Enable the API

You have to tell Lexicon to accept commands from the Stream Deck plugin.

  1. Enable the Lexicon API in the settings under Integrations. Without the API enabled, your Stream Deck will send commands but Lexicon won’t listen for them.

  2. Allow Stream Deck commands to enter the API

Any chance of this plugin working in Bitfocus Companion?

All of them or specific ones?

I just got a StreamDeck XL this weekend, and MANNNNNN!!! The integration I have seen so far is NICE!!!

A couple of things I noted:

  1. The action ‘Open Search’ did nothing for me (not a huge deal, because it would require keyboard interaction anyway)

  2. I have my number keys set as shortcuts for ‘Set or play cue (#)’. On the keyboard, if no cue is set, it sets that number. If a cue is set, it plays from that cue WHILE PRESSED. However, I can’t emulate that on the streamdeck. I get the right behavior to set the cue buy using the ‘Cue’ action on the StreamDeck, but pressing the button simply plays from that point (no WHILE PRESSED type action)

Overall, I am in love!!! The combination of actions plus hotkeys that fully fit the workflow I have gotten used to will DEFINITELY be a timesaver.

Yeah while pressed is not possible with the stream deck I think, because it calls the Lexicon API once and it’s not a “continuous” call. Would be possible with new action and an API change though… But it’s a bit tricky
