    Are you using the variable speed cable to the Kessil? If so, just draw what you want to happen on the graph.

    yes I am using the cables, the color temp controls dont seem to be changing the color. if correct the show to be from 10 to 100 basically. But you can click on 20 and 80 and see no color difference.

    You are using the kessil cable correct that has one ethernet looking plug connected to one 1/8" stereo plug correct?

    out of last of the 4 Kessils, two wires and one power cord come out the mounting arm. One wire is the daisy link to the other and the the other is the ethernet.

    Are you programming varspd1 and varspd2, or varspd3 and varspd4? You have it plugged into 3 and 4.

    You should be seeing a change assuming the jack is in all the way. I'm not certain, but I recall intensity being 1/3 and color being 2/4. Play around with the jack and see if you can get a response from manual ON/OFF commands.

    both programs are essentially the same, so i dont think it would matter if i switched jack around.

    Please explain On and OFF commands, I have not got there yet

    Manual ON/OFF means the sliders on the dashboard.

    Try moving to 1/2 and repeating the same test.

    Does your cable have only 1 headphone jack on it, or does it have 2?
