Re: [cisco-voip] Questions about in-room controls and macros

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Cool. Thanks for the CiscoLive link…. I’ll take a look there after I do some 
more tutorials.

I did some experimenting to try and replicate what I saw on Github and think I 
understand the highlights a bit better now.

The fact that you can have multiple macros makes me wonder, which takes 
precedence if two macros are “waiting” for the same thing.

The other thing I can’t see is a way to manage things dynamically. It looks 
like you have to load things manually. If you update a macro, you have to 
reload it. On each device. Even if you have a hundred of them.

I can appreciate that there might be APIs for me to use to go and push out 
update to each device, but it still requires me to maintain an inventory. I was 
hoping for the system to say “check for updates on these macros and load them 
in if there are changes” or something like that.

OK. What I’m _really_ hoping for is that Control Hub to have templates to apply 
to devices. _That_ would be great.

I have never done this before, but according to:

Integrated, Automated Meetings Rooms with CE xAPI and Macros - 
DEVNET-2071<https://www.ciscolive.com/c/dam/r/ciscolive/us/docs/2019/pdf/DEVNET-2071.pdf>

Yes they run as soon as you enable them, and yes they can just do nothing until 
a certain triggering event occurs.

Yes you can load multiple macros on a system.  You can enable them individually 
too.  Just be sure to save it first, else you wont be able to enable it.  See 
below where I have two creatively named macros, doing amazing things, and one 
is enabled while the other is not.

  *   Are macros always "running" ? It seems like this is the case... but a 
Macro can run and listen without doing anything until a certain action happens
  *   Is there just one macro loaded per system or can you load multiple 
macros? The GUI seems a bit confusing
