Streaming ACN

Lights can be controlled via ESTA E1.31, also known as sACN, over your local network.

Don’t forget to install the requirements

pip3 install -r requirements/led-sacn.txt

Warning

It is recommended you reduce anim fps to 24fps or even lower depending on your network conditions. sACN receivers may have trouble keeping up otherwise.

Setting this value will limit the frame rate for the animations running on MQTTany, but there is no guarantee that the receiver will be able to keep up.

Array Definition

The following additional options are added to array definitions when using this interface.

Option	Description
universe	Universe number, more universes may be controlled depending on the number of LEDs and channels in the array.
address	Unicast address or hostname. If not provided then multicast will be used
