BUTTON TRIGGERS / A LITTLE MORE INTERACTION

A little press.
A different story.

Let the moment choose the message. A keyboard or compatible button can call up a video, audio clip or playlist once. Then Lucy returns to the normal playlist or current schedule.

Set the key.
Choose the content.
Publish the moment.

A compatible USB or Bluetooth controller supplies ordinary keyboard input. Lucy connects that key to the action you choose.

Your screen More screen actionsButton triggers
Set up your screen in Lucy
  1. 01

    Open your screen’s button settings.

    Select a screen in Lucy. Open More screen actions (⋯), beside Publish screen, then choose Button triggers.

  2. 02

    Match the key your button sends.

    Use Learn key when the controller is connected to the computer running the editor. For a controller connected to a remote player, enter its configured key manually. A and B make a simple starting point.

  3. 03

    Choose what each press plays.

    Pick a video, an audio clip or a playlist. Choose whether clip sound follows its saved setting or is switched on or off. Configure up to 16 bindings for the screen.

  4. 04

    Enable, save and publish.

    Enable button triggers and the bindings you want, then save. Use Publish screen to send the configuration and its content to the player.

04 / THE NORMAL SHOW STILL HAS ITS PLACE

A moment on demand.
A schedule to return to.

Back to what belongs on screen.

When the chosen content finishes, Lucy returns to the normal playlist or current schedule. Your saved screen assignment stays in place.

Ready in the local cache.

The managed Lucy Player receives and verifies button content when you publish. Each configured press starts from saved content, without a cloud request for every press.

Playing hours still matter.

Paused screens and rest hours ignore button input. Held keys, repeats and further presses during an active button action are ignored too.

Bring the right button to the right player. Use Lucy Player 0.4.15 or later. Check your controller’s keyboard output, media decoding and audio output on the intended hardware before rollout. A controller that sends ordinary keys is the starting point; compatibility depends on the device.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS

Before the
first press.

Which button controllers can I use?

Use a compatible USB or Bluetooth controller that behaves like an ordinary keyboard. Match each button to its configured key, such as A or B. The controller and its key output must be supported by your player; check your intended hardware before rollout.

What can a button play?

Choose an uploaded video, a supported MP3, M4A or WAV audio clip, or a whole playlist. Video and audio play to their natural end; a selected playlist plays through once. Clip sound can inherit the saved setting or be switched on or off. Audio format and output support depend on the player.

What happens when the button content finishes?

Lucy returns to the normal playlist or whichever schedule is current. When the normal content has not changed, playback resumes its place. The button action does not replace your saved playlist or schedule.

Does every button press need an internet request?

On the managed Lucy Player, button content is published with the screen and verified in its local cache. Playing a configured button does not require a new cloud request for each press. Publishing changes and normal online account checks still use your connection. Live streams and connected widgets need their data connection.

What happens if the screen is paused or someone keeps pressing?

Buttons are ignored while the screen is paused or outside its playing hours. Holding a key or sending repeat events does not start extra playbacks. Further presses are ignored while a button action is already playing.

MAKE SPACE FOR A LITTLE INTERACTION

Your content.
Their next move.

Give a button something worth playing. Keep the rest of your screen story moving with Lucy.
