Anybody use DMX on Kincony A24's RS485 on EspHome in Home Assistant? - KRende - 10-15-2024
Good day. Has anybody set up DMX on Kincony A24's RS485 in EspHome in Home Assistant? I tried installing the Github add-in at https://github.com/andyboeh/esphome-dmx512, but I'm a beginner and haven't gotten it to work so far. The Kincony's input and outputs work fine, but I don't know how to proceed. I've put this in the Kincony's Yaml file, and the logger reports the value being sent to DMX_1, but my fixture's DMX indicator doesn't come on, so I don't even know if I wired it correctly. Anyway, here are the Yaml settings:
uart:
id: uart_bus
tx_pin:
number: 33
allow_other_uses: true # For ESPHome >= 2023.12.0
baud_rate: 250000
stop_bits: 2
dmx512:
id: dmx
uart_id: uart_bus
tx_pin:
number: 33
allow_other_uses: true # For ESPHome >= 2023.12.0
uart_num: 1
periodic_update: true
update_interval: 500
output:
- platform: dmx512
channel: 1
universe: dmx
id: dmx_1
light:
- platform: monochromatic
name: "Test Lights"
output: dmx_7
id: light_test
default_transition_length: 2s

which DMX512 controller you are using? can you take a photo.

I want to use the Kincony A24 as the controller, so it needs to transmit.
