MA Lighting grandMA2 control — frequently asked questions
Does Fantago support MA Lighting grandMA2?

What protocol does the MA Lighting grandMA2 handler use?
TCP, default port 30000. Fantago connects straight to the device over your production network, so no gateway, middleware or vendor software is needed in between.
Can I control MA Lighting grandMA2 from a Stream Deck?

Can I modify the MA Lighting grandMA2 handler?
Yes. The handler is a plain JavaScript file (malighting_grandma2.js) that you can download from this page, edit and drop back into Fantago. You can also write your own handler from scratch — see the Developer Guide.
