Loupedeck Support

Hello.
I saw on the v3.952 update that there had been some initial work done to support Loupedeck devices. Stream Deck is already here, so I wonder, could we also get Loupedeck?

I think the Loupedeck API might be more or less straight forward, though I get the tooling isn't great (especially on MacOS) given it's done in C#.

unfortunately the official API won't work for BTT because as you mentioned it's C#. However there are ways to directly talk to the device without using the API.

I did the base work for this, but had to move it to next year due to various other features/improvements I'm currently working on ;-(

Hello @Andreas_Hegenberg, thank you for replying.

I saw some projects on Github around Node.js APIs to interact with Loupedeck and even a full replacement to the Loupedeck Software with Node. I don't know how well those could/couldn't integrate with BTT, but indeed it seems like interacting with the devices is a matter of sending the correct calls over to the device (usually something like /dev/cu.usbmodemXXX or similar, if I recall correctly).

I'll eagerly await for any news. Thanks!

I am also looking forward to whatever Andreas is going to come up with! :+1:

Note that there is also the Razer Stream Controller X which resembles the Elgato Stream Deck but which software support is based on Loupedeck.

Hi Andreas, has there been any other work done to support Loupedeck in some way? The main thing I would love would be a BTT plugin for Loupedeck so that I could set the scroll wheel to a trackpad rotate gesture. That would allow me to set up a profile for Pixelmator Pro where the canvas could rotate based on the control knob. Would be an incredible feature for any canvas apps that can rotate with a trackpad!

unfortunately no support for LoupeDeck yet ;-(

After loupedeck and Logitech's effective discontinuation of the loupedeck software I reckon if you could manage to get BTT talking you would have a load more users sign up.. Your interface is superior and has better control for new versions of software installing but not 'borking' all the presets. Rotary control is a big use for me in After effects..
Pretty Please ! :slight_smile:

It's not so much a discontinuation but more like the software will be rebranding. If I understood the conversation over at Discord correctly it's more like it's just going to be rebranded since the Logitech devices (Creative console or something) seems to be using the same software or a fork of it.
That being said, there are some Loupedeck devices discontinued and no longer supported and I guess that's just life, even if not nice for the end users

(yes, there's a discord for Loupedeck devs that even has a small presence of Logitech folks)
