auto start of show - sheepdip - 18-02-2018

hi guys,
can anyone tell me if it possible to start a show from an external switch or sensor as i want my shows to start when people come near and want to use PIR switches to activate my shows. This way i won't annoy the neighbours beyond the normal.

To start shows on demand you have 3 options :

- Show Selector unit - Allows you to select and start shows on demand - See https://www.syncrolight.co.uk/ProductDetails/CTRL-SSEL.aspx

- Android App - From the app you can select and start shows on demand - See https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=syncrolight.lightshow&hl=en_GB

- Raspberry Pi - With the Pi you can connect external buttons and sensors to the GPIO pins. We have a version of our Show Player for the Pi which starts a show from a GPIO trigger. (Note that this method is a little advanced and you would need some knowledge of the Raspberry Pi for this option).

Hope that helps.

Craig.
