Additional McLighting Slave Nodes #466

Open hawk090535 opened 4 years ago

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:

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
