DMX Core

Plugins

Plugins extend the DMX Core 100 with integrations that run on the device itself. Three plugins ship out of the box with every install — Symetrix DSP, QSys DSP, and Home Assistant — and additional plugins can be added per device.

The Plugins Page

Each installed plugin is listed with its version, state, and — for plugins that maintain a connection to external equipment — a live connection indicator: a green link icon when the plugin is connected to its device (for example a DSP core), a red broken-link icon when it isn’t.

  • Enabled — turn a plugin off without uninstalling it. Enabling or disabling takes effect at the next restart.
  • Settings — each plugin declares its own settings (server addresses, ports, options), edited right on the page. Settings changes apply immediately, no restart needed — for the DSP plugins, saving a new address reconnects on the spot.
  • Upload — install or update a plugin from a .dmxplugin package. Uploaded plugins are staged and applied at the next restart.
  • Delete — remove an uploaded plugin. The bundled plugins are part of the product install and can be disabled but not deleted.

The DSP Plugins

The two bundled plugins implement the Q-SYS & Symetrix integrations. Their settings are simply the DSP core’s address (and port, if changed from the platform default). Once connected, define Control Values to bridge the DSP’s controls into faders, menus, and triggers.

Updates

Bundled plugins update together with the device firmware. Uploaded plugins are updated by uploading a newer .dmxplugin — the version is applied at the next restart, and the plugin’s settings are kept.
