DMX Smart Link HUB - Network Edition

Set the scene once, save it, and bring the whole rig back with one press. A scene saves the current state of your fixtures and smart lights without requiring a selection. Recall that lighting from a named button; your Visual Control stage layout stays in place. Nobody has to remember which channel does what on a Sunday morning, and nobody rebuilds the scene at the next load-in.

DMX fixtures and smart lights run from the same dashboard. That is why our own church stopped using LightKey — one dashboard now runs its DMX fixtures and its smart lights. Prefer the desk your team already knows? DMX Smart Link speaks Art-Net and sACN, so LightKey, QLC+ or Madrix can feed it directly. Interop is a feature here, not the whole product.

The software runs anywhere — the HUB is the version where the setup is already done. The same software installs on macOS, Windows 11, Ubuntu/Linux or a Raspberry Pi 5. This is a Pi 5 with it preinstalled, configured, and a 1-year licence included. Run it from any browser on the network, or the free iPhone app, so you can walk the room during soundcheck and fix a wash from your pocket.

16,475 fixture profiles from 1,697 manufacturers, covering 56,465 modes in release 2026.09.19.0031, ship on the card — and the library grows every release. Import your QLC+ fixtures, export to FreeStyler or Open Fixture Library, and move your licence to another machine when your hardware changes. Nothing here locks you in.

A HUB running a real install: 16 DMX fixtures patched alongside smart-light zones — Sanctuary, Foyer, Entrance and more — with scenes saved and ready to recall.

Best for network-based rigs: a full DMX console for your stage lights over Art-Net, plus Govee and other smart lights, over the network you already have. Choose this if your rig already has Art-Net nodes or a console, or you own a USB DMX interface.

More ways to run your lighting

• Visual Control, whole-rig scenes and fixture groups.
• Follow Spot with saved stage positions; Stream Deck, MIDI, OSC and API control.
• Channel Check to test fixture channels and save verified settings.
• AI Light Show, Media Player, AI Slide Show and NDI video colour follow.
• Network Logs for setup and troubleshooting.

Current support note: NDI audio driving AI Light Show and missing CSV-import confirmation are under investigation. NDI video colour follow is a separate feature. Test your exact lights and workflow before a live event.

Plug it in, add your lights, save your scenes. From then on, running the room is pressing a button with a name on it.

Fully configured Raspberry Pi 5 with DMX Smart Link software included.
