Binary Lighting Control
Proves remote fixture control by sending binary Art-Net or DMX frames through Data Network.

What this demo proves
The platform can carry raw lighting-control payloads from a web or script publisher into a hardware or bridge receiver, which is one of the strongest demonstrations of remote control and binary transport in real installation workflows.

Run online
- Open the browser lighting control surface and connect with a valid API key.
- Run the Node Art-Net bridge against demo.lighting.dmx or demo.lighting.artnet.
- Send DMX frames from the browser to the bridge and fixture output.
Run locally
- Publish a binary frame from a browser or Node control surface.
- Receive the payload with an ESP32, Arduino bridge, or Node lighting bridge.
- Write the bytes to a fixture or universe output.
Expected output
- Lighting data arrives as raw binary payloads rather than wrapped JSON objects.
- A receiving bridge can forward the exact frame to Art-Net or DMX output hardware.
Troubleshooting
- Validate the content type and binary frame length before debugging fixture output.
- Confirm the receiver bridge is subscribed to the same canonical lighting channel.

Live binary control surface
Use this browser publisher with the Node Art-Net bridge to drive a real fixture or lighting node from the demo platform.
Binary Lighting Demo
Browser DMX publisher
Publish a binary DMX frame from the browser to demo.lighting.dmx, then let the Node bridge forward it to an Art-Net fixture or node.
Use the controls below to publish a DMX frame.
