Re: "splitting" a D3Pro program


 

1. My sources have told me that D3 is still a 'Live' product, though clearly It has ceased at least for the time being to get much-needed love (Home is their new girlfriend...)

2. Are you using "Global Lighting Scenes" vs. "Global Presets"??
I found out the hard way 10 years ago that the 'Lighting Scenes' were not engineered properly and if you were to use more than a handful, the program and system would in various ways, grind to a halt...
We also saw this problem 5 years ago with a project that I was integrating, but another person was doing the D3. After weeks of trouble-shooting and having TS make us try everything,
I looked at the program and saw 100+ Lighting Scenes. We went thru the arduous task of converting them all to Global Presets and the system has been trouble free since then...
This may not be your total issue, but if you're using Lighting Scenes, that is definitely a Yuge part of it...

FTR, my approach with D3 is to program 99% of all load control with Global Presets, and drop them on buttons as needed.? The only exceptions are direct, individual load control on a button - ex: A reading light...

And yes, I think its time to 'Roll our own' lighting code as painful and difficult as that is...
- HOME has too many limitations and lacks Shared Gateway (still after 6 years)
- D3 clearly will not be updated like it needs, and even if it was it would still be total bloat-ware
