Power schematic


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Most of my lighting devive have a power out. When using cable in daisy chain mode, the power schematic tool connect only the first one to the distributor.

I tried to add electrical in and out components inside my lighting symbol. In this case, power consumption calculation is not working

Last try by adding a consumer component to my lighting symbol but it neither work because I can't plug the consumer to the power input

Is their a way to work ??

It's not you, it's us. Daisy chaining is actively being worked on, and I hope to share when it will be properly implemented. The power tool doesn't recognize an output when placed inside a "consumer." For now, the workaround is to use two-fers to force the lights to link together which bypasses the output of each light.
