Twinkly: Third Party Control - DMX/Artnet
Twinkly Pro devices can be controlled via DMX using a compatible Art-Net-to-DMX node. This guide will help you understand the basic DMX configuration for Twinkly products.
Please note: Christmas Designers does not provide support for third-party DMX/Art-Net equipment. For implementation or advanced configuration, we recommend working with a lighting engineer familiar with DMX and Art-Net protocols.
What You’ll Need
- Twinkly Pro device with firmware v3.5.0 or higher
(Compatible models: TWPRO1500ETHP, TWPROCTRLPLC21, TWPROCTRLSPI21) - DMX-to-Art-Net node
- DMX console
- Access to the Twinkly mobile app for commissioning and setup

Channel 3, 4, 5, 6 – R, G, B, W - These channels define the color coordinates used in Color mode.
Channel 7 – Movie - This channel define the index of the movie to be played in Movie mode. In case the specified index does not match a valid move, nothing change on the object.
Channel 8 – Playlist - This channel define the index of the playlist to be played in Playlist mode. In case the specified index does not match a valid playlist, nothing change on the object.
Channel 10 – Control - The channel placed at index 10 is the main control channel.
OFF switch off the Twinkly object - other channel values are not used

Setup Notes
- IP Configuration: Twinkly controllers allow for static IP assignment via the Twinkly app. If you enter incorrect IP settings, a factory reset is required.
- Art-Net Compatibility: Ensure your DMX controller outputs Art-Net and is on the same LAN as your Twinkly devices.
- Group Behavior: Only the master device in a group will be addressed. It will sync commands to all group members.
