Adder AVM Companion Module

This module connects to an Adder AVM Receiver and allows for connecting and disconnecting presets. Logs have been added to identify connection errors.

This module is provided "as is" without any warranties, express or implied. The developer assumes no responsibility for any issues, malfunctions, or damages that may arise from its use. By using this module, you acknowledge that you do so at your own risk. Compatibility with future versions of Bitfocus Companion and Adder AVM is not guaranteed.

Actions

Refresh Presets

Requests the current list of presets from the receiver and saves them into your configuration. Included as a button action if needed, but is also found as the 'Learn' function in the Connect Preset Action. When using Bitfocus Companion, you will need to use this action to get the current state.

Connect Preset

Connects the receiver to a preset defined in it's preset list.

Option	help
Learn	Refreshes available presets. (Only available on Companion)
Preset	Name of the Preset to connect.

Disconnect

• Action to disconnect connected receiver.

Feedback

Preset Connection Status

A Feedback option that allows for different button background/text colours based on the state of the connections specified in the Actions. These colours can be customized. The selected Preset to track is required to provide the correct feeback

• What does this feedback provide? Whenever a connection is attempted, the receiver will return a success or failure. The feedback will change the background based on this state. It will also provide feedback for a video loss event if configured. These are possible states:

State	Explanation
Disconnected	When the preset is disconnected. This will return the disconnected colours (Default Red/White) configured by the user.
Connected	Returns configured Button/Text colour (Default Green/Black) when all configured actions connected successfully
Video Loss	Returns Configured Button/Text Colour (Default Orange/Black) when a video loss message has been received from the Receiver. The user can configure a custom message to replace the Text during a video loss event.

• When does feedback get updated? Feedback will get updated whenever the Action is attempted. When Listening for Events is enabled, the Buttons feedback will get refreshed whenever a message is received.

Additional Help and Tips:

• The feedback Preset Connection Status will allow you to receive feedback based on the response from the receiver.
• If you have enabled "Listen for Events" and are using feedback, the button will update if a "Video Loss" event is triggered.
• Can be used with Companions Step options or Duration Groups to add Disconnection Features. Adding a Step 2 or Duration Group combined with the Disconnect Preset will allow you to toggle the connection on the same button.
• You can use the Internal Feedback "Logic: operation" to create Logical AND or Logical OR conditions when combining multiple AVM receivers on a single button.

Boolean Feedbacks

Two boolean feedbacks have been provided to allow for further customization and for compatibility with Bitfocus Buttons. These are the "Preset Connection Status - Boolean" and "Video Status - Boolean".

Preset Connection Status - Boolean

Returns "true" if a success message is received while connecting. By combining two of these, one inverted, you can track when a preset is connected or disconnected. This will also return "true" if the preset is connected with no video.

Video Status - Boolean

Returns "true" if a Video Loss event is detected. You can use this to track if Video Loss is detected and add custom styling.

Tips:

• Combining multiple boolean feedbacks will give you similar results to the advanced feedback but with more customization.
• Order is important, the last feedback will take precedent. For example, if you want to have a Green Background when connected, but an orange background when Video Loss occurs, Video Loss should come after Connection Status.

Additional Tips

Using Multiple Receivers

Companion allows for connecting multiple modules. You can use this to control multiple receivers and create a single action to connect multiple receivers to presets. This give the flexibility to connect several AVM devices with one button.

• Feedback can be added to track different AVM Receiver connections on the same button. Using the Logic: operation internal Feedback, you can add multiple conditions in the AND. If all receivers return connected, it will then activate the styling defined.
