DMX flakey -not recommended!

Will not trigger on DMX channel commands, or will trigger on wrong DMX channel commands. Took me ages to figure out that the fault was with the lamp, and not my code. I've practically turned balled from tearing hairs out!

Has DMX issues

The device has some issue with DMX. When I chose it to respond to a certain DMX address, say channel 100, it will only work correctly DMX channel one is not zero. When it is zero, and I set channel 100, the device starts to erratically switch on and off (tens of times on and off in 1 sec) which can't be good for either the switchpack nor the devices behind it!). While it's possible to work around this by making sure channel one is always set, it is a burden. This occurs even on short DMX links that are properly terminated, and I have several DMX controllers, including a USB one, and it responds to all the controllers in the same way. It's also the only device I have that seems not compatible.

The device itself is very sturdy and looks good, so other than the DMX issues it is of good quality.
