I am setting up a newsdesk and would like an LED light panel to turn on when I fade in a camera.
Is there any way to do this? I can find a way to light up tally lights but not entire LED panels.
Thanks

You can use an X-keys USB HD15 Wire Interface

Thanks for this. That x-keys does what I want but the power relay device in that Youtube video is only for US sockets.
I can't find a UK one, unless someone knows of one?

From what I gataher, Arduino can only control tally lights, not other external mains devices, right?

It can only control low-power LED tally light directly, but if the Arduino output was used to control a relay with a higher power rating, or an electronic triac switch, then it could control much higher power loads - anything's possible.

But the functionality is limited to tally lights, not triggering lights through shortcuts no?
FOr example I want a light to come on when a video clip is being played and then off again at the end of the clip.
