DeviceJockey Guide
Commands and Events
Commands send actions to your environment. Events bring information back to your items.
Commands
Control devices and applications.
Commands are assigned to actions on an item. A button can send a command when you tap it. A slider or rotary control can send commands while you change its value. The selected interface determines which commands are available and where they are sent.
A button sends an OBS command to switch the current program scene.
Events
Reflect changes on your panel.
Events control items with information received from devices, applications, or DeviceJockey itself. An event can move a slider, change a label, or switch a button light on and off. The selected interface determines which events are available.
OBS reports that a scene is active. The matching button receives an event and lights up.
