How should I best implement a dimmer? - E1.20 RDM (Remote Device Management) Protocol Forums

Hello

Thanks for that. It realy helps me a lot asI would not have thought of this.

If I understand this correct then:

Discovery Mute/Unmute needs to report a sub device flag(Bit1) = 1

DEVICE_INFO reports how many sub-devices are present.

SUPPORTED_PARAMTERS reports the paramters for the root (subdevice = 0) device AND if addressed to subdevice x, different paramters as per the subdevice.

For each subdevice, DMX_PERSONALITY / PERSONALITY_DESCRIPTION are then used to set the different modes.

I suppose I then do not need SLOT_DESCRIPTION / SLOT_INFO at all?

Anything else required to make this work for the controllers out there?

Kind regards
Bernt
