PLEASE for the love of all that is holy, leave the tubes at the values of what they are instead of overriding them with whatever is on the app when you connect. Right now it is impossible to fine tune a light on a set unless you connect beforehand, you will lose your settings and potentially ruin your shot if you try to tweak in the middle of anything. There needs to be a way to gang effects across groups of lights so there can be consistency if what is projected on the tubes. Right now pixel effects are just a smattering of whatever. At the very least give us a way to do multicolor at assignable points (one half one color, one half another, etc)

I might update this if it becomes incredibly frustrating in the future, but with all the one and two star reviews I wanted to say that I just purchased 2 ProTube II 6Cs, and right out of the box I was able to easily connect and control them individually, and they worked great. Much easier to navigate through the app than the on light controls, though both are good, and if I’m setting up a scene, I’m glad I have a remote option, especially since I will likely be using these vertically, which would make using the built in controls difficult. Maybe it’s just beginners luck, but to me it looks like the devs heard your complaints and worked to fix them. One effect I would love to see added, although I could probably choose a fade that would work, is a “Streetlight” mode. Like when a car is driving on a highway passing under streetlights.

So, I was having an issue where the app would not recognize any of my T8 7X fixtures, no matter what I tried. In the manual, there’s directions for resetting Bluetooth by pressing all 3 of the main buttons at the same time until the tube flashes blue. After doing that for each light, I was able to connect all 4 without issue and have not had a problem since. If the app is not finding your fixture, and you have the ability to reset Bluetooth, I’d start there. The app is definitely a bit slow and clunky. Hoping they show this some development love as I appreciate the direction and would really enjoy using a more refined version of the app.
