Thanks again ... I didn't know there wasn't any built-in OFF for an effect, but I have noticed that my RGB items are often left on at the end of each sequence, so I figured I should add a short interval at the end to send an OFF or something. I think I had set both effects to "None" and then put that into all models at the end. Is that better or worse than doing a color wash to black ?
Let me explain.
Since we import sequences from lor,vixen,lsp , people waht those imported channels to show when they play a show from xlights.
For examplke you have channels 1-1000 sequenced in LOR.
You import them in to xlights. You now add a megatree from 2000-4000 channel.
We only have the model you made for the megatree, what about the first 1000 channels? They are there, you just dont see them.
"None,None" means no nutcracker effect will be generated. whatever was stored in memory is still there.
"None,None" does NOT mean to blank out the data.
If you want to actually turn off the lights set a colorwash with 1 color=BLACK.
Next year we will redo this as it has confused many people.
using either xlights or pi player there is an option to turn all lights off at the end of a sequence.
I created a 1 second sequence that has all channels (24,000 in my case), and set them to colorwash with BLACK. Now i schedule this "All lights off" sequence and everything turns off.
