Connecting Mitras to ProfiLux?

[bluprntguy]

Ok, so I have my ProfiLux set up for a month or two. It works so well, I decided to buy a Mitras LX7, which is now installed and running. I added the Mitras to my GHL account and onto the app as a separate device. I set up the multichannel control in the light itself using the app.

It‘s all working, but I notice that there is identical light control in the ProfiLux. The light settings also show on the ProfiLux screen, but they are always set to zero since I set the multichannel control in the light. The ProfiLux screen is actually more visible than the screen on the Mitras in my set-up, so it would be preferable if I could set the ProfiLux to control the Mitras instead of having them separate. I haven’t been able to locate any directions on how to do this. Is this possible or is the way I have it set up the only (or maybe the best) way?

Maybe @Ditto can help?

You have to purchase the PLM-PWC card and install it in your Profilux to control the Mitras via the Profilux. It allows the Profilux to act as the master light and then set the Mitras to slave.

Use this expansion to wirelessly connect your Mitras LX lights to a ProfiLux 3 or 4 – for more flexibility and a clean cable-free setup.

Thanks. I think I saw that somewhere, but it sounded like it was only for the ProfiLux 3.

Question on using the Mitras LX7. What am I getting with a PWC card vs using the Mitras as is? Is the control via GHL app only allowed with the PWC card? Thx

PWC expansion card allows the ProfiLux to wirelressly control the LX7. Instead of the LX7 holding the light schedule, the P4 would now hold it. If any changes need to be made to the schedule it would be done through the P4 itself.

Can I use the GHL mobile app to manipulate the LX7 as is or do I need the PWC card to do that? Essentially without the card, I'd have to plug in the mitras to PC via USB to modify light schedule?

You don't need the PWC card to control an LX7.
These fixtures come with a WiFi chip which allow you to access and control them using the app.
We have a video here which shows how it works:

Ah ok, thx for clarification. I saw the announcement on the 7204 and thought I read/saw that one of the differences aside from the 2 clusters was that the 7204 was wifi ready out of the box. Was not aware the 7206 also has that same capability. TY!
