S6 not running old ctb16d controllers

We can find all nine controllers with the hardware utility but when running a sequence only a few controllers work but not correctly.

HU uses a very slow speed for its functions. (ignores the network speed setting)

Are you exceeding the SPEED limitations of older (<=Gen2) Controllers or have set ELOR mode on (some devices do not support ELOR).

We took my laptop with s4 loaded and everything works now but we need s6 to work. Connected to the laptop that checks our network and controllers. So it tells me it's something in s6 or in the preview. We turned the speed down to the same as s4. S6 will control lights in the hardware utility but not in a sequence with control lights on.

Thanks for the help turning off the ELOR looks like a fix. Thanks

Now is the time to split your networks (those w/ELOR and w/o ELOR devices) or Just get rid of A ELOR roadblock device

I'm running four networks with over 100 16 Channel controllers the old AC Channel controllers.

You got it covered 👍  , just remember the 32 device maximum (the dongle is 1 device)

I was thinking you had some newer stuff that needed ELOR, therefore having the split would be a benefit.

I take up around 3 acres. This is it's 19th season. The most on one network is 34 controllers and the least is 9 controllers. It has worked flawless with versions pre S5/S6.  I'm pessimistic moving to S6 was a good move but after this season I'm confident I will change my mind.
