That sounds like a wicicle and then a Chauvet D-fi. But thats just because I know those fit the description.

We had a designer come in for a show that wanted to add color to the houselights at a large regional theatre. The building wouldn't allow them changing the lamps in the architectural sconces, so the designer added 24 3" fresnels within the wall to shine up at the wall sconce. Those plugged into an orchestra stringer and into a small dimmer pack with ShowBaby wireless DMX.
So 24 lights in 8 locations and show baby to control.
What would happen every other show or so is when house would go to half, none of the colored lights would fade out. Then randomly into the act, they'd blink out.
Every time, they'd be ok fading up, I assume because everyone's phone had been in their pocket for an hour during the show, but fading out was always a mess.
Oh yea, it totally was receiver location. Since they had to hide the lights as best as possible, they receivers were just strung wherever.This one sounds a lot like TX/RX placement. What was the placement of the RX and TX? Where there a lot of bags of water (people) in between the two? We ran into a very similar issue last year where the RX was in the trap room and the TX was on the balcony rail. Popped on a directional panel antenna and it was fixed.

I'm catching up on a couple months of posts, and I particularly enjoyed this discussion on wireless DMX - https://www.controlbooth.com/threads/wireless-dmx.44193/
Something I would love to hear is the times where wireless DMX DIDN'T work as planned. This isn't to diss on the manufacturers, who make great products that meet a great need. But we all learn more from failure than from success. And wireless has some tricky points of failure.
So I'm curious what setups worked 99 times and then just failed on that 100th time, or worked great in rehearsal but not when the house was full, or worked until the welder across the started welding, etc.
