Wireless Control: Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi Control allows fixtures to connect to existing wireless networks or create their own wireless network for control.
RR and R2 can be controlled using Wi-Fi either over an existing WiFi network or by using a Quasar Science fixture as a wireless AP to create a WiFi network from the fixture. Quasar Science fixtures operate in the 2.4gHz spectrum only.
Note
As of Firmware v0.6 or later the Wi-Fi module also requires a separate update for functionality. See How to Update WiFi Module
