Multi-segment UDP sync via IR remote

Issues
8

I probably should be banned from this forum! The issue actually lied in my cfg.json settings –
I was directly editing the file (rather than using the browser’s Sync Interface), and it turns out that I had overlooked the "btn":true requirement for the sender! None of the naïve hackery I proposed in the previous posts was necessary at all! Don’t do it! It’s heresy!

Bottom line… multi-segment UDP sync works like a CHAMP with v0.13.1 … just get your Sync Interface settings right! Here are mine:

  • Sender cfg.json settings

    "if":{
  "sync":{
    "port0":21324,"port1":65506,
    ...
   "send":{
     "dir":true,"btn":true,"va":false,"hue":true,"macro":false,"twice":true,"grp":1
   }
 },

    … you may ignore the Philips Hue setting…

  • Receiver cfg.json setings

    "if":{
  "sync":{
    "port0":21324,"port1":65506,
    "recv":{
      "bri":true,"col":true,"fx":true,"grp":1,"seg":true,"sb":true
    },
    ...
  },

  • For illustration, the combined web interface settings for receiver (red) and sender (green)

I’m currently running “stress” tests, but I think this issue should be closed…
