found a solution?

The twinkly app will show it or you can use the discover controllers option in xlights to try and find it automagically.

You could run it as a virtual machine or they do support running it natively on a Mac, but the easiest way is to run it on a Pi or other supported single board computer.

you have to do two things: 1. don't use the mobile app at the same time adn 2. Make sure you're outputting to all lights in a group at the same time, if they are grouped. The primary light will shut off streaming to the others if you don't.

easy fix. Go into the model settings and there's a setting for handling white. Tell it to ignore the white channel.

Where do I find this setting? Cannot find it in X Lights? @@LightsOfElberfeld

@@ericsd05 you won't see if it you're grouped with a rgb device because it's automatically turned off. When you are on a specific device though, and it's rgbw, you will have a second slider under color when editing an effect. Sliding it all the way to the left turns off the white channel.

Hi, did you ever solve this issue? I am having the same problem. Thank you in advance

Im receiving the same error. It's possible the latest firmware of Twinkly is no longer compatible. But I would like to know if this error can be fixed. I see the green connection light in Xlights so it can ping the controller, but I can't get a sequence to output as I do receive this same error.

I’m having this issue also. I’m trying to use iOS and tried it on 2 different macs. Thought it may be an iOS issue

I finally got mine working! Not sure exactly what I did except updating my iOS to the latest version

I’ve only tested with Gen 2 on the latest. But the software is free so maybe give it a go with xLights and check.

That’s a tough question! I would suggest finding a “beginners” kind of thing as networking can get complex pretty quickly!

Depending on how many people need it I may look at doing either a video or series on networking for holiday light shows.

@@johncoles Thanks for the quick reply John!!

@@johncoles Thats what I am looking for. Maybe with a DIG-Quad controller or Falcon f16 V3 or V4. Good Video

@john Coles hi there thanks for this informative video . I’m looking to do the same but using twinkly pro do you have any experience in this please ?

There's a few options: 1) You could guestimate it. 2) You could manually build a model. 3) You could use xLights to generate a custom model from a video/photo: manual.xlights.org/xlights/chapters/chapter-five-menus/tools/generate-custom-model#:~:text=The%20Generate%20Custom%20Model%20function,option%20from%20the%20Tools%20menu.

@@johncoles You could also import the model. Apparently you weren't aware but you can pull the models in through an import from controller button in the custom model's "model data" section.

@@LightsOfElberfeld I had tried that before I did this video but I couldn't seem to get it to work. There have been a lot of releases of Xlights since then though! Good to know its an option.

@@johncoles that is true. It was importing in the beginning but it was buggy and upside down at first.

@@johncoles it could be imported then, but even now, the button is hidden inside the model layout data. It was originally importing upside down but that was fixed pretty quickly.

Thank you! You can either find it on your router or in the Twinkly app under "Devices" (little LED icon in the bottom right) then tap the settings cog on the one you want to use and the details will be shown for you.

@@johncoles you don't need to do that either. Twinkly lights show up when you click "discover" in the network tab.

Socratias 🤣 legend

Why your watching these vids

@@levi5918 why wouldn't I This is golden content

@@socratias True hahaha

If you are ever Curious, the Position is called, "Entertainment Stage Technician" and you should study brand names and disney tactics. Brands such as Clay Paky, Vari-Lite and PRG are used in this show so take time to understand how moving profiles work and then you'll get an understanding of what it takes to work here. :)

Gabe Valliere thank you! I’ll try to get it somewhere in a couple years or more

Mike Koolkid Another tip is to start of learning brands like ETC (Electronic Theater Controls) to learn the foundations with their consoles and then learn ones like GrandMA which are the consoles World of Color, Fantasmic, and Fireworks use. As you will need to understand how to use these consoles. Knowing the fixtures is one thing but understanding how to control the fixtures is the most important part of the job!

@@gabevallieredesign u work at Disney?

@@johncoles how long would that take (just asking)

@@johncoles okay thanks 👌
