			== Define an RGB light for DMX ==
			A DMX device is always considered a light.
			* Create a new light (for example an RGB light DT #1993)
			* Set the controlled by to your OpenLighting Architecture interface, which must have been defined beforehand (it is DT #2184 in the Interface category)

			[http://www.opendmx.net/index.php/Using_OLA#Using_OLA Using OLA] has details what needs to be done initially, like finding out what DMX controller is installed, and patching a universe to it.

			Important point: Start olad as a non-root user who has is member of the dialout group. Make sure the olad daemon is running BEFORE the LinuxMCE open lighting architecture device is running.

			TODO: Make setup of olad including a startup script automatic.
