Controlling the radion wirelessly

Instead of having to run the USB to my laptop all the time, I wanted to be able to control these lights wirelessly.
I was doing some research and this is what I found that seems like a viable option.
Ultra x connect Wireless USB Data Kit U12-40929 Transmitter, Receiver, Base New (022769409290) | eBay

I was wondering if anyone uses anything different?

 

thats pretty cool!
actually, I am not any kind of tech guy at all but it would be cool if you could run it to a router or something? them allow for wireless control from anywhere, even from handheld devices.
But like I said, I am not a techie so I dont know how that will work... Im sure someone will figure it out a nifty wireless setup sometime soon.

 

very interesting. going to start doing some research

 

And you'd need a USB to miniUSB adapter to connect to the Radion. That would be awesome if it works. Let us know what you find out!

 

With this one, you still have to use the USB cord that comes with the fixture and plug it directly into the receiver portion of this wireless device and probably secure it somewhere around the light.
another option that I was looking at is this one
IOGEAR - GUWH104KIT - Wireless USB Hub and Adapter

 

Bump! Looking for ideas

 

I bought this unit for 23 off ebay and it works Awesome. It works through a wall at a distance of about 12ft. I just plug the small USB into my computer then hook the Ecotech adapator up to the transmitter end and plug in. Voila. You then have full access to load whatever program you choose and and while connected it actually responds directly with the light. You can also use the extra demo modes etc. in the Ecotech program.

Sure beats buying a $15 or more USB cable

 

Maybe this will help.

Thanks. I am considering these. great for the price.

hey, thanks for the link. this one looks very interesting. I can connect both my fixtures to just one router? or do I need two?

 

You only need to connect one to the router and all settings will go wirelessly to the other units.
