I made this mistake, does the controller ID# match the ID# that is assigned to the controller in Aurora. Check under bulk editor
If the unit ID is set at 2 then when you check the bulk editor the ID should match Hope this helps If you have the HW utility open can you turn the lights on ?? Edited by mramsey - 12 Nov 2008 at 8:11am |

Forgive the basic descriptions if you already know this information.
Use your hardware utility program to determine which device number your controller is on. This is done through the Discover tab on D-lights hardware utility (I'm sure LOR has something similar if your using LOR controllers) Open HWU, Connect to the controller, the flashing red lights will go solid, and open the discover tab and click Discover. It will come up with a number on the left side. The default is 2 if you have never changed it. Once you know that number, you have to change the device number on your channels in aurora to match that number. The device number for your channels must match the device number set in the controller. This is how you can use multiple controllers. You change the controller Device number to match your Aurora device number. I have 4 controllers numbered 1-4. That way each group of 16 channels has a different address. The device number is the address. |

DO you have the right controller type set in Aurora? D-light, LOR, etc.
When turn on the light bulb and click play, is the blinking light going solid? Edited by ChrisL1976 - 12 Nov 2008 at 8:21am |
