It's working that way.Yes.The HWU isn't intended to turn on all controllers at once. Rather it's main function is testing and verification of controllers and your network. It's also used to update the firmware on the controllers and a few other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Tim,You'll probably get a better feel for this one if you read the thread from the top. I could summarize, yeah, but that would be no fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a place where you had him try some stuff, and then it started working (but one controller at a time, obviously. Just curious what went wrong there that was corrected.No worries though.

TJ Hvasta Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Tim, the Control Panel was loaded (tho disabled), blocked the Com port from controlling the lights thru the HU. Once the computer was rebooted, and the CP not loaded, the com port was free to light 'em up. The OP didnt know to select each individual controller to test.

Although I use the HWU with the Control panel loaded/shows disabled all the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
