Device Key Condition

Now that we have StreamDeck integration, I would like to be able to test the condition of a StreamDeck key in an If/Then action.

You will have to track the state with pressed and released triggers. Which is somewhat fragile. But there is no other way I'm afraid.

You can have a trigger for repeating while it is down so that you can use that.

  • Trigger While key is down (every P seconds)

    • Set variable Last Seen to calculation NOW()
  • trigger on release

    • Set variable Last Seen to calculation NOW() - 99999

Then condition:

  • If variable NOW() - Last Seen < P+1

should work reasonably reliably.

How do I do every P seconds?

This seems to necessitate having the same trigger for both actions, but KM is asking me which one it should execute.

One can be "pressed", one can be "down", and they would count as different triggers.

But that probably wont work because I think it "is down" repeating will time out after a short while.

Is there a way to test if ANY key is pressed on the Streamdeck. That way I can have a global macro for every key that can set a variable 0 for UP and 1 for Down. And not have to make a separate test for each key.

I don't think so. I think you'll need to create a separate trigger (in the same macro) for each key.

Yeah. Good. That’ll work. Thank you.
