Does anyone know if this is possible or do I need to spend another $260 for the ethernet version???

depending on your software (m-pc in my case) you can hook your laptop up to a router connect your iPad up to the router then use touch OSC as your control interface...and you can still use your existing dongle....

There's this one:

That's a way better price - thanks for the heads -up…… Do you know if these are as reliable as the Enttec ?

I have not experience with those, but for the most part assuming they are manufactured well, the reliablity of the majority of the DMX USB or Artnet devices will be about the same. Most are using a FTDI Chipset that has been used for other purpose any is available cheaply since DMX is the same as RS-485 (a serial communication standard). These can be made with USB for at little as $10. You can buy the open dmx units for as little as $15-$30 if you look. Artnet will cost more.

Not possible to do that. You'd need to buy the Enttec or another box that has the NIC for use with ArtNet. The other option would be to to get a raspberry pi and program it to be an ArtNet to DMX relay using your usb dmx box but I'd just buy the real thing.

Thanks jason

Sorry but no. I'm just getting in to dmx, and my current solution to remote control is to use RF remote recepticals and a 3 button remote to turn the lights off and on. I'm just now putting some LED light bars together, which will run on their sound activated settings. First show with this is coming up in a few weeks. I still want to have a programmable light show that I can run solely from an iPhone, so I will probably invest in the Luminaire system.
