Export/Import SPI Matrix and LEC3 Configuration

Table of Contents

Export/Import Configuration Content #

Since firmware version 3.70, SPI Matrix and LEC3 devices allow you to export the device configuration to a JSON file. You can then use this file to quickly set up other devices, instead of configuring each one manually through the web interface. This greatly simplifies the setup process for large-scale pixel LED installations.

The following settings are stored in the configuration file:

  • Network settings
  • Output settings (IC, Color order, …)
  • Autoplay settings
  • Playlist
  • Art-Net and sACN settings
  • and a lot more

How to Export/Import Configuration? #

To use the export/import feature, open the Advanced Settings in the web configuration. Scroll down to the Export/Import Configuration section. Click Export Backup to save the configuration as a JSON file.

On the other device, use the Choose File button to select the JSON file, then click Upload. The file will be uploaded to the device’s SD card, and the settings will be applied automatically.

JSON Content #

The file exported from the device is a standard JSON (text) file, which can be edited in any text editor, such as Notepad. It contains different sections related to outputs, Art-Net, or network settings. You can easily remove or modify specific sections, allowing you to import only the settings that matter to you.

For example, you might choose not to set the device’s IP address, but still configure the output ICs and color order. This gives you great flexibility in deciding exactly which settings to distribute across multiple devices.

You can, of course, edit each property in the JSON file using a text editor. However, it’s usually easier to adjust your settings directly in the LEC3 or SPI Matrix web configuration and then export a valid JSON configuration file.
