Hi, is there any information on the range for this?

aqua_digital

range is subjective depending on the location of both devices and wall structure, for example in line of sight just as with a router it could be as much as 100 meters but go stick a concrete steel framed wall in the way and it could be as little as 10 meters.

it uses the same frequency as a router so you can pretty much judge its range based on that. Routers for the same reason do not typically publish a range either.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if it was the same as the vortech controller or actual wifi.

Thank you for the response. I'm currently residing in Australia, so it looks like I will need to try and speak to my local distrubutor.

I'm just wondering when this card might be released into the wild??

I assume that the hardware is not the problem and ready to be shipped. For sure GHL is working on full software ability and stability within the PL platform.

Matthias replied yesterday on one of my inpatient posts in the German part of the forum.

As I posted my assumption here in this thread earlier, the hardware is ready. The delay is in the software.

GHL is working on 4 at once so the wireless card can work correctly in the whole system. The Mitras FW, the PL FW and the PC SW PLC vers. 6.00 and a new version of the Mitras control center !!!! By Matthias words, this will be done in two weeks from now.

Further the card should go in to shipping on the 4. November.

One can say it's taking to long. But honestly?!! I can't even imagine how much and complicated work this is!? We all want a reliably working system, aren't we?

I think that GHL should do just one thing better!
Carefully determine the time of information release about a new hardware release!!!! With the PLC-PWC it's not the first time a product was announced way to early.

Please understand that in USA Canada it will likely be late December early January as it has to tie in with our regular monthly orders, our November order will not include these items as the order has already been processed.

My anticipation is to release to the USA and Canada for January.

Come on - we have now just 6 pre-orders for this "highly-demanded" product!

Please tell me that all the work for the hardware and changes in firmware of ProfiLux and Mitras and additions in the ProfiLuxControl-software was not a complete waste of time!

I've been asking the Australian distributor for weeks if we can pre-order this and have had zero response from them.

I would love to place a order through your store, but can't as I'm outside of the EU.

I will have to wait until the local distributor actually gets back to me before I can order.

That's a SWEET deal.
I do have one question about the wireless card. Does the card goes in the P3 or is it installed in Mitras itself?
Also if you have more than one Mitras do you require extra cards?
Sorry for the stupid question....

aqua_digital
03.11.2013, 23:40
goes into the profilux and one card communicates with the master, so you only need one card.

We are very proud to tell you, that ProfiLux Control 6 is completely renewed and got the Light Composer from GHL Control Center.
You will be able to load Mitras *.lpc files in the new version of ProfiLux Control and easily set up the Illumination with ProfiLux Control.
The ProfiLux Computer will work as master and control all your Mitras lamps (they should be set to slave mode).
The thunderstorm synchronisation between ProfiLux and Mitras is also implemented.
Each Illumination channel can be separately controlled and set up directly from ProfiLux Control.
You can also use our smartphone apps to manually control the brightness of each channel.

New versions of profilux control, profilux and mitras firmware will be available to download within a short time.

Denis, does this mean that we can not get full benefit of the wireless card until we have PC 6. if so, when is PC6 expected.

Thanks.

Is there a manual (english) on how to utilize the wireless control? I installed my car into my 3.1 today and set all my Mitras to slave. Now the three Mitras have a completely different light pattern than before I added the card. I opened up 6.0.1 and went into light composer. My same project is loaded up in the light composer tab, but even after pressing save the Mitras aren't replicating the light program. Any suggestions?

please create a new thread for a new topic and give us there some more details (e.g. firmware mitras + ProfiLux)
we don't want to mix topics
