After joining the network you can start the DMX app. The figure below is the interface of luminair 3 under the ios system.
Here we have completed the work of signal connection, if you want to change this controller WiFi name and password, open the web browser of your device and enter 192.168.4.1, a view will appear similar to the following figure.

Note: t is recommended that you change the name or password or both for the security of your lighting system.

WiFi Setting

Here we call it the main wifi information. For example, you want to connect an external router, you need to enter the router's wifi name and password, and not only that, you need to make sure the checkbox ) is not checked, if you want to make this connection to take effect.
Here is the controller itself wifi or hotspot information, it can be customized, The network name can be 1-32 characters in length and the password can be 8-16 characters in length. Only alphanumeric characters or space characters are allowed.
In case you forget the wifi password, you can go back to page 5 Function button to restore the factory settings. If the main Wifi cannot be connected, the hotspot will start after a delay of 25 seconds. it also can be customized.
Stand alone mode disables the main WiFi connection and allows ArtNet data to be received via the hotspot connection. Usually we use this as a switch to disconnect main wifi and use its own hotspot to be connected by other devices.

Changes will take effect after you turn the plug off and then back on again. On some occasions, You will use multiple controllers together, When making the wifi channel selection you will. Try to ensure that each controller has its own independent channel, in other words, adjust the led of each controller to a different color. There are 7 colors we can choose.

ANTENNAS

The antenna angles can be adjusted for optimum performance. For best results the controller's antenna should be oriented towards the device with the app or router as much as possible. You can experiment with different angles to see what works the best. antenna set to a 45 degree angle is a good compromise starting point.

PKnight Application

The controller has multiple uses: performance stage, solo artist, band, the after, film and television light control home light control etc.

NOTE: In order to ensure the stability and high speed of wifi communication, the plug controller should be installed at a high place, and minimize obstructions.
