Edelkrone control #1563

Open Operon95 opened 1 month ago

Operon95 commented 1 month ago

Any chance of supporting Edelkrone brand of camera movement control devices? If you are familiar with the Edlekrone products of camera movement control devices then you will see an obvious need for Companion integration. (www.edelkrone.com) Whilst Edelkrone has an iOS interface for device configuration and implication, the ability to trigger camera movements from a Stream Deck interface is extant. Furthermore, there exists creating an enhanced integration with BlackMagic ATEM devices.

The Edelkrone hardware is controlled by Bluetooth and there is no API or possibility for Companion to control it. The Edelkrone APP has no API or protocol that would make it controllable from any external device.

We have an Edelkrone Link Adapter that specifically does provide a documented API. It connects to the devices via Bluetooth or wired connection, and connects to a host computer via USB.

We're doing all sorts of Companion-based control of our Edelkrone hardware using the generic http module.

Specifically, we do the following all via Companion (this would be much better with a module and not custom http commands):

Then please attach the API or a permanent link to it here or the chances that somebody picks up this issue are quite low.
