This article describes how to configure an OpenSky device that is connected to a Multi-Type Driver (DT6, DT7 and DT8).

Note: In order to use this functionality, please make sure that your OpenSky device has firmware version 3.3.0 or higher installed. If this is not yet the case, please contact the Tvilight Support Desk.

Note: OpenSky Plus is not supported.
