This livestream we tried to control my Elgato Keylights from a Nerves device. We really tried gang, come on. A good attempt.

We ran into an issue with the expectations we had on what mDNS would give us. Those issues are still under investigation but they seem to be a change or regression in underlying parts of Nerves or Erlang. I’ve since gotten it to work by going back a few versions.

Those frustrations aside we also verified that we can control the lights and detect the keypresses for the keypad we are using. The Keybow 12-key thing with RGB lighting.
