Hi,
why the triggers not getting activated on the set time ? is DINA-DR2-LITE compatible to work with ESA Pro 2 ?

Hello,

Thank you for posting here.
Of course, DINA-DR2-lite works just fine with ESAPro2. However, you seem to be using an older version of ESAPro2, judging by this screen capture.

Please download the latest version of our software (today the latest version is the Beta one), here : https://www.nicolaudie.com/en/esapro2.htm
And let us know if the issue persists with this version.

You will also need to insure that your device's internal clock is set to the right time.

Hope this helps.
Best regards,

hi,
i tried same settings with Beta version too but again triggers not working. The hardware clock and software both are set correctly. Seems something very basic setting i may be missing...

My dina-dr2-lite is powered by usb. also have ethernet connection to it. anything especial i need to do to put it in stand alone mode ? i normally close the application after the setup and writing to memory.

Hello,

Can you send your project file in a zip archive file ?
I'm thinking this might be caused by an issue with the internal clock of your device. You may need to open your device with Hardware Manager and use it to make sure the internal clock is set to the right time.

Regards,

zip file attached...

THank you, I'll look into it. Have you had the chance to check the internal clock ?

Regards,

yes i checked using hardware manager application to set internal clock

Hello,

I have looked at your show and it seems that your first device (the network connected one) contains 2 triggers :
- ON Sunset (plus 10mn), DO start scene WHITE
- ON Sunrise (minus 2 hours), DO blackout-On

This will create an issue : Blackout creates a "black overlay" over the currently playing scenes. It doesn't stop them. So what happens after that is that your "WHITE" scene keeps playing behind the blackout overlay, but you can't see it. All values are set to 0 (forced to black).

The second device (USB) contains 2 different triggers :
- ON Sunset, DO start scene WHITE
- ON Sunrise (minus 2 hours), DO start scene BLACKOUT

This should work much better, though...

Which of those two configurations have you actually tested ?

Regards,

interesting...so it can save different trigger when connected via usb vs ethernet ?

i like to keep the usb profile though

Hello,

Yes, you can. If you wish to keep both USB and Ethernet, you might want to just give them the same triggers to both devices.

Regards,

ok it works now...seems the conflicting triggers were the cause of it. i removed all triggers from usb and kept only on ethernet connection.
