DMX512 Alternate Start Code=91h - E1.20 RDM (Remote Device Management) Protocol Forums

I should say I am also learning RDM
I have just finished 2 designs, still optimizing them.
.
For sure the forum elders and real field experienced seniors have the right answer for your question.
.
I think RDM is almost like an endless sea, you can always find new features to add and optimize them.
More features means more complexity and hard to maintenance and debug.
.
As in Table A-3 supporting min 9 parameters is mandatory. The rest depends on your requirements.
DMX PERSONALITY is the parameter that can be used creatively to suit your requirements.
As example I used PERSONALITY to select LED/Pixel options of my RGB Pixel Line fixture.
.
I would like to recommend to develop your equipment gradually, start from min required 9 parameters.
Before adding a single bit, absolutely verify your device with RDM Tester Package.
Execute RDM tests regularly at every step of progression of your project.
