Originally posted by Ljcurfew View PostIm on a Mac, so I cant really test it. Does it reflect the status of the devices in HS?
For dimmers it only works on two values, but I'm using 255 (Last) for On, and 0 for Off.
I've only got the 3-rows with 5-columns model Stream Deck, and already wishing I got the larger one
Stream Deck supports folders though, so 15 buttons can be transferred into 15 folders with each their own 14 buttons (one is reserved to navigate upwards).
So, at 3-levels deep you could add 15 * 14 * 14 = 2,940 HomeSeer actions, but I'm happy with the 5 that I added on main screen for now to quickly control a few devices.
PS: Speed is incredible, almost feels instant both in action as in display feedback to show status when pushing button on device, and at a max like a quarter to half a second when using my phone to initiate the action before Stream Deck updates status to match.

Now I need to find a small factor Windows PC for this projectand a USB <-> cat 5 adaptor to get the stream deck up on the wall

As jon00 mentioned, a tablet running a HSTouch interface might be more what you are after if there is a need for advanced visual feedback (status/graphs/animations/etc.)

If you don't want to edit that file, it's possible that just changing the last property and back might save the other changes, but I haven't tested that.

Although Elgato state that you cannot run a Stream Deck over a long USB lead because of the power requirement to run the in-built screen, I am happily running mine over a 10-metre (i.e. 30-foot) 'active' USB lead that includes a plug-in power amplifier half way along it. Search for 'USB Active Extension Cable With Signal Booster' on Amazon.
