Can this work with DMXIS controller? 🤔

[Barnacules]

I have a DMXIS interface for my PC that runs all my DMX equipment but it only supports Art-Net for output, not input. It does however support something called OSC Remote Control whatever the heck that is. I was wondering if your plugin for Home Assistant can work with OSC Remote Control to control this DMXIS or if anyone knows of another solution? I'm not sure if it's their own propriety thing but I'm hoping not. It really sucks that don't support Art-Net for bi-directional communication, it honestly doesn't make sense to me why they wouldn't. I've already tried a few combinations of things with configuration.yaml and had no luck with getting any response from any of the channels.

Here is a screen shot of the settings it gives me for reference. It looks like the OSC Remote Control stuff works on ports 8000 and 9000 for receiving and sending information if that helps. If I would be better off just buying another DMX controller to replace this old crusty thing I'm game so long as it's not too expensive. I'm open to suggestions. This DMX controller will be running on a Windows 11 machine.

There's no plans to implement OSC remote control, but check out OpenLighting, they seem to have something for it.

It would look like this, then:

HA ---ArtNet---> OpenLighting ---OSC---> Your old crusty thing

You're my savior @Breina 👏 Are there any USB DMX controllers that you would recommend that directly support ArtNet in both directions that isn't going to break the bank that is compatible with Windows? I'm getting tired of fighting with this DMXIS. The software looks like it was made for Windows 3.1 and just to install and use the damn thing you have to put in a serial number on a website and get an unlock code in your email box every time you install it which is just dumb. The irony is this interface was like $250 when I got it and was one of the most highly rated interfaces for reliability. But, I've found it to be such a pain in the ass I would actually rather have some instability honestly just to get something easier to manipulate programmatically.

Yeah indeed that does not sound very chill!

I don't directly have any recommendations, but I suggest you ask our little community: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/dmx-lighting/2248

There's a lot of people there, so you're bound to find someone who has a similar setup.
