Is this a stand alone unit or it needs the DMX controller?

Yes it will work as a standalone unit and it does not require a DMX controller because there are controls on the unit itself, however a DMX controller provides you a simpler interface. But in the end it really depends on what your requirements are.

This unit may be operated as a stand-alone. Works with a wireless remote control, as well. May additionally be programmed to transition with the beat of the music.

This does not come with controller. You can buy the rtf version if you want a controller. I use spectrum dx7

Try using different DMX channel modes on the lights. Some lights default to 7 channel mode, but the lighting controller wants them to be in 4 channel mode, for example.

Mine had the controller. I really like this unit but there is a problem with the float switch. If there is any grease or scum in the waste water this switch will have build up and quit working properly. Will need to be cleaned about every 6 months if water from kitchen sink or washing machine goes thru switch.

as long as you can DMX them together, you should be fine. just remember that this controller is only a 3 Channel, whereas the RGB is a 7 channel, so you will lose some functionality, but you can mess around with some of the programming options and get a lot of it back. all in all it's a great little controller to use for up lighting purposes. if you want to put on a fancy show you will need something more programmable.

All the Lights will need to be powered Individually. Cannot be powered by the DMX alone. Although that would be nice Feature lol. This particular Item is simple enough to be used but, for me for some odd reason it didn't work that well for me. So I ended up doing a return and got the Obey40 by Chauvet. Works Wonders and I love it lol. Good luck mate hope all works for yah.

Mine don't work at all with DMX. That's the flaw with these Chinese made lights. Also why they're so cheap! What I do is set one to do whatever (strobe, fade, react to audio) with no controller and the rest I set to slave and that works. I just wish the DMX controller would work. Bah.

It's not a DMX controller that's included. You can only set the box to sound mode and it will run the built in patterns automatically. To control speed/color/or any specific pattern, you will need a separate controller.

Well in order to make the board work, you will need some sort of dimming system. These boxes can be used as dimmers.If you want to control any sort of halogen or NON-COMPUTERIZED fixture you will need dimmer packs. Otherwise you can hook the DMX cable right to the board and go straight to your DMX lights.

No this machine is not DMX able...you would have to go to like an Antari S100 or an Sw250

No Dmx available. The strobe is constant on and the moon flower has sound activation and the color ball spins changing direction if you turn it on and off

Hi Allan, It does not work with just any DMX controller. It requires a controller that supports 4 or more channels per device. 3 Channels will not work because either you get to set the RGB colors ( 3 channels) but then you can't make them bright or dim (4th channel). Larry has a 3 channel DMX controller which leaves one of the 4 channels out making the lights not to operate correctly. Either you miss one color... or you can't set the brightness and strobe on or off.

Separate. Some type of ZWave controller is required for remote operation. This unit is simply ZWave ready

No I can't install the driver that came with the dmx cord. I work on alot of computers too I know how to install software & drivers.

It should. I use the Chauvet obey 10 and works fine. Works with any dmx controller to my understanding.

Are these considered (addressable) strips? for instance if I get a DMX controller would I have control over each individual led? Im making a led display need to be able to adjust color/brightness of each pixel independently

Yes, you will need a 12v input into I to drive the light strip. DMX doesn't carry voltage to power anything.
