Control all your lights with the STREAMDECK

[@TriHouse]

This is by far the best tutorial I've seen for this, and HOLY that is some high quality D&D

[@Atmoseeker]

Thanks very much!

[@ConstructedChaos]

WOW!! What a wealth of information! I feel as if I’ve been taken on an adventure and have been rewarded with the dragon’s horde! I need to start making more use of my stream deck!

[@Atmoseeker]

Haha Thanks buddy! The streamdeck is a fantastic piece of gear!

[@austindale3129]

First off, absolutely fantastic video! Came to watch because I wanted to know about the stream deck and became mesmerized by the D&D setup and I have never played it in my life nor am I gamer or any kind. The lighting and the sets are amazing, whisked me right away!

[@Atmoseeker]

Thanks very much! My favourite way to play D&D!

this video is amazing !!! its all i ever wanted to know about lights and the elgato system... im blown away and im diving into this right now wow !!!! thank you so so so much !!

Absolutely stunning work. I do not understand why your channel's not bigger. You absolutely deserve to be mainstream with the amount of creativity and focus you have. Well done. I always learn a lot when I watch your videos.

[@Atmoseeker]

Thanks mate, always appreciate the support! I think I would put it down to being inconsistent with uploads. I have kids and work full time, so it might be a month or more between videos. That said, it is a goal of mine to work out production a bit better so I can get more ideas out there.

Since I’m in the Mack ecosystem, I can get most of this done with an old iPad and HomeKit. But I love how you’ve integrated the non-HomeKit devices into the touch panel and I just looked and oh Lord they have a foot pedal! :-) Thanks for the breakdown and for the steps on how to get these things into AFF. Greatly appreciated.

[@TheBattlinBarrowGaming]

Hey thanks for this video. Most useful. I have taken a step in lighting my gaming room for my next adventure where I need an ocean wave effect. I bought a cheap wave light projector IR controlled. I thought it will do for now see how we get on and in the future replace it with something that can be SteamDeck controlled (when I get one) but thanks to this I can see its not a wasted investment as I can use an IR blaster and control it via SteamDeck. Sounds I wrote my own soundboard application ( I am a software engineer by trade) that I control with a home made "steamdeck" (I have a video about it) but even my home made software from watching this I think I can even use a real steamdeck with that! Really useful video. Thank you.

[@Atmoseeker]

Thanks mate! Glad you found it helpful. Those wave lights go a long way, definitely one of my favourites.

[@HappyDoesYoutube]

So years later I'm now trying to do lighting for my game room, I can't find any of the same lights that you use and was wondering if you could maybe renew the links or just make an entirely new video with what you've learned over the last couple years of your lighting set up

[@mikeg9493]

Thanks Sebastian for this video. I’ve been looking forward to this one on your channel and it’s going to be a huge help. Curious if you will ever be doing a video on how you create your DMX lighting storm effect in qlc+? Thanks friend and keep up the amazing videos!

[@Atmoseeker]

Thanks mate! This is a great idea to break down some of these lighting animations. Definitely taking this on board 👍 Everyone's fixture setup will be unique, but I'm happy to share how I've gone about making mine.

[@Hub2Connect]

Thats awesome, however I would love to see a video or instruction to control the Godox ES45 with the stream deck. I was doing a search and got your video recommended.

[@Atmoseeker]

Thanks for watching! My first thought was if Godox was a service on IFTTT, then that could be triggered on the streamdeck, but unfortunately it's not there. Next I had a quick test with my godox SL-60w remote trying to get one of the RF blasters to work with it, but I think the ones I have can't do the right frequency. So my last thought is using a smart plug and triggering that off/on which seems to work well, but you don't get to control some of the settings on the light

[@Hub2Connect]

@@Atmoseeker Thanks a lot for taking the time to re-search and reply. I will try with smart plug and let's see.

[@Birfhum]

Very interesting! I've done something similar, but rather than using focus and hotkeys, I used a MIDI controller. My Elgato will send MIDI commands and it will be fed in QLC+ to change the scene, no need to focus on the app!

[@Atmoseeker]

That's a great idea! Will have to try that

[@Birfhum]

@@Atmoseeker I'll gladly provide more detailed instructions if it can help?

[@Atmoseeker]

@@Birfhum that would be amazing 😄

[@Birfhum]

​@@Atmoseeker 1- You will need an app that will allow midi to be sent through your computer. Think of it like a port, for midi controllers. I used "loopMIDI" and created a port named "streamdeck" 2- Within the streamdeck plugins, install Music - Midi by Trevliga Spel. 3- In Streamdeck, you can use the same calls you did before but, insteal of focus and keypress, use the midi controll. Choose Channel 1, then just select any key. I used 60+. On the midi out port, select the loopMIDI port you created previously. 4- In QLC+ under inputs/outputs, you should see the port you created previously. Make sure it is checked as an input 5- Have your scenes set up with functions and a virtual console, just like in your video. The only thing we will change will be, rather than having a key combination, we use an external input. You can use autodetect and press your key on your streamdeck to have it loaded up by QLC+ Hopefully this was clear and helpful!

[@Atmoseeker]

@@Birfhum thanks so much for listing this out! Looking forward to giving it a shot.

[@kevinlong3356]

I don't know if you've already covered this in a video, but how do you control the projector and where do you get the projector scenes from?

[@Atmoseeker]

Thanks for watching! There is a video on the way that'll look at that setup, but in short I use the streamdeck to open a local video file in full screen (with the projector/tv set as a second monitor). I use VLC player set as the default media player for video files. If a video is playing in full screen, a newly opened video will open in that existing full screen window. I create some video backgrounds for Patreon members, but a large chunk of what I use can be found in this playlist I've been curating kzbin.info/aero/PLn9FTf3gHbvgc_ys3lhZVPlVpqTTTWQCe

[@Graemebles]

Dying to know what kind of projector you use for your backgrounds and how you do that setup

[@Atmoseeker]

Thanks, yeah it's on the cards for a future video. That background is with a 36 inch old tv I found in the trash. I use it as a second monitor to open video files with the streamdeck when I change scenes.

[@DiceDragondnd]

did you make that dedicated video on how to setup sound on stream deck you mentioned in this video?

The information and way of explaining is perfect! congratulations! I'm trying to connect some DMX lights to my streamDeck, but I can't install the Focus Windows PLUGIN on my Stream Deck. When I hit the install button, nothing just happens. Do you know why this can happen? Thank you!

Hi there, great Vid! Do you need a bridge for Hue Lights to be controlled via Stream Deck? Or can you connect directly with the bluetooth like with the app?

Wowowowowowowwow Tysm I was wondering how to do that

Hey. Thanks for the VIdeo. Could you point me in the direction of using Soundswitch with the StreamDeck + ? They removed the MIDI app that used to speak with Sounsdwitch. Trying to figure out the new method for midi mapping Soundswitch to the stream deck Rather than Keyboard shortcuts, it will accept midi communication

[@Atmoseeker]

Thanks for watching! I've been primarily using QLC+ and haven't heard about the Soundswitch, looks pretty cool though! Been meaning to make the change to using midi for DMX with the streamdeck so will have to investigate it more. I thought there were still midi plugins on the streamdeck store.

[@FlutesLoot]

Masterful

[@Rig_JW]

Do you recommend Philips Hue Play? They are quite small and expensive. I would use them as a ambient light as I don't want to fill my room with any big stands (living room, not a dedicated space).

[@Atmoseeker]

Yeah they're quite pricey, but easy to set up. If you're in a living space I would more recommend some smart bulbs than hue plays. That way you can pop them in existing sockets or lamps. I use a couple of yeelight brand bulbs that are a bit more affordable, although they'll need IFTTT to change lighting scenes. I'm mostly using the hue plays here because they're more directional

[@Rig_JW]

@@Atmoseeker Thanks a lot. I'll probably do some mix of bulbs and 2 Play lamps to, as you said, add some more direct light.

[@Z_3D]

I regret getting the govee lights and not Phillips!

[@Atmoseeker]

Yeah I hear ya. I tried to save cash in some Govee led strips. Phillips is definitely pricier, but has a pretty nice ecosystem

[@takamikakusha]

All of your vids are super inspirational, makes me look forward to having a dedicated room so I can try all these out. On another note, where are those giant trees from? They look amazing, definitely gives more of a giant redwood/lothlorien feel.

The focus window plugin doesn't display any processes or a dropdown menu for me. Any idea what causes this or how to fix?

[@Atmoseeker]

Hey sorry to hear that. Yeah that plugin seems to be bugged for me too. I'm guessing because of some streamdeck updates. You can try an alternative plugin like the "Windows Mover & Resizer" by BarRaider to get the window to focus.

@@Atmoseeker Thanks for the suggestion! :)

[@iEdwinT]

What are you using to control the video feed on the screen?

[@Atmoseeker]

There is a video on the way that'll look at that setup, but in short I use the streamdeck to open a local video file in full screen (with the tv set as a second monitor). I use VLC player set as the default media player for video files. If a video is playing in full screen, a newly opened video will open in that existing full screen window.

[@iEdwinT]

Have you run into the problem of losing your mouse cursor on the display screen? I'm trying to find a simple VJ app to output to a tv or projector, but not have my OS see that screen as real estate my mouse can wander into.

[@Atmoseeker]

From time to time, but not enough to be bothered by it really. The simplest fix I've seen is in the multiple monitors settings, move the second screen from side by side to sit diagonally with the first monitor

[@Anthony-dbz111]

I have a little question. How do you get the image too pop up on the projector. I have my labtop a monitor now the projector. But my streamdeck 1 does not open full screen... and only opens on my main screen i have to drag it too projector. Helps

[@Atmoseeker]

For video backgrounds I use VLC player for my default program for opening videos. I'll then already have a video playing in VLC in full screen so when a new video file is opened by the streamdeck it'll open that in the already maximised window. If VLC tries to open a new window, there are settings in VLC to make sure it only has one instance of VLC playing.
