Lou,
The Light-It does support the NMRA Signal Decoder standard. ?This is supported in JMRI by using the "DCC Signal Decoder" option for the signal heads. ?You do need to modify some of the appearance numbers if using appearances other than red, yellow and green.
I suspect the problem might occur when using the signal mast "Signal Head Controlled Mast" option to combine multiple signal heads. ?For example, changing a two head mast aspect from Clear to Diverging Clear requires two signal head appearance commands. ?

Thank you for the invitation!
before you go chewing out NCE, try to remember that the signal decoder are built without any sort of compatibility or NMRA standard to meet.?
?
The light-it decoder is intended to be used with a handheld NCE throttle and when it is, it works well. at no point was it designed to interface with JMRI and I would imagine not designed to accept the commands as JMRI. When we start interfacing third-party hardware with other third-party hardware and it doesn¡¯t work, as frustrating as it is, we should not blame the manufacturer. We should blame the standard.?
I held onto my light, it decoders and will use them as accessory lighting for buildings streets, etc.
