How to send commands to the Madrix Plexus

Hello,

Could you please assist me on trying to remotely control the scenes already uploaded to a Madrix Plexus which control a set of RGB lights.

I would like to integrate the Madrix with a Lutron Homewoks QS system and for what I have read there are two options

1. Configure a DMX IN interface with a 4/channel remote control commands and use one of the Madrix ports to change the channel values

2. Configure a remote ArtNet interface using also a set of commands, 4 for example, and remotely use the defined commands to change the channels parameters [using port 6454 ?]


But i do not know the type of commands that Madrix is expecting !?


Thanks in advance.

Hello Jony,
Welcome to the MADRIX forum.
.
You can control the stored scenes of the PLEXUS remotely in different ways:
.
1.) You can control the PLEXUS remotely via DMX input. Therefor you have to configure the PLEXUS. Please navigate to "Remote Control > Remote Options" at the PLEXUS. In the Remote Options please choose DMX at the "Receive via" line. Under "On universe" you can choose DMX port 1 or DMX port 2. If you want to use DMX input for remote control a DMX connection from a desired console is necessary.
.
2.) You can also use a Art-Net remote control connection. If you want to use this you have to change the settings in the PLEXUS "Remote Options". Please change the "Receive via" to Art-Net and then select a desired universe at the "On universe" line.
When the Art-Net remote option is selected you will need a Art-Net sender which sends the data to the PLEXUS.
.
3.) You can use the PLEXUS iPad or iPhone App. This App is available for free on the AppStore. Please note: If you want to control the PLEXUS via iPad or iPhone please make sure that the PLEXUS and your mobile device is connected to the same WiFi network.
.
4.) The PLEXUS provides furthermore the possibility to control it remotely by using the "Extension Port".
In this link you will find more information about the "Extension Port": http://help.madrix.com/m3/html/plexus/i ... _port.html
