  • Paddle unresponsive
  • Remote app still controls load
  • Input works intermittently

Recognize these? Here's what usually causes it.

Tools & Requirements

Step-by-Step Solution

1

Check local-control settings

Confirm local paddle control has not been disabled in parameters.

2

Test mechanical input

Verify paddle travel and actuation consistency.

3

Reapply known-good config

Push stable input parameter profile and retest.

Quick Solutions

Re-enable local control
Inspect paddle hardware behavior
Reconfigure input parameters

Still having issues? This is usually the deeper cause below.

If this comes back after following these steps, check whether a recent app or firmware update reset a default setting — the fix works, but the setting gets reverted silently.

Pro Tip

Keep local control behavior documented for scene-only setups.

Real-World Insight
