I am wondering - is there any way - to have a trigger somehow turn the on-air light from vmix? I realize it might be a dream - but I'd love it if the RECORD somehow triggered the on-air light? the light is a leviton - if that helps. Any thoughts on this?

Can trigger it by almost anything including Stream being active. Personally I use rtpMidi for midi over network into a controller to give me control and visual feedback (2 way connection). So if theres a way to get midi into your system, then yeah, definitly possible.

Then have IFTTT use the "New file in your folder" trigger to affect the action to turn on your light.
