Well originally i liked the wifi capability of the kulps. I didn't have network jacks installed yet, so to get going i needed wifi. It really overloaded my wifi and wasn't working perfectly. This year I installed the jacks and no longer had need for wifi. Kulp controllers all use Beagles. Thats an FPP for each controller. Last year I had 5 FPP's around the yard. This year switching to Genius i had 4 (but 3 were projectors) I liked the wifi setup of the genius, i like the ease of the pig tail connectors. I like the innovations that they are doing and will be doing. I am sure kulp will be coming up with some innovation with his. I think the genius just takes a layer of complexity off. I have used Falcon, Kulp and Genius. I dont forsee changing again for awhile, probably just adding smart rx'ers

Honestly I like the ingunutiy of the genius as well. With all the pixel issues people have had, the pixel failure test function is intriguing, although one hopes to not need it I guess lol. Thanks for the insights 👍

Yeah i dont know whats up with the "pixel failures" I am starting to think alot of it is user error. I mean im hearing of people that are having 20 or more per night. I haven['t had 20 pixel failures in the last 4 years. Either that or it just has to do with the quality people are buying. Its tough, prices are going up on everything, so we do try to go for the best deal. When it comes to pixels I try to go middle of the road or higher for quality. Well at least reputation. lol

I got a notification about a comment on not liking fpp on all the devices. I can't find it tho. Yeah i just don't want to deal with all the ip's etc. one fpp. and it controls the genius controllers via DDP. Just setup the controllers in Xlightts and xlights will setup basically all the settings when you do your controller uploatds.

its actually all done in xlights. you setup your controllers in the controller tab and upload them. Then when you upload your sequence to the fpp. it will uload the e.131 or ddp info

@@BensBackyardShop Thank you! I got it running as a bridge connection. I was hoping to get it to work as master and remote option, but experiences lights seen that they had done a poor done with instruction and updates.
