weneed to diy 10 motor ( i can use zigbee relays ) to control them. they are curtain motors running together with the curtains (like Aqara pre build motors)

and then i need to use window open/close sensors to give feeback signal for the motors to stop at the right positions.


Since we use Qlab a theatre software to run entire shows cue list we want to hubitat and qlab to "talk together" , qlab can output all kinds of protokols.. I hope to find a way to trigger scene in hubitat from script or ?

and recieve output signal from zigbee switch / windows sensors.. from hubitat back to trigger stuff in qlab


The simplest way to start may be to use Maker API. It allows you to expose devices via an HTTP interface. If you install the Built-In Maker API App, it will show you example HTTP calls at the bottom of the page, some for retrieving information about a device, but also the ability to call commands for a device. You could use this to trigger a device that either itself activates a scene, or if needed, setup a virtual device and some rules, whatever suits your needs.


Out of curousity I looked for "WTF is Qlab".

I did find out that it can trigger an Art-Net protocol message (what ever this is ).

Then I found this thread:

Any interest in Art-Net / DMX? - Developers - Hubitat

"Smart Stage"' I love it

Good luck


used this : Send Device Command (replace [Device ID] with actual subscribed device id and [Command] with a supported command. Supports optional [Secondary value]

[Device ID]/[Command]/[Secondary value]?access_token=eac74dc6-883a-4f39-b444-2f97847cac43


and modified to : Send Device Command (replace [Device ID] with actual subscribed device id and [Command] with a supported command. Supports optional [Secondary value]
