RJ,
I don't know if you have thought about this before but adding a timer to the controller so if it stop receiving signals from the application that it ramps all of the lights down to zero. I know this was added to the renard firmware sometime back. It would help if a show gets stopped in the middle so the light don't just stay on till someone notices.

That's what most DMX stage dimmer packs do and is a handy feature. In my DMX receiver code, I usually have all channel drop to zero (no fade - too lazy to code that) when DMX has disappeared for more than 10 seconds I think.

I have been doing it for years as in my first dmx controller had it. do a search on "Kiwi Protocol" but it does not work with wireless since they always get dms.

RJ, can you expand on that? (I assume you meant DMX not dms?)
