Comes up ok on my phone using Firefox.

How to deal with the backup data wire may depend on the exact pixel type. I saw a Ray Wu seed pixel listing just the other day that advised to connect the 2 data wires together at the source.

Hi Dave. Are the engineers still running amok at your place?

60mm vents are back in stock.

Yeah, I don't know why that bug (seems like a bug to me) has never been fixed.

You could put a 3A diode in series with channel one (anode to controller, cathode to +ve of connected load) so that at worst it would output pulsed DC and not reverse polarity whatever you're feeding.

40mm, 60mm and 80mm vents are in stock.

Fused distribution boards are now bwck in stock.

I think I used the block of channels model.

I thought they were Bluetooth? Does it say wi-fi on it anywhere? EDIT: it does appear to be Bluetooth only, so unlikely to have an appropriate module inside.

A rough guide to current carrying capacity is 10 Amps per 1 square mm. So a 2.5mm (cross sectional area, not diameter) wire can carry about 25 Amps. This works well for shorter distances, but beware of voltage drop on longer runs. For 240V power losing a few volts over a 10m run is no big deal...

I'm surprised that it's held up. Have you had any really hot days?

It's 2 wires in (from the transformer) and 3 wires out (to the star) as far as I can see.

I'm not certain that this particular MFC can be easily bypassed. It seems to use a variant of the polarity witching method normally seen with 2 wire light sets.

Power supply brands other than Mean Well may be ok as long as they have data sheets with the relevant information available. I can speak for cold weather (we don't get it where I live), so will leave it to others to comment on that.
