Residential Use

This is an implementation project using Q Lighting Controller+ by Massimo Callegari. The files here were created in the Q Light Controller+ v.4.10.5 console for fixtures and universe settings. These files are used daily to control lighting in a living room and home-office.
The headless server is running Ubuntu 16.04, Xenial in a virtual box. The local-area-network has two DMXKing eDMX controllers running ArtNet. The fixtures driven by qlcplus are described below.
Once launched in xfvb, the controller is accessible from a desktop, laptop, smart-phone, or tablet by pointing at the IP address for the virtual box on port 9999.
192.168.111.111:9999

171-operational-lr-office-875.qxw — Operational two universe QXW controller file. #171 runs either stand alone in the Q Light Controller console or on a headless server for web-based control. The headless server is started using panel when started with:
xvfb-run qlcplus -w -p -g -o /qlightingPlus/171-operational-lr-office-875.qxw
A larger image is available in the images subdirectory as #221.
In order for the qxw-file to find the fixture details, the referenced fixture-name must be in the directory ~/.qlcplus/fixtures. The fixture name is found within name tags in the fixture file (#133) as:
<Name>Ovation B-2805FC-133-plexLMhome.qxf</Name>
This odd name is used in order to find the controlling file more easily for demonstration purposes, i.e., including #133 in the fixture name. Once completed the fixture's actual name can be used without reference to the source filename.
Port 9999 Created with #171
With separate IP addresses for each of the DMXKing eDMX controllers, each universe can point at its own. These IP addresses can be seen on the office test version of the nearby "Inputs/Outputs" screen. The two eDMX controllers at 192.168.125.144 (Office) and 192.168.125.145 (Living Room) can be seen on the "Inputs/Outputs" entitle, Office Test Configuration -- Nodes, along with the QLC ArtNet interfaces at .141 and .101.
