Call command preset from script

[Aaron Maue]

Is there a way to call a command preset from a script?  There are scripts in the repository for calling the old "events," but nothing for the new command presets.  Is it possible with the command preset implementation?  If so, what is the syntax to make the call?

yes, call the http api with a URL something like http://192.168.33.237/api/command/Trigger%20Command%20Preset%20Slot/22

Edit the ip address and slot number at the end and use the program of your choice to call the url in your script.

You can also use the 'fpp' command line helper to trigger the command preset slot number or name.

fpp -t 22
fpp -t "PLAYLIST_STARTED"
fpp -t "Your Preset Name"

Another way is to trigger command presets using the "Trigger Command Preset" FPP Command, which you can run via multiple ways including via the REST API.
