- Press the Save icon in the upper right corner of the menu.

Input Mode
To set the Input Mode, select from either WIFI (WELL COM receives control signal through Wi-Fi) or DMX (WELL COM receives control signal through DMX cable), then press the Save icon in the upper right corner of the menu.
Connecting Products to WELL COM
To connect products to receive WDMX from the WELL COM:
- Set the products to receive WDMX signal on the same WIFI Channel as the WELL COM.
- Set the products to their most basic DMX personality.
- Set the DMX starting address of each product.
4. OPERATION
The WELL COM can store up to 24 unique steps in each of 18 scenes available for playback. Each scene can be assigned a Fade Time and Hold Time, and output on as many of the 512 channels available to the WELL COM as desired.
Visual Modeling Mode
This mode programs the output by visual modeling. To program the steps of a scene by DMX channel, see Edit Mode.

Designing or Editing a Step
To program the light output for a step through the Visual Modeling mode, first select whether the products to be programmed are RGB, RGBW, or RGBA. From the home page of the app, press RGB FIXTURE (for products with red, green, and blue LEDs), RGBW FIXTURE (for products with red, green, blue, and white LEDs), or RGBA FIXTURE (for products with red, green, blue, and amber LEDs).
DMX Address
The DMX ADDRESS setting determines which range of DMX channels are currently being edited. In RGB mode, the WELL COM will control the currently selected channel and the next 2. In RGBW and RGBA modes, the WELL COM will control the currently selected channel and the next 3.
Products with different DMX starting addresses must be programmed separately. First program the color for one starting address, and then change the DMX ADDRESS setting to the starting address of the next product or set of products. The WELL COM will continue to send previously configured channel information until the settings for those channels are changed.

Products that need to be the same color at all times should be set to the same DMX starting address. Products that need to be different colors should have different starting addresses, spaced apart so they do not overlap.
For example, in RGB mode: Product 1 and 2 need to be the same color, so they are both set to DMX Address 001. Product 3 needs to be different, so it is set to DMX Address 004, because channels 002 and 003 are taken up by Products 1 and 2.
Count
The COUNT setting allows products with consecutive, non-overlapping DMX addresses to be programmed to an identical color without switching the DMX starting address in the app. Set the starting address of the first fixture, and the number of fixtures, and that number of DMX addresses will respond to the visual modeler. Examples:
- In RGBW mode, set the DMX ADDRESS to 001 and the COUNT to 4, for the following DMX addresses to respond identically: 001, 005, 009, and 013.
- In RGB mode, set the DMX ADDRESS to 029 and the COUNT to 7, for the following DMX addresses to respond identically: 029, 032, 035, 038, 041, 044, and 047.
Color
There are 3 methods of designing the color output. A preview of the output will display on the bottom of the screen with the DMX values for each color. Press the Refresh icon to set all DMX values to 0.
Color Preset

The Preset mode provides a selection of pre-designed colors from which to choose. On the top row there are 7 customizable presets. To design a custom preset:
- Press and hold the desired custom preset box until it flashes.
- Design a color using the Palette or Mixer.
- Return to the Preset screen.
- Tap the desired custom preset box until it stops flashing.
- Tap another custom preset box to program it, or press the back button to exit.
Color Palette

The Palette mode provides a 360° color spectrum and a brightness slider for selecting and refining the output.
Color Mixer

The Mixer mode provides sliders for each available color, as well as a number dial for selecting specific DMX values.
Saving a Step

After all the colors and values have been set, follow the instructions below to save it to a scene.
- Press the Save icon to the right of the Refresh icon.
- Select the scene in which to save the step from the right side of the screen.
- Set the FADE TIME (the amount of time it will take for each step to fade from one step to the next) for the scene, from 0:0 (0 minutes, 0 seconds) to 59:59 (59 minutes, 59 seconds).
- Set the HOLD TIME (the amount of time each step will output before moving to the next) for the scene, from 0:0 (0 minutes, 0 seconds) to 59:59 (59 minutes, 59 seconds).
- Press and hold the desired step in the scene. The current output will save to that step. If a previously saved step is pressed and held in this way, it will be overwritten with the current output.
- To view any step in the scene without overwriting it, press the circle for that step WITHOUT holding.
Edit Mode

In Edit mode, individual DMX channel values can be set, along with the Fade Time, Hold Time, the Name of the scene, and the color it will glow on the screen when selected for playback. The scene can also be played back in this mode. Screen rotation must be enabled on the mobile device to enter the Edit mode. To enter Edit mode:

Designing or Editing a Step

To design the output and save it to a step in Edit mode:
- Use the faders for each DMX channel to set the desired values.

- To view any step in the scene without overwriting it, press the circle for that step WITHOUT holding.
Scene Setting

To set the name and glow color of the scene, press the box next to the Play icon in the top right corner of the screen. Glow color indicates that the scene is playing back. Press OK to save the name and color, or Cancel to cancel.
