[QUOTE="Rick164, post: 1206287, member: 17766"] It should work the same yeah, so the Windows app isn't working from any machine in your LAN network? Some switches can filter out multicast requests but those aren't that common, TCP sketch we kept for legacy purposes as UDP is the way to go with these Orbs because they will work faster and no need to worry about reconnects or IP addresses. Since the Android app works we can rule out the hardware or sketch issues, what we can try: - Connect a Windows machine to WLAN if possible and check if the Windows app or AtmoLight works there. - Check firewall rules for anything blocking the apps or multi-cast traffic specifically. - Check router / switch config for any multicast throttling or blocking options. If packet size is 0 it means it isn't receiving any commands on the multicast group which is normal when idle at least, once it starts receiving it will show a shorts bursts of packets :) If all else fails in AtmoLight we do have the UDP IP option (loose apps don't) to directly sent to the Orbs, the way the default UDP multicast works is as follows: - Orbs join a shared multicast group on a reserved IP (239.15.18.2) - Apps join in on that same shared multicast group. - Now on color changes in apps it sends those commands to the group and the Orbs will pick those up if the Orb ID matches.
