This module allows you to control the PTZOptics SuperJoy Controller. It provides all the functionality available in the SuperJoy HTTP-CGI Commands documentation as of January 2, 2026.
A demostration video BitFocus Companion - PTZOptics SuperJoy Module 2.0.0 is available on YouTube.
Configuration Instructions
Caveats
Upgrading from 1.0.0
The 1.0.0 package treated each Camera Group as a separate device. The Camera Group was set in the configuration and only cameras for that group could be controlled. This version more closely follows the behavior of the hardware so only one Companion Connection should be made for each SuperJoy Controller. The 1.0.0 version Configuration, Actions, and Feedbacks will be automatically upgraded for any existing connections, but the user will need to merge them to a single instance if multiple instances of 1.0.0 were used.
The Controller has no Group or Camera specific state
The SuperJoy does not maintain any internal state about a Group, Camera, or Preset which might be expected by the user. This can cause Feedbacks and Variables to have possibly unexpected results. This is best explained by the following scenario.
The state of the controller is now Group=1, Camera=2, Preset=2 and Feedbacks and Variables in Companion will reflect that state. The controller did not "remember" that when Group 1 was last selected the Camera and Preset were 1 and set them back. Companion is only informed of the camera change. To get back in sync, simply select an Companion action that sets the Group, Camera, and Preset.
HDMI Output Status
Users may be confused by the behavior of the HDMI Output Status behavior. When the HDMI Output button on the controller is selected the on/off state is toggled and unaffected by further selecting a camera from the controller. The API behavior is different. It provides the ability to set the HDMI Output by toggling, turning on, or turning off. When executed by Companion as an Action, this will immediately change the HDMI Output Status and be reflected in any Feedbacks. However, the behavior of selecting a camera in the CGI API is that when a camera is selected, it also turns the HDMI output on. So, if you have disabled HDMI Output, then changes cameras via Companion, the HDMI Output will be re-enabled. If you want to have it always off, you will need to add additional Actions to each button selecting cameras to also turn off the HDMI output.
