node-red-contrib-artnet-sender v1.0.0

Artnet for NodeRed

This project provides sending of DMX data over multiple universes using Artnet via dmxnet by margau.

Nodes

Universe

Provides access to a universe

Options

• Name the flow visible name
• IPAddress is the IP address of the artnet node to send to. Default is 255.255.255.255 (broadcast)
• Port the Artnet port
• Subnet the Artnet subnet to send to
• Universe the Artnet universe to send to
• Net the Artnet net to send to
• Refresh Interval the refresh interval for sending unchanged DMX values

Output

Provides a place to send Artnet data to.

Options

• Name the flow visible name
• Universe the universe to send to (This is a universe node seen above)

Input Payload

The following is the basic format expected for input to the output node

{
    "payload": {
        "channels": {
            1: {value: 255, fadeTime: 5000}, //The channel 1 to value 255 with a fade time of 5 seconds
            230: {value: 10} //Channel 230 to value 10 with the default fadeTime set below
        },

        "fadeTime": 1000 // The fade time for all channels that don't have a specific fadeTime set
    }
}

Just sending a empty payload will have the node output it's current set channel values in the same format above

However the universe can be also reset to 0 by sending the following

{
    "topic": "reset"
}
