[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.

I'm going through the tutorials and unless I've missed something, like an introduction (which I'll look for again), I had a couple of questions...


  *   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
