Paul,
I don't know the answer to your question. But I think there has
been progress in this matter.

Look at the LogixNG action "Light intensity".
On the documentation page for "Light intensity", there is an
example on how you can setup LogixNG to have the intensity of the
light in the room follow the fast clock.

Greetings All,
?
After an extended late-night dive into the group archive, I
can't seem to find a final word on whether the JMRI DMX-via-USB
support (whether Anyma or Powerline) works when using Java for
ARM on Apple Silicon Macs (M1-M4 processors). There are a couple
of 2022 threads that mention that it was broken, but the only
possible response I found in the code was a commit for release
5.3.3 that appeared to be a minor change for some component of
DMX support. It didn't look like a smoking gun, but looks can be
deceiving.
?
I'm asking because my 2020 Intel iMac will likely need to get
replaced with a M4 (or later) unit sometime between now and when
my layout is getting built. I can certainly buy a USB-to-DMX
dongle, a decoder, some lights, and play around with it, but
that won't be a true acid test since I'm still back in Intel
land.

The ultimate goal is to have the layout lighting run in two
modes:
- Maintenance mode - All lighting turned on, with RGBWW strips
at full WW.?
- Operations mode - All lighting and color reacts to the time
of day, based on the fast clock time.
My assumption (at the moment) is that this functionality
would likely require either a LogixNG or Python/Jython script
that listens to the "maintenance mode" memory value and the fast
clock value.
?
Thanks in advance.
