Remote triggering of audio file linked to button

[bailesandlight]

Hi,

I have a project where I require the audio linked to a toggle button to sound when the state changes from 0 to 1.

At present, I can remotely trigger a button state using an OSC address, and the button state changes in the Ctrl window as expected. This button also has an audio file linked to it that sounds when the button is toggled within the app, ie. being pressed.

I need to be able to trigger the same sound file when the state change is made remotely using OSC.

The application this is being used for is part of a butler system in a bar/restaurant. When someone presses a physical button on a table, the relevant button in the Ctrl illuminates (ie. table 11). The audio is required to alert the bar staff to the button press if they are not looking at the Ctrl screen.

Many thanks,
Ben

@bailesandlight I have queued a build (249) for testing in TestFlight which allows control of buttons using the OSC API.

You will now be able to trigger buttons using the /trigger <state> <[protocols]> endpoint. For example, to set a toggle button to the on state you would send /ctrl/control/<uid>/trigger 1.

By default all defined protocols will be sent when triggering however, you can limit this to one or more. For example:

• To send only audio /ctrl/control/<uid>/trigger audio
• To send audio and OSC /ctrl/control/<uid>/trigger audio osc
• To send audio and OSC with the on state /ctrl/control/<uid>/trigger 1 audio osc

Let us know how you get on.

@bailesandlight Please ensure you backup your workspaces before installing the version from TestFlight as data maybe otherwise lost.

Hi Matt, Works perfectly for our uses, thank you. You'll be pleased to hear I backed up the workspace too!

Perfect, the feature will remain in beta for now and will be publicly available with version 2.2.4.
