71Cuda Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Here is a weird one where I hope I can find help. Set up controller 1 all 16 circuits working perfect yesterday. Today i hook up my tree with the star on top, controller 2 and all 16 circuits used again. That same day I set up a new schedule between 6:00:01PM and 8PM for music and sequence other time frames I have pre programed for the lights to just be on 5:30am-6:00pm 8:00:01PM to 5:30AM Well for the hours with the lights on, the lights will not come on. for the hours where I have music and sequences all the lights work and work fine, but the second the show is over and it's time for the lights to just be on I get nothing. I have reset my computer twice, unplugged #1 controller and plugged back in and I still am getting nowhere. Wifi is strong, went to test the lights and that doesn't even work, Selecting Old unit id and New unit id the signal works fine, I have the RF-V5 modules and both are covered by black trash bags due to slight rain here in AZ coming up.

jtomason Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 What happens if you run the non-musical show on-demand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71Cuda Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 Nothing as well, I just noticed my red light is blinking on my controller so I did what the Wowlights website says to do and hit refresh on the hub but it’s still blinking.

k6ccc Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 This may sound like a dumb question, but what are you doing for the "just lights on" ? If it is a sequence that has the lights on steady from start to finish on a sequence, make this change: Have each channel cycle between two levels (for example, 99% to 100% and back. That forces regular commands to be sent. I you talk about WiFi and ELLs. How are you connected? Since you are apparently running from a computer, what does the LOR status display show? Is the show and sequence running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71Cuda Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 Yes I have a sequence set up for the lights to just be on. I will make this change now and see what happens. connected Wifi with RS-485 adapter LOR status I don’t know where to locate this info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71Cuda Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 The refresh worked finally and it found 1 controller my #2. this is telling me my #1 controller isn’t sending a signal. I will climb in the roof in the AM and see if I knocked something loose. Just weird it was working good with just #1 controller hooked up and then once I plug in #2 controller I have signal issues.

k6ccc Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 When you climb onto the roof, carefully visually inspect the RJ45 connectors on the controllers. You are looking for pins that are out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71Cuda Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Everything looks good, I will be testing it out in 20 minutes and will update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
