Has any one has any luck changing flash patterns on non Whelen lights connected to an HHS4200? My work vehicle has two Strobes R Us deck light on the interior of the front windshield. The lights are tri color (red/ white/ blue). The way the lights are currently configured is they flash red and blue when on control head is on 2 or 3. The same lights will become solid white when the take down button is pressed.

For some reason my agency has the cruise button to only light up a 6 light traffic advisor in the rear of the vehicle in a solid state. I'm looking to add the front lights in a solid blue when the cruise button is pressed.

I believe the issue I'm having is that Whelen Command does not know what lights I have in the vehicle, and there the flash patterns are not available. I have googled for several days and have been unable to find any information on adding my lights to Whelen Command.

These are the lights I have front and rear: https://strobesrus.com/product/9-led-dash-light-tri-color-srus-dash/#view-4
The rear also has a 6 pod stick: https://strobesrus.com/product/30-5-commander-elite-6-pod-warning-sticks-commanderelite6/

Can anyone provide any insight?
 
The HHS4200 likely uses a digital communication protocol (WeCan) to talk to compatible lights. Your Strobes R Us lights are likely standard, non-networked lights that use simple power/ground wires to trigger pre-set patterns or functions based on which wires are energized.

Whelen Command cannot "tell" a non-Whelen light how to flash; it can only turn the power output to that light on or off. The flash pattern logic is entirely internal to the Strobes R Us unit itself.
