• Sorry for all the questions but when you're on linux does the Stream Deck remember settings you've set up using your phone app? Or does the Stream Deck no longer control the Key Lights when you're on Linux?

    Stream Deck relies on an app installed in Windows / Mac. The configuration of which buttons are where depends on which computer it is plugged into (it's a USB device) as it reads the config from that.

    For my sanity I use the same layout on Windows and Mac.

    If I adjust things via Hue, or the Control Center... then Stream Deck reflects this within a second. It's essentially polling state constantly or registered for notifications depending on what you're controlling with it. So it reflects the state all the time and if I use my phone to flick a light then the Stream Deck shows this.

    Just consider the Stream Deck as a customisable set of buttons that is connectable as a USB device. The buttons have displays in them, and this can show you whatever you want and can do so dynamically according to state.

  • Thanks. If Control Center is at the heart of the workflow and it doesn't run on my 3 yr old OS (Elvato have to take the blame for that one), this becomes a non-starter for me. You saved me a lot of ballache here - much appreciated.
