Can video capture module be activated by motion?

Post by Analog Being »

I'm looking to plug in a separate device for my music library
via video screen capture.

What I'm hoping to accomplish is that the device will activate with the motion from its remote, then automatically fade-out with inactivity after a specified amount of time.

I successfully hooked up the capture device. As a test, I used audio volume as the activate when on/fade out when off (using the transparency module). It works great!

But I'm wondering if I can do the same with motion, instead of audio (I don't want the device to show while audio is playing, only when choosing music).

Or, a keystroke to turn on/off the capture device. That would also work for me. Is there a way to program keystrokes to turn on/off a module?

Thank you!

There's an Android app that turns camera input into OSC.

You can use any midi or OSC device to turn off or bypass any module.
