Elgato Stream Deck Pedal #1902

Closed vincentberry closed 2 years ago

vincentberry commented 2 years ago

Is this a feature relevant to companion itself, and not a module?

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the feature

Elgato has just released a new product the "Stream Deck Pedal", following the logic of companion, it would be nice to have integrated power on companion.

Secondly, controlling the depression of the pedal in companion would be a good idea.

Usecases

Being able to activate macros with the feet.

Julusian commented 2 years ago

This is planned (hopefully in time for 2.2), and is waiting on one of the core devs receiving a pedal or for help with support at https://github.com/Julusian/node-elgato-stream-deck/issues/36

martinszugat commented 2 years ago

Hi Julusian,

I've tested v2.2 but Companion didn't find the Pedal device. So I assume it is not supported, yet. Right?

Best,

Martin

josephdadams commented 2 years ago

Correct, not yet supported @martinszugat

martinszugat commented 2 years ago

Thanks for the quick response, Joseph. If there is any easy way to get notified, when the device will be supported, please let me know. Otherwise I'll check the new releases.

Julusian commented 2 years ago

@martinszugat when it is supported this issue will be closed. you will get an email from github when that happens

velocity23 commented 2 years ago

+1 from me - this would be super useful

Julusian commented 2 years ago

In theory the pedal is supported in the betas, but I haven't had confirmation from anyone if it does or does not work

ehfyn commented 2 years ago

Super useful feature to have the pedal support! We would use it in our production to control for example PowerPoint, teleprompters etc. It would be gold if an implementation would work with the Satellite feature on Raspberry Pi’s, since we have deployed a handful of those in our studios and in our control rooms.

Any idea when it will be included in a stable release?

Julusian commented 2 years ago

It is already included in the latest build of satellite https://github.com/bitfocus/companion-satellite/releases/tag/v0.5.0-0, but I havent heard from anyone whether it works. Assuming the changes in beta work, then it will be in the 2.2.1 release that will hopefully be done within a couple of weeks

ehfyn commented 2 years ago

I have just ordered a pedal - will test it, hopefully soon!

velocity23 commented 2 years ago

I’ve got a pedal as well, if there’s anything specifically the team needs tested feel free to let me know!

liamsomerville commented 2 years ago

@velocity23 my use case would be with a atem video switcher to change the program source

Is there even a remote possibility you have an atem to test with?

Julusian commented 2 years ago

Someone on the facebook group has tried a pedal and reports that companion doesnt detect it. I believe @JeffreyDavidsz has ordered one, so hopefully I can get some help from them in figuring out what is wrong.

@liamsomerville it doesnt need to be tested with an atem specifically, once it works in companion at all it will work just like any other stream deck

kraves-oz commented 2 years ago

@velocity23 can you download the latest beta and see if it works.

velocity23 commented 2 years ago

Not being recognized as a USB device on the latest beta

JeffreyDavidsz commented 2 years ago

Missed the mailman today, pedal shall arrive tomorrow.could be as simple as a different product ID. I'll check it

ehfyn commented 2 years ago

Also tested here, but only from Companion Satellite (RPI4) - nothing shows in the "Surfaces" list. How should it be detected, and how is it planned to configure it within Companion? (i don't imagine an image of a pedal, like on the elgato software?)

Julusian commented 2 years ago

Once it works, it will show up as a surface, and behave as if it is a 3x1 button streamdeck. Nothing else special will be shown.

An important feature to be aware of, is that in the settings for the pedal in the surfaces tab of companion, is that you are able to adjust the position within the grid, so that it isnt using buttons from the top left corner. For example, you could move it to the top right, so that it can use the space which is unused on a 15 key streamdeck image

ehfyn commented 2 years ago

Ahh okay, that makes perfectly sense! :) Hope to have it working with satellite soon, since it's a killer feature! I'm currently looking into modding the pedal, so it becomes a bit more silent in operation, so our mics don't pick it up so easy.

JeffreyDavidsz commented 2 years ago

Hi guys, update; we have updated the beta with a fix. My pedal is working now to. Small reminder; if you have a page up programmed on 1.1 (which is default) the left pedal will click you to the second page ;-) So I use the x offset hahaha
