I am an idiot. Just checked the QLC+ 5 Status document and see that the web interface is missing from version 5.

Is there any other way to control QLC+ 5 remotely? I have scripts that run only on v5 and would like to trigger them from an external input.

You could use the Web Interface of v4 and use it to trigger an artnet output which could then trigger your script in V5

Interesting, thank you very much @yestalgia - it sounds complicated but I shall try it
