Additional McLighting Slave Nodes
hawk090535 opened this issue · comments
Hi guys! I'm really a novice in this field, so be patient with me if i might say stupid things.
I have a little problem. I've installed the McLighting v.2.2.5 as described in the wiki.
I would like to control four Mclighting nodes in sync, each one connected to its strip.
I did the steps showed in this @toblum video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lryDPMA2qpY
- opened the browser digiting <McLighting_Host_name>/index2.htm
- option icon >> Additional McLighting Slave Nodes (experimental) >> typed in "McLighting HOSTNAME that I want to chain" >> SAVE
- McLighting connected +1 appears in the upper right corner
but i've been able to control only the McLighting Host opened in the browser.
How can i do?
Thanks for sharing this beautiful project!
Hi @hawk090535,
this is indeed not very reliable due to the way the ESPs respond to the calls made by the browser. That's why I didn't go further with that function.
But that only one node works looks strange to me. Would the other nodes work separately?
Did you have a look at the browser console? Any erros there?
Apart from that: I you use some kind of home automation software like Node red, you may be able to control many nodes with one frontend using scripts there.
Best regards
Tobias
