If I already have a transmitter in my 10 pin prong for Alienbeen lights, how can I plug this in too and have both sets work? So confused!

There is a 10 pin splitter available on the market now and you should be able to use that. Google 10 pin splitter for dslr and you'll find the links

I believe you have to buy a second transmitter. I don't know why the kit comes with only one when there are two lights. You can write their support - they got back to me pretty quickly.

There is a code hard wired into it. You have an "A", or a "B", etc which is in the transmitter and receiver. They must match. Or you can have two "A" transmitters and use two switches and one receiver, which will let you turn off one light in three places.

My understanding is that you can. They have to all plug into the power source and can not be daisy chained in a line one after the other. I want to use about five of them together and am going to try it soon. LEDwholesalers has not been very helpful answering how to get the color changing module in place so all of them will be the same color in unison. I think more than two would blow the color module but I'm not clear on that. I know you can put two together with a splitter though.

only comes with the wire that is attached to each individual light. You have to get the low voltage wire (cut to the desired length you need to go through your garden) separately at Home Depot or similar store. The employee there should be able to help you choose the correct wire. You will need to measure where you want it to go in order to tell him how much you need. Hope this helps. Once you get them connected and working you'll love them. I do. I've had mine for years. You'll need an electrician to connect them to the transformer or someone that knows how to do it. Enjoy!

Connecting only Tx, Rx and Gnd works for all of my designs I have a few 5volt ones and a few 3.3volt. None of them seem to have any issues.

They use a proprietary connector, not sure why you would want a different strip though. Even if you managed to get one hooked up it wouldn't work with the controller.EDIT:I read your comments, I think that yes you can because the strip has a spot for another connection at it's end. However I would be wary to try it seeing as how my first HUE melted. Interesting idea though, might try this on my next build..

Hi Jacob, you could possibly use the plug, but you would have to put stiff wires out of the female end to touch onto the correct contacts on the main board. A better solution (thinking you are going for er9x?) is to get the smartieparts board that has a mini-usb port for easy programming. Do a search for it and you will find all sorts of help. It was a very easy install. While doing it, add a backlight! It is so worth it.

I am not sure - since they are hot hardwired together - I would assume you'd have to have separate remotes. We only have one set. The manufacturer should be able to resolve this. We like the lights very much.

Sorry for answering so late Mike! As of last year there were no transmitters that would bond with this product except the factory transmitter that was provided. I did hear "Hobby King" had one that is supposed to be universal. I can't verify that though. If you find something please let us know. :)

If you have more than one speaker output, you have to pick one and use it. I had to go to Radio Shack and get and adapter to go from the lug type out puts to the mini plug on the transmitter. It works great! Good luck!

Those are probably 4 channel lights so you need a controller with at least 4 channels. Find out how many channels the lights have before you purchase a controller. I had the same problem.

I do not know. I used to use X-10 system to run my lights. The software is no longer available for X-10. Insteon stinks. Wait for something better, which should be soon. If you call their support line be prepared to wait for 45 minutes of more to talk to a tech. Insteon will kinda sorta run X10 devices.

In my experience they do not work well together. I tried using two of them, but it didn't matter which remote I was using at the time, it turned the light/appliance on and off that was connected to the other remote. Perhaps I had two matched sets, but others may have different circuitry. Give it a try and return one set if it doesn't work the way you want.

I bought two sets of 3 light each with adapters, extended length of adapters by cutting in half and soldering various length wire between each half to desired length and connected all six. make sure not to cross connect wires. all working without any problem.

They are connected the same way, unless the circuit your current light bar is on can't handle the addt'l 2A per light added, in which case you would need a relay and separate circuit, with the relay energized by the existing light bar circuit assuming you want them energized simultaneously.
