Bridge DMX, Art-Net and sACN with Open Lighting Architecture

What it does

The open-source "travel adaptor" for lighting protocols that many agent and scripting tools use underneath.

How to set it up

1. Install OLA from your package manager or build from source.
2. Start the daemon with olad and open the web UI (port 9090 by default) to patch devices to universes.
3. Point your scripts or agent tools (such as dmx-mcp) at OLA instead of talking to interfaces directly.
