Hi, 

Is it possible to switch to a certain Stream Deck page via an automated script? 

E. G. Switch to a packs/bleed page based on APU state. 

Thanks, Daz

Unfortunately not, the StreamDeck SDK doesn't have a feature like that. 

OK, that is not entirely correct, TMBK one can call a page in code that is a (fixed) part of the manifest file of the plugin. But then all  possible contents of the AAO plugin (=all existing profiles!) would have to be hard coded, the users would lose the flexibility to just add a new profile whenever they want. At least that is how I understand the spec.

I am watching the developments in the StreamDeck SDK closely all the time - this is a feature that I would like to see too. Maybe there will be something like this in the future.

OK, thanks. 

I'm not an expert, but could it be a workaround to create a multi-action where the second action is a script with [rpn condition] followed by another action with a page or profile change? It's just a theory and I don't know how such a multi-action would work if you want to switch or trigger other actions in the meantime.

Note that a plugin can only switch to read-only profiles declared in its manifest.json file.

So you can switch to other profiles programmatically, but only those that are declared in/with your plugin. Which means that a user would have to add all profiles that he wants to access to the manifest.json file of the AAO plugin. I could probably do that with my StreamDeck Editor, but by and large the process seemed too convoluted (and I never got it to work properly), so I did not even implement an AAO action that uses that switchToProfile command.

No. The multi-action doesn't care about what the AAO action with the condition does. It does not wait for it or evaluate the result.
