Stageflow

This module controls the Stageflow timing app by Neumann&Müller GmbH & Co. KG.

Configuration

Enter the Stageflow host (e.g. stageflow.local) and port (e.g. 2703), or pick a discovered instance from the Bonjour list. The Stageflow app must be running with a valid licence - the network port only opens after the licence has been confirmed in the app.

Actions

Timer control

• Start, Pause, Start/Pause, Reset/Restart, Reset & Pause, Clear
• Set direction: count down / count up (only while the timer is stopped)
• Add or reduce time (seconds or minutes)
• Set / clear warn time
• Define Preset (input time, warn time, direction, optional direct start)
• Choose Preset - recalls a preset defined in the Stageflow remote. Note: Preset IDs start at 0 (the first preset in the list is ID 0).

Display control (each with a Mode option, see below)

• Show/hide timer, current time, date, time bar, minus sign
• Show timer in seconds, leading zeros (minutes/hours)
• Blink screen / background when time is up
• Stop at 0 (no overtime count), sync seconds, NTP sync
• Blackout, Flash

Messages

• Define message / fullscreen message (supports variables)
• Show/hide message / fullscreen message on stage

The Mode option (Toggle / On / Off)

Display-control actions have a Mode option:

• Toggle flips the current state - works with every Stageflow version.
• On / Off set the state explicitly. For Blackout, Flash, Show message and Show fullscreen message this works with every Stageflow version. For the remaining display toggles it requires a Stageflow app version that supports value assignment for toggle commands; older versions will toggle instead.

Feedbacks

• Timer is active (running / running & time not up / running & time is up)
• Time is up
• Warn time reached
• Stageflow state is on (any display/message state)

Variables

combined, hours, minutes, seconds, currentTime, state, direction, timeIsUp, warnTime, preparedMessage, preparedFullscreenMessage, and one preset_N variable per Stageflow preset.

Notes

• Count-up timers start at the configured input time (not at 0). Use an input time of 0 for a plain stopwatch.
• The timer display is computed locally from the host-synchronized clock, so it stays accurate even though Stageflow only broadcasts on state changes.
