We’ve introduced new RDM tools, available in Express 2.0 and later, which help make status monitoring and management a breeze.

Monitor device status in the controller’s web interface
Once your project has been uploaded, the controller’s web interface contains information relating to connected RDM devices.
Use a web browser to navigate to the IP address of your controller and open the Fixtures tab.
This page presents an overview of the project’s fixtures. Clicking Refresh performs RDM discovery and updates the page.
At the top of the page, the summary section shows:
- Time and date of the last refresh
- Number of RDM devices discovered at the last refresh
- Number of unpatched devices discovered at the last refresh
The fixtures table shows the RDM status of each fixture in the project. This can be:
All RDM UIDs associated with the device have been discovered at the last refresh
No RDM UIDs associated with the device were discovered at the last refresh
Some, but not all, RDM UIDs associated with the device were discovered at the last refresh
There are no RDM UIDs associated with the device, or a refresh has not been performed since the controller was last rebooted
A refresh is in progress
From the Fixtures page, click Unpatched Devices to see devices discovered at the last refresh which are not associated with a fixture in the project. From here, it’s possible to identify each unpatched device.
Manage device settings using RDM in the controller’s web interface
From the Fixtures page, click the three dots next to a fixture to open a fixture’s detail page. This page shows a table with rows for the fixture’s associated RDM device(s) and the status of each device. Clicking Refresh Fixture will refresh just the devices on this page.
From here, it’s possible to edit each device’s mode, start address and curve. It’s also possible to identify each device.
