What you’ll be able to do after reading this guide:

• Have viewers shock you with different intensity levels using MixPlay buttons or text commands
• Have viewers send vibrations or beeps with different intensity levels using MixPlay buttons or text commands
• Tips on how to best utilize Mix It Up features for a device like this

What you’ll need:

• Either Pavlok 1 or Pavlok 2 [cheaper renewed version here]
• Android device, iPhone or iPad
• Mix It Up [haven’t tested it in Firebot yet]

Pavlok setup

After ensuring your Pavlok is fully charged, strap it on your wrist, download the app [Android or iOS], sync it up via Bluetooth and test it out by using the Pavlok Remote built into the app.

Although setting it up is pretty straightforward, here are additional resources if you need help or have any questions about the Pavlok:

FAQ | Pavlok 1 Instructions | Pavlok 2 Instructions

Setting up Pavlok Unlocked

Pavlok Unlocked is the web app that connects our Pavlok device to the world. 

• Open up the Pavlok app
• Go to More
• Tap Redeem

• Type Unlock_Unlocked and hit OK

• Tap Grant access to my device

• Connect your existing account or create a new one
• You should see this page after connecting:

• Go back to the Pavlok app and go to the Home tab, then scroll down and tap Unlocked

• Create a new Shared Remote

• Name it [case sensitive], copy the URL and tap Generate Link

• Go to the Unlocked URL you just copied and test the functionality

You should have been able to beep, vibrate and zap your Pavlok right from the browser. There might be a delay, so don’t mind that. If for whatever reason this did not work, ensure that the Pavlok is charged and that your phone still has a valid connection to the device – just try beeping from the app. If you’re still having issues just let me know.

Playing with web requests

Obviously we don’t want viewers accessing the page we were just playing with, so instead we’ll be using Mix It Up to send web requests to the Pavlok by adjusting the URL.

Add /beep/150 to the end of your URL – it should look something like this:

https://pavlok-mvp.herokuapp.com/unlocked/remotes/*YOURNAME*/beep/150

Try that in a browser; your device should have beeped from that.

You could replace beep to vibrate or zap, with numbers ranging from 1 to 255.

Mix It Up MixPlay buttons

Viewers can control the Pavlok device via MixPlay buttons using Mix It Up.

Create a new MixPlay project here [or modify an existing one].
Make three new buttons – Beep, Vibrate & Zap, place them on all grids, then hit SAVE.

Open up Mix It Up, go to the MixPlay section and select your board [if you don’t see it, hit the refresh button].

Click Add Command for Beep, then click Advanced Command.

Select Web Request on the Action menu, then hit the + button.

Insert this URL [change the name] as the Web Request:

https://pavlok-mvp.herokuapp.com/unlocked/remotes/*YOURNAME*/beep/255

Hit the Play button to test it, then hit Save.

Repeat the steps for the other two buttons but change beep to vibrate and zap [see pictures]. Perhaps use something more than 5 for the zap if you can’t feel the shocky shocky.

Hit the Connect button in Mix It Up, head to your channel and hit the buttons. Yayy it works [hopefully]!

Tips and tricks

Cooldowns

Be sure to have a shared cooldown for all Pavlok related buttons and make it at least 30 seconds as sometimes there is an unforeseen delay.

Sound or Text To Speech

You can have a sound play so you know a Pavlok event has been trigger. Although this might take away from the surprise factor, it’s good to start out like this for anxiety reasons.

Ranks

If you’re using Mix It Up, you can allow only people of a certain rank to hit the button. Not only does this stop people from abusing the power, but it also grants another incentive to stick around the stream.

User trigger

When a user clicks the button, you can have said button change it’s text to show who actually pressed it – or have a seperate button that displays the status of the Pavlok [e.g. sorryaboutyourcats triggered zap 50]. You can also have this trigger in the chat window or as an overlay. Check out Mix It Up’s documentation for more information on how to achieve that.

Text command

You can also utilize the same actions and put it into a text command, although I would advise against this due to the fact that if too many actions are triggered, Pavlok will have a queue of them – meaning you can get zapped over and over and over and over again. You could restrict this usage to mods or subs only, or add a cooldown to it as well. Go to Commands, then Custom Commands if you want to mess with this.

Trigger for sub, dono, etc.

In the Events section of Mix It Up, you can add the Pavlok commands to anything, such as a new sub or even a donation. The only thing I would advise for this is to temporarily disable any Pavlok related buttons on the MixPlay board for at least 30 seconds – this way a queue of actions isn’t being formed.

Done? Done!

I hope you and your viewers have a lot of fun with this! Go play a scary game, or even Jenga, and let me know how it works out for you. =D

Use ’em sparks,

What you’ll be able to do after reading this guide:

• Have viewers be able to change the color your Nanoleaf lights
• Have viewers be able to change the pattern or rhythm pattern of your Nanoleaf lights
• Have viewers be able to change the rhythm mode [take sound from 3.5mm or via rhythm module mic]
• Trigger your Nanoleaf Lights on alerts, like follows, hosts, etc.
• Be able to control the Nanoleaf lights with your Stream Deck

What you’ll need:

• Either Firebot or Mix It Up
• Access to your router
• Nanoleaf lights
• AutoHotkey
• These three scripts

Obtaining the Nanoleaf IP address

You’ll have to find the IP address of your own Nanoleaf lights.
The easiest way to do this is by looking at the list of your connected devices via your router.

There are many different routers out there, with different interfaces – but I can only guide you using the one I have.
Chances are you can connect to it via 192.168.0.1 / 192.168.1.1 – credentials usually listed physically on device.

On my hitron modem/router, I go to Connected Devices to find the list of devices connected to it.

From there, I search for the Nanoleaf – not by name, but by MAC address.
To do this, on the connected devices page, I do a search for 00:55:DA and find the IP address.

Judging by this, my Nanoleaf lights are 192.168.0.51.
If you have any confusion towards finding your Nanoleaf IP address – send me your router model number!

Nanoleaf authorization & setup

Now it’s time for us to make a new Nanoleaf user.
The first thing we have to do is modify the user.ahk script – so open it up in a text editor.

In the script you should see 192.168.0.51 – place your IP address there instead.
After inputting your IP address, save and close the script.

Hold the power button on the nanoleaf until it starts blinking.
Open user.ahk – you should see a dialog pop up and a new text document called Key.txt in the same folder.

Hit OK on the dialog, open Key.txt and copy the auth token.
If you get a 403 error, then you might not have been fast enough – it only gives you 30 seconds.

Open nanoleaf.ahk in a text editor and modify both the IP address & auth token.

Save the script and close it.
Run the script using AutoHotkey and you should see a white/green H on your taskbar.

Now it’s time to test it! Hold CTRL and press 4 – this should change your lights to blue.
If it didn’t work, be sure the script is running and has the correct information [IP address & auth token].

Close the script by right clicking on the H and going to Exit.

Understanding the script

Open nanoleaf.ahk in your text editor and scroll down until you see ^1:: .
Let’s go over a few lines so that you can modify it to your liking.

^1:: When CTRL and 1 are pressed together, it’ll run whatever is under it.
WinHTTP.Open(“PUT”, “http://” . nanoIP . “:16021/api/v1/” . nanoCode . “/state/brightness”)
bodytext = {“brightness” : {“value”:18, “duration”:0}} Changes brightness to 18 quickly. Max 100. 
WinHTTP.Send(bodytext)

WinHTTP.Open(“PUT”, “http://” . nanoIP . “:16021/api/v1/” . nanoCode . “/state”)
bodytext = {“hue” : {“value”:360}} Changes hue to 360, which is red. Max 360.
WinHTTP.Send(bodytext)

WinHTTP.Open(“PUT”, “http://” . nanoIP . “:16021/api/v1/” . nanoCode . “/state”)
bodytext = {“sat” : {“value”: 100}} Changes saturation to 100, which is vibrant color. Max 100.
WinHTTP.Send(bodytext)
return Halts script for meow.

Chances are you’ll leave hue & saturation alone and adjust the brightness according to how it looks on stream.

The script has the following triggers for colors:
[If you would like to change the key trigger, check out the AutoHotkey reference here.]

CTRL + 1 = RED
CTRL + 2 = YELLOW
CTRL + 3 = GREEN
CTRL + 4 = BLUE
CTRL + 5 = PURPLE
CTRL + 6 = PINK

Besides colors, there are also patterns, rhythm patterns & rhythm modes.
Because you can load & remove different patterns, some of the ones on this script might not work for you.

CTRL + p = Color Burst with aux cable as rhythm source
CTRL + o = Northern Lights
CTRL + q = Romantic
CTRL + w = Checkerboard
CTRL + u = Radiate
CTRL + t = Inner Peace
CTRL + n = Nemo
CTRL + i = Dancing Duo with aux cable as rhythm source

To get a list of available patterns, open patterns.ahk and it’ll spit out info into Patterns.txt.
Then all you have to do is copy and paste whatever pattern you want in the bodytext.

Now we’ll take a look at how Dancing Duo is triggered.

^i:: When CTRL and i are pressed together, it’ll run whatever is under it.
WinHTTP.Open(“PUT”, “http://” . nanoIP . “:16021/api/v1/” . nanoCode . “/effects”)
bodytext = {“select” : “Dancing Duo”} Changes to Dancing Duo pattern.
WinHTTP.Send(bodytext)

WinHTTP.Open(“PUT”, “http://” . nanoIP . “:16021/api/v1/” . nanoCode . “/state/brightness”)
bodytext = {“brightness” : {“value”:20, “duration”:0}} Changes brightness to 20 quickly. Max 100. 
WinHTTP.Send(bodytext)

WinHTTP.Open(“PUT”, “http://” . nanoIP . “:16021/api/v1/” . nanoCode . “/rhythm/rhythmMode”)
bodytext = {“rhythmMode”:1} Changes source to aux cable. 0 would change it to microphone.
WinHTTP.Send(bodytext)
return Halts script for now.

For additional information on how to work with Mix It Up, check out their Wiki.

There are additional tips and tricks below that should help you get the most out of your board.
And as always, if you need more help or have questions – just let me know.

Stream Deck set up

When you allow viewers to modify goodness like the Nanoleaf lights, it’s good to have some type of override.
This is where the Stream Deck comes in – just drag a hotkey onto one of the boxes and set it accordingly.

Keep in mind that nanoleaf.ahk needs to be running in order for this to work.

Tips and tricks

Script startup
The nanoleaf.ahk script can load on Windows startup , this way you don’t have to open it up each time.

Hold the Windows Key & hit R, then type in shell:startup, hit enter and the Startup folder should open.
Create a shortcut of the script [or move the actual script] over to the Startup folder and… that’s it!

Lights may look strange on stream
You can either adjust the exposure of your camera or the brightness of the Nanoleaf lights.
Lychi uses 17-20 for brightness on her lights but your settings may differ, so mess around with it!

MixPlay
Be sure to create buttons for all three grid types and test your buttons on a phone, Xbox, tablet and PC if possible.
Set up the Nanoleaf controls in one cooldown group, otherwise someone’s color change might only show briefly.

You can also have it so that subs [or another role] have access to certain colors that regulars don’t have access to.
Definitely check out Firebot & Mix It Up’s guides or videos on how to achieve this.

Closing

So there you have it! Viewers can now control your sexy Nanoleaf lights! Yayyyy!
If this has helped in any way be sure to tell me on ‘da Twitters or below.
