Thanks for your great work! Really looking forward for multiple fade at the same time 
Unfortunately I also canât get it running. The logs say âno module named pyartnetâ.
Iâm using your latest version (16:22)
edit: log screenshot
Strange - it seems that the required library has not been installed from pypi.
Maybe you can edit the component and set the â>=â in Line 22 to â==â?
I donât know if this helps but Iâve again looked at the docs and I am doing everything as described âŚ
That did the trick for me! Thanks a lot, everything works like a charm. Also the dimming curves are really nice
hello i have had a problem installing too
Home Assistant
0.81.2
can you help?

Hi!
I have an Art-Net dimmer with 16-bit resolution: https://www.shop.dmx4all.de/en/dmx4all-products/led-dimmer/dmx-led-constant-voltage-dimmer/dmx-led-dimmer-x9hr.html
It uses two consecutive 8-bit channels to get one 16-bit âchannelâ in big-endian.
Myself Iâm a c++ programmer without any knowledge about python. It would be great if you could implement such a 16-mode, otherwise could you give a hint how I should begin to hack something (surely not of quality for a pull-request :-)).
@livewild1988: Seems like you configured something strange for your IP Address.
@jandar: Iâll see what I can do.Maybe I can provide an update in the next couple of weeks.
i was using wrong file my mistake all working now
Hi all,
I am quite new to the forum (using HA already for a longer time) so please forgive if this question belongs somewhere else 
I have installed the Sacemanspiff2007 plugin and most is working so far, starts without any errors. Great work!!
I have one major problem, i canât figure out how to connect my ARTNET node (fixed to 2.0.0.1 IP) to my homenetwork. HA is on 192.168.10, connected to a router and the node is broadcasting to 2.255.255.255, also connected to the same router. Btw, I have this node.
Whatever i try, i canât get it working. It looks like this specific node doesnât have an IP at all. Does someone know how to properly configure this?
Many thanks for your answers. 
Hello @Maarten ,
I think you need to change the Ip address of the node. In the picture you can see that its possible
Hi @rubendijk,
Many thanks for you quick reply! It is a bit confusing, but this screenshot is a screenshot of Freestyler (DMX) software and not from a webinterface. It doesnât seem possible at all to change the ip of this device 
if you are unable to change the ip address you can make a route in your router so the router knows that there is something on the 2.x.x.x range. for more info you should search on routing table
Hello @Maarten,
Sorry, its indeed to set the IP of the software program.
Maybe this is something: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Em6VX4d5Zeo
set the ip address of the computer to the same range of the art-net node
PC ip 2.0.0.2
subnet 255.0.0.0
default gateway 2.0.0.1
then open the internet browser and try to connect to the node (2.0.0.1)
i think there must be a settings or config page to change the ip address of the art-net node to your home network range.
installed the component on a fresh hassio install 0.84.4 and â==â didnât work â>=â did work.
Updated hass-dmx to add support for WWCW lights (warm white, cool white) with tunable temperature. This has had support for parallel fades for some time, was just a bug that this wasnât working.
Note file should be called light.py in the dmx folder now instead of dmx.py in the light folder.
I must give @spaceman_spiff 's component a go (I hadnât seen this thread until today)

@jandar Home Assistantâs brightness value is stored as 0-255 - so probably couldnât get any higher resolution control than currently available. Or do you just want to have the same 0-255 resolution of control but compatible with your dimmer?
My dimmer can be used with normal single-channel or with double-channel values. So the compatibility isnât a problem. At very low brightness the steps from 0 to 1 to 2 are too coarse grained. I plan to use a few red LEDs as night lights but even at brightness value 1 (8-bit setup of the dimmer) this is too bright for my dark-adapted eyes.
I would like the larger range of 0-65535 for brightness values. If this doesnât fly, a kind of gamma-curve to get more resolution at low brightness would be an expedient improvement.
That would need to be a request and changes to all the light platforms to switch to a 16 bit brightness value.
I could add a light profile where you could use the colour temperature slider in HA as the fine control channel instead of adjusting colour temp. But itâs a bit nasty. Alternatively could add a service to take a 0-65535 value which you could use an input slider or scenes to set the high resolution value
Iâve just added a custom_white light type which you can use âchannel_setupâ to specify what each channel should be.
You could use channel_setup: dT so the brightness will control the coarse dimming then the temperature slider can control the fine dimming.
Awesome to see how your DMX components are improving. Have you guys thought about a pr to integrate it into ha? Maybe merge the best of both
Iâve been using it everyday for 3 months now without any noticable flaws. Pretty sure many people would love to see it as a native part of homeassistant.
Thx for your work!
The component works, but after restart, all my RGB-lights is set to a blue colour, the forst time i activate any DMX light, they revert if the get sent a new light value, but am i doing something strange? Is it possible to set default brightness for RGBs as well?
