Shows every Remote device joined to this device.

Expand a row with the arrow for status information about its operation, including input states on devices that support it.

Syncing firmware

A joined device whose firmware is incompatible with the device's own is flagged with a warning. Select Sync Firmware to instruct the linked device to download firmware compatible with the device's current firmware.

Note

The firmware is downloaded by the device and passed on to the Remote device directly. Watch the device's log to follow the process.

Unjoined devices

The Unjoined Remote Devices table lists Remote devices on the same network as the device that are not in its project file.

Important note about TPS

A TPS running firmware 2.14.0 or above appears as a Remote device and behaves as described above.

A TPS on an earlier firmware version has to connect as a device of its own, like any other device.

To upgrade a site with a TPS to 2.15.0 or newer, the TPS first needs upgrading to the latest 2.14.x version using the Firmware tab, and then its firmware synced to the linked device.
