I have many AB units and an LG4X (buried somewhere). I am considering adding White Lightning or Einstein units.
Double checking my logic...
If I had numerous Einsteins the Cyber Commander will remotely control those. I could have up to 4 (or more daisy chained) AB units all plugged in to the LG4X and they would fire whilst being connected to LG4X slave triggered by Einstein(s)? The slave triggers of the ABs will still be active even though the units are plugged into the LG4X, correct?
So everything then will remotely controlled.
Thanks,
Paul

Unless you have a sync cord or dummy sync plug plugged into your Bees, then the slave is active. So what you are saying should work fine.

Yes, that will work fine, but you will lose some of the advantage of the CC by not having all lights runnign from it. All lights can adjust via remote, and all lights will fire, assuming the optical slaves can see another light.

sorry....
i'm not quite up to speed on the (semi)new stuff from you guys...
your can use CC to control AB/WL units too? that'd be even better.

Yes, you can. You just need to get the + (PLUS) version of the cybersync receivers. It is a much more elegant solution than the LG4X.

Right, CSR+ and CSRB+ recievers will allow you to have all teh power adjustment and metering and grouping you have with the Einsteins. You cannot control the slave eye, color action mode (as there is not one), or ready indicator via the CC on the analogue lights, even though the settings are there in the CC. Also, the Einsteins will go into a deeper standby mode than the older lights.
