I have Christie 2220 and Doremi DCP-2000 and DCP-2K4. For example: I want to press a Remote button and the lamp will go on.  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 07-17-2014 12:23 PM                     One way is to set up "fire alarm" macros in the Doremi - these are special in that they will run without a playlist loaded: they don't have to have any fire alarm related function. Trigger macros from server gpio (or a Jnior) that do whatever you want.

A NO push button across pins 4 and 9 will shut the lamp off.  |  IP: Logged
