Weather Data DMX Lighting Installation

This is a project I worked on with one of my faculty using netted structures and slow, subtle light shifts informed by weather data from the openweathermap.org/api and DMX control using VST and a DMXIS controller. It is pretty basic, but stitches together a few interesting bits of Max that seem to be less documented on the cycling74 forums.

A much earlier iteration used the dmxusbpro Max external by Olaf, but I switched over to the vst object because it was a bit more open and the support from enttec was more robust.

Why can't they leave the lights off every night?! So frustrating!

Nice work. Do you have any videos that you can post. I’d be interested in how you fully configured all the parts to work: the data and lights.
