Hey @JasonBentch,

AbleSet doesn’t currently expose browser connection status as an OSC value, so there’s no way to read it directly in a Canvas template with dynamic colors.

That said, as a workaround, you can add an Embed element to your Canvas and set its source to /devices. This will show AbleSet’s Devices page, which lists all connected browsers along with their latency and connection status. It’s not the cleanest look since it renders the full page with the nav bar, but it gives you a live view of your iPads’ connection status right from your Canvas. You can resize and position the Embed element to fit a corner of your Canvas so it’s always visible at a glance.

Note: The Devices page is available starting from AbleSet 3.1.0 Beta 8, so make sure you’re running that version.

As for having dedicated OSC values for browser connection status that you could use with dynamic colors in Canvas, thank you for your suggestion, I’ll pass it along!

Hope that helps!
