Hey everyone,
Is there a Linux native program that can program Dali lighting systems? (Or perhaps even domotica more broadly?). The use case will be Qbus. But if I can get Dali going by itself that’ll be a good start too.
Thx in advance!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There is the dali-interface Python library which seems to support a few PC DALI interfaces based on USB-HID and serial. I don’t know how well the translation between USB-HID/serial and DALI is standardized, so I can’t tell you how compatible this library is with DALI interfaces that are not explicitly listed in the README.
Software using this library includes dali_mon for monitoring the DALI bus and dali_cli for sending commands.
