This is one of the first things I turned off, but didn't seem to change anything.According to the manual this fixture has a "Dormancy Mode" which I guess means it goes into standby after a set number of minutes. The default is 15 minutes. It can allegedly be disable from the main menu. There's no mention of what triggers the timeout. Perhaps it's from the last receipt of an IGMP subscription message, which your router or switch should be sending periodically. The manual also emphasizes the need for IGMP.

As others have suggested, switching over to DMX might provide more reliable control.
At risk of making the lights mad at me... again... I think it is finally solved. I can't say exactly what the issue was, but after a bunch of factory resets again, and modifying the same settings over and over, it seems to be working. I even left the room for a while and came back, and they still held the connection. NOBODY TOUCH THESE LIGHTS OR THEIR CABLES!!!
For anybody curious, the only settings I have changed are the following:
- Flip display screen
- Placed in universe 3 (all by themselves)
- IP addressed each one individually
- Changed ArtNet to sACN protocol
- Turned off hibernate
Thank you everyone for working to help me figure this out!
