Stream Deck API Library

streamdeckapi

Stream Deck API Library for Home Assistant Stream Deck Integration

Only compatible with separate Stream Deck Plugin or the bundled server.

Server inside docker container

The docker image allows you to use the streamdeckapi server inside a docker container.

Usage

docker run -v /dev/hidraw7:/dev/hidraw7 -v ./data/streamdeckapi:/streamdeckapi/data -p 6153:6153 --privileged ghcr.io/patrick762/streamdeckapi:main

Note: You have to change hidraw7 to the path of your Stream Deck. You can find this path by using lshid (https://pypi.org/project/lshid/).

Limitations

• No zeroconf discovery
• No doubleTap event
