.
For now we’ve only got light entities. So you’re able to control your strobe/zoom with additional light channels or a separate dimmer light, but not with a number with a slider.
I just bought LED strip using UCS512G6 chip which is DMX512 using RGBWW up t 32kHz and 16Bit colors.
Any Art-Net controllers for Ethernet to suggest to buy in EU , that are also compliant with my LED strip chip and with this add-on for home assistant ?
Hi Friends! I Have a Question, maybe you can give me a tip for me. I have 70 lamps in my house with Tuneable White, so thats 140 DMX Channels. Has anybody an idea to geht this in Homeassistant? Now i use Nodered with Ulrich Radig Artnet node. Its Working, but not best… Fading not so smooth. I want to change to Homeassistant because i think the UI is very good and i can include Nodered for difficult problems Thanks!!!
I think any compliant one should do. The Art-Net node doesn’t care about how many bits per colour, or what frequency the led driver uses. It should all work. Personally I went with an ENTTEC one, so that I could mount it on my DIN rail.
Hello! I bought a Pknight bi-directional ArtNet Controller CR011R and I want to replace it with the current Enttec Open DMX USB Interface. Can you help me with the steps for a noob? If it is possible step by step and without having another computer turned on like I have now, on which the Art-Net to DMX program is running, through which I give dmx to the boards. HA runs on a mini pc and has ip 192.168.89.10 and I set the controller to ip 192.168.89.09 and the rooter is mikrotik. Thank you very very much!!!
How does this other computer currently output to DMX? Could you run the same ArtNet to DMX software on your mini-pc?
I don’t know of a HA integration that sends DMX through USB, it’s not a standard and every brand has its own specification. Currently ha-artnet-led supports ArtNet, sACN and KiNet v1.
You could try to running Open Lighting Architecture | as an integration layer, which supports the ENTTEC USB interface, so you may be able to run that on your mini-pc. It would look like this, then:
I succeeded, but still from the other PC on which I have windows, now I use DMX-Workshop!
I want to get rid of the second PC that works 24/24! I want some script in python to run or some integration to give dmx to the boards… so that I don’t have two computers running 24/24
Thank you very much
I have 102 channels! Everything is OK
But I didn’t find how to get rid of the DMX-Workshop program in your integration, or rather I don’t know how to do it, I’m too noob.
