I’m new to AAO so sorry if this is answered somewhere. Is it possible to switch a streamdeck page from AAO? I have 3x streamdecks (XL, standard and plus) and would like to press a AAO configured button and switch the page on the plus. The idea is I have 8 buttons displaying data from AAO and pressing any of the buttons changes pages to change the function of the encoders, the buttons are just repeated on each page with the active button highlighted in a different colour.

Thanks

Hello,

sorry, but no, that is not possible just like that. The StreamDeck SDK doesn't allow it. Profiles | Stream Deck SDK
Quote:

"Plugins do not have access to user-defined profiles, and therefore cannot switch to them. Plugins can only switch to profiles distributed with the plugin."

Check out the PDF that comes with the AAO plugin, there is a chapter called "Switching to other profiles using scripts". Setting this up requires a special tool and some effort, and you can only switch to a different profile, not to a specific page inside a profile.

Hi thanks for the quick reply,

The plugin PDF on your website is Version 46.02 - 07.09.2025 and does not have the section mentioned. However the zip file com.lorbysi.aao.streamdeckplugin_72_01.zip has PDF Version 50.01 - 23.11.2025 inside which does have that section. I guess I could register each page as a profile and switch using that method but “SdProfileMappingTool.exe” does not run for me. :(

Thanks again

PS. From v6.5.0 this has been added

• Added support for switching to a specific profile page when calling switchToProfile.

That doesn't seem to have found its way into the SDK documentation yet.

Thanks for looking.

Details must be available as someone over on the Hangar Control discord has just released a small plugin (Deck Director 0.8.0). The plugin allows you to change pages of a profile that has adopted via a network message. It can call pages by name, page number, next, previous, first or last.

Ah the Readme states this “Adoption relies on undocumented Stream Deck behaviour (tested on Stream Deck 7.5.1).”

network message

You can send network messages from AAO scripts. AAO RPN has a few commands for that, or you could resort to Javascript or JScript.

Seems like it has been documented just now? The additional page parameter is there now in the SDK documentation. I will add that option to the next version of the AAO plugin.

That happens because Elgato have changed the name of the profiles folder. I will fix that in the next version of the plugin

The link to the spec that I posted above is precisely for this command. Yes, this exists, but it only allows you to switch to the profiles that are part of your own plugin. Hence the detour with the additional mapping app.

Will wait for the next version, how often do you release updates?

Version 73.02 is out, it has the page parameter now.

• The SdProfileMapping tool has been fixed. This must be used before you can switch on any profile or page!

• I made a small script package demonstrating the technique using AAO RPN scripts:

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5g7kh0dath6nnh2x8yf7b/SD_Ctrl_Scripts.zip?rlkey=fxpw9cp1bngd24fgp1v5b9zap&dl=0

• The script group is called "SD_Ctrl"

• Make sure to call the "init" script before doing anything else. Ideally configure it as a Global Automated Script, so you can't forget it. After that you can just use the "Toggle" scripts to browser through the profiles and their pages. Do that slowly, apparently the StreamDeck sometimes needs a while to catch up.

• If it doesn't work out of the box, check out the "switch" script of the group. It uses the internal Variable (L:SD_ID_2, String) to determine the ID of your StreamDeck device (if you have several, then there is more than one of these LVars). Change the variable name to the one correct for you. You may have to switch to a few different AAO profiles manually a couple of times before the LVar is visible.

• These scripts use a special feature of the SdProfileMapping tool - it creates a simple CSV file with all mapped profiles and the number of pages they have in "Documents\LorbyAxisAndOhs Files". The "init" script reads that file, and with that information it can toggle through all the mapped profiles and their pages.

Hi,

Thanks for getting the update out so quickly. I had looked on your website earlier and noticed the update so gave it a go. All worked well but underscores in the SD profile name seemed to not work so I renamed the profile and it started working. It does everything I hoped for and I now have a buttons which display various radio/nav frequencies and pressing the button takes me to that radios page.

I’ll check out you instructions above to see if I’m missing anything

Thanks again

Which part didn't work? Couldn't map it or couldn't call it when it was mapped?

I named the profile UH_1H_AAO, it mapped OK but would not change pages. I renamed it to UH1HAAO, remapped it and then page changes worked.

That must be a limitation in the Elgato StreamDeck software. The command line is sent as-is, the underscores are definitely in there.
