Difference in schedule master vs slave

[gnisten]

Hi.

After upgrading to last firmware on my beloved 4 mitras LX 6100, i have problems when the lamps shuts of at the end of the lightning schedule at night. The masterlamp seemes to shut off a couple of minutes later than the 3 slave lamps ? I dont have time difference enabled, only simulation difference for clouds passing. I have tried to adjust the time, and save this setting, but the problem consists.
The time is equal and correct on all 4 lamps...

Hello,

so you have already updated all Mitras to 1.07?

If yes, please proceed as follows:

Make a factory reset for all lamps
Make the settings once again

-> does it solve your problem?

I am having a very similar issue. I have three lamps and have set them up for a sunrise effect where the lamp on the right should start first, followed by the center lamp and finally the lamp on the left. The lamp on the right starts first as it should, followed by the lamp on the left 10 minutes later. The center (Master) lamp starts after the lamp on the left. There is a 2 minute delay between the lamp on the left and the center lamp.

I checked my settings multiple times and the lamp on the right should start first followed by the center lamp and lastly the lamp on the left. I also performed a factory reset for all three of my lamps.

I have a 10 minute delay programmed RIGHT -10 | CENTER (at 0) | LEFT +10. When the lamp on the left starts the center lamp starts approximately 1 minute later.

I also have a sunset effect programed which works perfectly.

Note, all lamps have been updated to firmware version 1.07 and I am using GCC version 1023.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Your settings Right -10 / Center / Left +10 seem to be correct, the whole sunrise should last about 20 minutes.
Please check if the left and middle lamp have been mixed up. It seems that the left lamp is the master and the
middle lamp is the slave. Please check also if the time shift for the lamp that starts already a minute later is
accidentally set to +1 instead of +10. This could explain this behaviour.

Here are the screen shots. The only difference from what I stated above is the following. When I did the factory reset I changed my settings to start 7 minutes ahead of and after the master lamp. I am also experiencing the problem with the lamps during the sunset effect. At sunset the lamp on the right turns off first, followed by the lamp on the left and about a minute or two later the center lamp turns off. Above, I originally stated that Sunset was working perfectly.

I hope this helps to troubleshoot the problem.

Isn't there supposed to be a different address for each light?

No, the master lamp controls the others and they all need to be on the same channel.

As far as I know channel has to be the same, but address must be different...

Give that man a prize! Dave you were right. Problem solved! Thank you!!!

Each lamp, while on the same channel, has to have a different address. The master will be set as #1, followed by the first slave as #2 (on the right) and the second slave (on the left) as #3.

Had a similar problem, only the master was out of sync with the two slaves, and yes all three addresses were set to 1. Fixed and back to perfect!
