sACN not working #38

Closed BenJamesAndo closed 1 year ago

BenJamesAndo commented 1 year ago

Hello. I have some DMX lights that are controllable via an ENTECC ODE Mk2 controller which supports either Art-net or sACN. I've been using ha-artnet-led with art-net for over a year and it's been great. I'm wanting to switch to sACN as another program that I want to use on occasions only supports sACN. Having switch the controller to sACN I can get two different lighting software to control it. However with ha-artnet-led nothing happens.

I've tried setting it to the wrong universe and sure enough ha-artnet-led entities go offline. However when everything is configured correctly I can adjust the lights in HA but nothing happens. Checking the logs in the ODE Mk2 controller and it's not getting any data packets received. I've even tried using a fresh install of HA and setting it all up from scratch. Any ideas on how I can get this to work?

Below is my config. I can't see any error logs in HA.

Thanks for the good bug report!

Don't have time at this moment to investigate, give me a bit so that I can replicate. I will try to do this this in the weekend.

If you've set it up from scratch, without retaining the old light entities, there's definitely something wrong code-wise.

My ENTTEC device has a bug that makes it ignore the last few (up to 5) bytes of a sACN packet, so it's a good idea to set send_partial_universe: False. Raised this issue to them half a year ago, I requested an update from them.

Well that's convenient that you have the same branded device as me. I tried with send_partial_universe: False but it didn't make any difference.

Unfortunately my device reached end of life support last year so even if ENTTEC did fix the bug your reported I doubt I'd get it in a firmware update.

We were using a bad default port for sACN. If you use port: 5568, then it does work.

Changed the default port of sACN to reflect this, will release in a bit.

Alright v0.1.12 is up for you. Please test. :)

Thanks for this. Tested and works great now!
