Hi I have some pixels hooked up to a SRX1 and the pixels automatically come on all white even with Xlights not loaded and the controller not in test mode. There is nothing going out to the pixel from any software or hardware, yet as soon as power is applied to the SRX1, the pixels come on all white. This is only happening from the first port. When in test mode from the smart receiver, it looks fine and it goes through the colour change as expected. When I hook up another set of lights to the first port, they behave the same (all white). Does anyone have any ideas as i am all out of them?
Lights always on

Is the SRX1 in smart or dumb mode? If the latter, is it connected to the falcon which is set to Smart mode?
Hmm, I have a few receivers that randomly light up pixels when turned on. I just send it some data and they all turn off.

I feel stupid. I found the issue, the Cat 5 cable wasnt plugged in properly and it must have been sending errant messages. Once I pushed it in, it all works fine. Thanks for the help Skymaster and hopefully this helps someone else with the same problem.
Funny I had a CAT5 not plugged in properly yesterday, it was making all the lights do a weird marquee effect. Strangely the two spots on the same receiver were working perfectly. It’s a good reminder to go over the basics regularly.
