Alternative to LOR's ServoDog controller?

Hello all! I'm looking to add some servo animatronics to my LOR Christmas light show. My show is programmed and run off solely LOR software including S6 and the Control Panel. Every time I plan to add an animatronic to the show, I always run into the issue of compatibility with LOR software. Sure, I can use xLights and add any type of 3rd party controller I want to control anything, but I (also may be in the minority here) find that the LOR software for programming is leagues ahead of xLights. The only compatible controller for LOR software I have found thus far is their own "ServoDog" controller, which is grossly overpriced for an 8-channel servo controller. I'm wondering if there's any other way to control servos through ethernet or any other of the supported protocols with only LOR software. I tried the "SSC-32U" controller which originally I was under the impression would work with a DMX protocol, but I was mistaken.


Any tips, builds, or other workarounds are all appreciated! Thanks!



TL;DR: Looking for a controller for servos to add in an LOR light show using solely LOR software, but not the proprietary "ServoDog" controller as that is overpriced
