Strobe Fader mistake in livemode

Hello!
Normally, my lamps flicker when the Strobe Fader is turned on 1% or more. When it is on 0%, my lights are shining continuously.
I setted up a Live Dashboard with a Strobe Fader. When I turn on the Live Mode and the Strobe Fader on the Live Dashboard is set on 0% by default, the lamps are starting to flicker when I turn my lights on. If I move the Strobe Fader a little bit and return to 0%, everything works fine and nothing flickers.
I hope you understand my problem!
Thanks for developing Photon, I like the app! And I‘m sorry if I did vocabulary or grammar mistakes!

The problem is still existing in Photon 2.3.2. Maybe you can fix it? :innocent:

Hi

I have identified the root cause of this incident

For explanations :

  • when you go on live mode, all output except shutter are put at 0%, shutter at 100%
  • everything on dashboard is excluded for output calculation until the specific element was touched.
    So until you touch your shutter fader, the shutter output will be 100%

I have asked my colleagues to find with me the best way to include all faders into output calculation when you switch on live mode

I’m seeing this same problem in January 2023. Switching to Live Mode somehow changes the strobe behavior, even when it works perfect in non-live mode.

Did you set the open value on your fixture ?
