DMX and Light groups

[frank lemmens]

Hello, does anyone know how or if I can configure lightgroups for DMX channels?

I have two DMX channels (ledstrips)  that I want to configure as one LG but I can not see how this can be done. For normal tree lights this is very straightforward but the option does not show up  for DMX actors.

best regards,

Frank

Caveat I'm not familiar with Tree lights. In Dali lightgroups make sense as the fixture itself is programmed to respond to the group address. DMX on the other hand does not have the concept of groups, you can replicate it by programming the two fittings to respond to the same DMX address but many cases this is not possible, e.g. a dimmer module will generally sequentially number channels from a single configurable start address. 

DMX is a relatively high baud rate vs Dali so I've not found it an issue in practice to just keep devices on their own address and use config to drive them both together. Assuming you're using the Lighting Controller block it's generally trivial to have one controller "Lighting Circuit" feed two DMX devices. (limitation is if one is standard and the other a Smart device for some reason)

Thanks, I still  think it is strange that there is no documentation on LG functionality combined with DMX by Loxone.

I use Lighting Controller blocks and as you mentioned and for DMX  each lightsource has its own address. This works perfect for automation but in the loxone app, when you want to control it manually, you see two individual control buttons. Is there a way to alter (combine)  this? For multicolor leds this possibility exists but this does not work in this case.
