Hey all, this feature can now be built using Canvas starting with AbleSet 3.0.0-beta.12. To do this, add a new input field to the canvas, and set the linked variable to message. Then, in the “Script on Enter” field, enter the following script:
sendOsc("/notify/big", "all", value);
setLocal("message", "");
This will show the message you entered on all connected devices and clears the input field when you press enter. Instead of “all”, you can also specify the names of devices that should receive the message, and instead of “/notify/big”, you can also use “/notify/toast” for a less bold notification style. You can find out more in the OSC docs.
You can also add a button that does the same as pressing enter by setting its type to “Script” and entering this in “Script on Press”:
sendOsc("/notify/big", "all", local("message"));
setLocal("message", "");
You can learn more about scripting in the docs.
Let me know if this works for your use case. I’m looking forward to your feedback!
