===Remote Buttons===

<box 50% right blue|Indexing> Do note that all buttons and pages of buttons in Wintermute are zero-indexed: that is, if you have a 6 x 4 grid of buttons, thew will be numbered 0-22 (the last button being reserved for page switching)</box>

Buttons on a remote station exist in a rectangular grid defined when the device is [[commands:remote_node_commands:node_remotesetup|initialised as a remote]]. This grid can represent multiple pages of buttons - the last button on each page is reserved for cycling through these pages.

Buttons can be initialised to do two thing:

  * Fire a given cue in the main and backup Qlab machines using ''[[commands:remote_node_commands:node_buttoncue]]''
  * Fire any single command from Wintermute using ''[[commands:remote_node_commands:node_buttoncommand]]''

Note that in both cases, the use of the ''live'' flag will mean that the button is not affected by Wintermute's [[concepts:interface_layout|remote button bypass]].

If the ''live'' flag is omitted, the button text will be surrounded with curly brackets ''{}'' and will be bypassed when the bypass is engaged - this feature is designed to stop rehearsal/maintenance cues accidentally being fired during a show.
