Hi guys,

We’ve put all our lights up and they all work through our Advatek controllers but when we try in test mode on XLights only some are coming on. Can anyone help us?

Thanks

Not without a lot more details no-one can.
Have you tried testing directly from the Advatek controllers?
Having mismatched string settings on the controller vs Xlights is probably the most common cause.
Screenshots of the Advatek assistant and Xlights might give some insight.

We have tested them through Advatek and they worked perfectly but once I tested them through xlights only half the house worked. I've attached screenshots of our layouts and setup if that helps.

If you test with the xlights test are the correct elements turning on at the correct channels?
Where does the the change between working and non working occur?
There are some large channel gaps in the Xlights setup tab.

The correct elements do turn on at the correct channels, one side of the house that has the garage doors, mini spinner work but the side with the windows, roof and large spinner don't work. we have three controllers, 1 for the singing trees, 1 for the right side of the house and the last for the left side of the house. I have changed the channels to what they are now because I had a lot of overlaps going. We had a lot of confusion with the set up and outputs/channels etc....

So basically anything on the 3rd controller which in xlights is universe 36, channel 17851 and up to 70:35700 aren't working. Have you confirmed 192.168.0.50 is the correct IP for that controller? Are you able to provide the controller setup? Have you tested it with da_E131 utility?
