This year we are implementing motion-activated Halloween scenes. When someone walks past the stage, the scene is activated. We use QLab Wirelessly to control our locations. QLab Wirelessly is the show control software for Mac.
I wanted to be able to trigger QLab Wirelessly playback from motion sensors wirelessly. QLab Wirelessly supports wake notifications via OSC (Open Sound Control) network commands.
I-CubeX recently released PiShield for Raspberry Pi, which supports interfacing sensors with Raspberry Pi. In addition, raspberry Pi supports Node-Red, a programming tool for connecting hardware peripherals, APIs, and online services. Node-Red will able to convert sensor data into OSC messages. The Raspberry Pi Zero W is Wi-Fi compatible and can transmit sensor data wirelessly to QLab Wirelessly .
I have successfully used the Ubiquiti UniFi range of Wi-Fi access points. I use the UAP-AC-M for outdoors. It works well when you need outdoor motion detectors. For interiors, I use the UAP-AC-PRO and the UAP-AC-HD. I mainly wanted to keep track of my steps to set this up.

Available with MIDI or our Legacy QLab Mode
The Q-Widget is pre-install with your choice of the firmware. We recommend the MIDI version in most cases – the MIDI version requires no drivers and works natively on Mac OS X and Windows PC. Legacy QLab mode is a specific mode for Figure53 QLab 3 users without a MIDI license; this mode requires a controller.
How about a Wireless or iPad/iPhone App?
Don’t risk losing your Wi-Fi signal when you need to activate a call. Ethernet packets can dropped and resented by design, adding latency to your movements. When playing cues for a show is essential, a wired remote is the ONLY reliable way to do it.
