🌊 DeckSurf - The Open Stream Deck CLI & Tooling

Lightweight and open way to manage your Stream Deck device.

To get started, it's necessary to create a new profile, with a set of commands that will be associated with a button on the Stream Deck. To do that, you can use the write command in the Piglet CLI.

Usage:
  deck write [options] 

Options:
  -d, --device-index <device-index> (REQUIRED)  Index of the connected device, to which a key setting should be
                                                written. [default: -1]
  -k, --key-index <key-index> (REQUIRED)        Index of the key that needs to be written. [default: -1]
  -l, --plugin <plugin> (REQUIRED)              Plugin that contains the relevant command. [default: ]
  -c, --command <command> (REQUIRED)            Command to be executed. [default: ]
  -i, --image-path <image-path> (REQUIRED)      Path to the default image for the button. [default: ]
  -g, --action-args <action-args> (REQUIRED)    Arguments for the defined action. [default: ]
  -p, --profile <profile> (REQUIRED)            The profile to which the command should be added. [default: ]
  -?, -h, --help                                Show help and usage information

The following arguments are used, and are required:

The created profile will be located in %LOCALAPPDATA%\DenDev\{PROFILE_NAME}. The settings are stored in a profile.json file within the profile folder.

I was fiddling with the default Stream Deck software, and realized that it was constantly scanning my registry and process tree. According to Elgato support, this is necessary for Smart Profiles; however, the process monitoring occurs even when Smart Profiles are not configured. While the feature itself is nice, I wasn't too comfortable with some software constantly monitoring what I run without a way to disable that, so I decided to tinker with the device and see if I can figure out how to write my own software that manages the Stream Deck device.

No - not in any capacity. Use at your own leisure and risk.

This repository generally should be a good starting point, but you can also go to https://deck.surf for latest links and relevant information.

Not yet - I am still exploring the best way to make this tooling reliably work on Windows. Once that is done, I would love to make this also work on macOS and Linux.

Not yet - it's just a CLI and a .NET SDK. In the future, I expect to also create a more visual approach to managing the content, that is easier for folks that don't want to fiddle with the terminal.
