Hello,  
I have discovered there were many Bluetooth Page Turners on Amazon.  
They are used by musicians or people who want to turn the page of their ebooks with footswitch. It seems to simulate a page down / page up or left / right

Is it possible to use them with BTT and to customize completely the usage of each pedal ? I mean being able to see the Bluetooth Footswitch is sending a specific signal and transform it into an action of BTT

Thanks

it depends on whether they’ll show up as hid devices, then you could use BTT’s Generic Device support (would require a custom script, but most likely a very simple one)

Unfortunately I don’t have any experience with such devices

i have received my page turner. It works fine simulating left/right arrow or up/down arrow, but is it possible to make BTT react to the press with another action than sending the arrow ?  
I have added the Generic Device  
And went to analyzer : here is the result when i press a button :

How can i use these information to create a script to do something configurable ?  
Thanks

oh sorry i have found an easier way to do what i wanted  
As the page turner appears as a keyboard on my Mac, I just have to add a keyboard shortcut and say that i want it to work only with that specific keyboard.  
I can then assign another shortcut based on the application and it works fine !  
What a great tool 🙂
