User Reviews

Users praise Onyx Remote for stage-focused control, quick updates to the console/presets, and a handy virtual keypad. The most repeated downsides are lack of iPad support (including split-screen) and ongoing connectivity/discovery problems with the console, plus some feature requests (grid playback view, more keypad options) and occasional stability notes.
Pros
  • Stage-focused control that reduces trips to the light board and aids focusing from the stage (including accelerometer pan/tilt benefits).
  • Virtual keypad support via device orientation, with users frequently noting the feature and desiring its broader availability.
  • Fast, convenient updates to the console and presets from the stage, making on-site updates easier.
Cons
  • Lack of iPad compatibility and no split-screen support, limiting iPad workflows.
  • Recurring connectivity/discovery issues where the app cannot find or connect to the console on the same network.

It’s 2023. There’s still no iPad version of the software, and the current app doesn’t support split screen so I can have show notes up while using the app on an iPad. Please update it to support split screen.

For what I need to do it’s great! This prevents me from having to walk to the light board all the time or when I’m up in the catwalk I don’t need someone to help me. The only thing I wish is that you could see present for groups, other than that it’s great!

For Christmas I received 2 of their dream light pro Bluetooth and controller. What did I get? 2 rolls or led and one incorrect wall connector. It had ZERO remotes. ZERO working wall connectors and will NOT connect to the app at all. I’ve been in contact with them for months and have gotten nothing. I want these to work so much because they look good but right now they are USELESS.
