===Wintermute Remotes===

Remote outstations {{ :concepts:wmremote_inuse.png?nolink&200|}} are a key part of Wintermute's ecosystem; they allow for rich control options for performers, technicians and FoH staff in rehearsal and show running, and have a variety of information and chat displays to further facilitate their work.

The software is available in the [[downloads:start|downloads]] section, and will run on any Android device version Pie (9.0) or later.

==Configuration==

Beyond installing and starting the software on the device, and setting a static IP, all other configuration is done within Wintermute:

  * Initialize the Remote system with ''[[commands:remote_node_commands:init_remotes]]'' - the port will be 7100, and the IP should be the broadcast address for the subnet of the network the remotes sit on.
  * Set up each of your remotes as nodes with ''[[commands:general_node_commands:new_node]]'' - again, the port is 7100, name and type are arbitrary, the ''tcp'' flag should not be used, but the ''keepalive'' flag can be set to notify users of a failure of disconnection
  * Each of your remote nodes should the be configured using the ''[[commands:remote_node_commands:node_remotesetup]]'' command.

This is the minimum to get each remote station displaying [[[[concepts:remotes:buttons]].

Beyond this, you can then:

  * Add further pages with the [[commands:remote_node_commands:node_addpage]], giving each page a [[concepts:remotes:layout]]
  * Populate each page layout with [[concepts:remotes:layout_objects]], which are the various interfaces/displays that the software supports.

Note also the ''[[commands:remote_node_commands:reset_remotes]]'' command - this should generally be run before each show to force the remotes to re-aquire their settings.

//Note that the software is designed for screens in landscape orientation.//
