Is there a way to start and stop a show from either the API or CLI or some other way? Can a show even run outside the scheduler? I am trying to make an easy way to change the lighting/mood on my undercabinet kitchen lights so people other than myself can do it. Right now I have shows setup (scheduler runs a 23 hour, 59 minute show) that basically just loop one sequence with the lights set for the different holiday seasons but only I can change that. I would like to expand the choices for daytime, nighttime, super bright, low light, colors...whatever else I can think of. But to do that I need to be able to quickly and easily switch from one to the other. More important, my wife needs to be able to do it too. I was thinking if I could create a show for each holiday or mood or color I could just have some magic button on a webpage that has script behind it that stops the current show and starts the selected one. I know this is not what Vixen was meant to do.... As a side note, I have Vixen running all year on the kitchen lighting and also pixel lighting on my dock. It is definitely more than just for holiday lighting!
