Hi guys! I'm really a novice in this field, so be patient with me if i might say stupid things.

I have a little problem. I've installed the McLighting v.2.2.5 as described in the wiki.
I would like to control four Mclighting nodes in sync, each one connected to its strip.
I did the steps showed in this @toblum video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lryDPMA2qpY

  • opened the browser digiting <McLighting_Host_name>/index2.htm
  • option icon >> Additional McLighting Slave Nodes (experimental) >> typed in "McLighting HOSTNAME that I want to chain" >> SAVE
  • McLighting connected +1 appears in the upper right corner

but i've been able to control only the McLighting Host opened in the browser.

How can i do?

Thanks for sharing this beautiful project!

Hi @hawk090535,

this is indeed not very reliable due to the way the ESPs respond to the calls made by the browser. That's why I didn't go further with that function.
But that only one node works looks strange to me. Would the other nodes work separately?
Did you have a look at the browser console? Any erros there?

Apart from that: I you use some kind of home automation software like Node red, you may be able to control many nodes with one frontend using scripts there.

Best regards
Tobias
