Triggering scenes via UDP

[Amyd]

Hi, it's our first project with the DaliCore so we are probably missing something very basic here, but we are currently trying to prepare a DaliCore to integrate it with a control system via UDP and it doesn't seem to currently work as we expected.

The unit doesn't have the DALI bus commissioned (or powered), however we defined a DMX fixture (virtually) and create two simple scenes with it with different intensities for test purposes. When clicking on the scenes buttons in the Web UI, the intensity of the fixture changes as expected.

However, we can't seem to trigger the same changes via UDP - as far as I see from the user manual, we need to send "core-scene=1" or "core-scene=2" to the unit, which we did, but without any reaction. The unit however responds correctly to "core-hello", sending us back the right answer. The UDP commands are also logged in the Monitor window, just the scene change doesn't actually work.

Thanks in advance for any help/ideas!

So just in case somebody is wondering, my problem was solved thanks to the Visual Productions support. The scene change via UDP works just fine, we just didn't look at the right monitoring page to see it working.

The DaliCore seems to have two small bugs relating to this feature: the Scene page isn't updated when the scene change is triggered via UDP (but one can look i.e. at the DMX Output Monitor and test the changes, this is updated correctly). At the same time the unit doesn't seem to reply via UDP on scene change (as described in the API feedback portion of the user guide). I assume those two problems might be fixed in a future firmware update.

Sorry for the delay to give you an answer via the forum.
thank you for sharing the answer with the forum users.

Those bugs have been reported to the engineers and we will do our best to fix them as soon as possible.
