pyromill Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Some of the folks here may remember a power strip sized LOR controller that had 6 channels which looked like it was made for indoor only use. I waited and waited for Dan to release it, alas it never happened. However in thinking about things tonight I just have to think. Will we ever have a small controller for say our indoor Christmas tree, The "candles" in the windows? Myself I have been thinking about buying a pc kit as they are cheap and simply ditching the on board triacs.. connecting cat5 to the triggers and running something as simple as bell wire around to connect to tiny little boxes that can control 1-4 channels. Of which also control our Christmas tree so something as simple as rgb or sorts can be controlled and shut off when the show quits, and maybe even left with a so called after hours indoor only show with the candles in the window left on till morning. My curious question is though for lor crew .. any plans at a say 4 channel or daisy chan controller? like 2 channels per box chain up to just say 8 for 16 total chans? To everyone else... Has anyone used a lor board other than the dio32 to have multiple channels at various spots only running a low voltage cable to control the triacs so there is not MASSES of extension cords running all over your home ?

Steven Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 There was a rumor that next month (July 2011) LOR will announce some new products, perhaps including a 4-channel low power (LED only) controller that will receive communication over a power line (Power Line Communication, PLC). This could greatly reduce the number of extension cords I use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
