Stream Deck — control RGBJunkie from Elgato keys and dials

Edit

Install the RGBJunkie-Deck plugin, assign effects and scenes, and use dials for brightness on Stream Deck +.

RGBJunkie-Deck plugin

RGBJunkie ships a companion Stream Deck plugin you install separately from the desktop app.

  1. Download RGBJunkie-Deck from the GitHub releases page (zip includes the compiled plugin and install-deck-plugin.bat).
  2. Extract the zip and double-click install-deck-plugin.bat.
  3. Open Stream Deck and look for RGBJunkie in the action list.

Requires Stream Deck 6.4+ and a current RGBJunkie build with rgbjunkie:// links registered.

What you can assign

ActionWhat it does

Effect Browser, Hardware, Installed, Logs, Plugins folder, RestartOpen app views or folders

Most actions use silent mode so RGBJunkie stays in the tray.

Canvas tab targeting

For Effect and Previous/Next Effect, the property inspector can target:

  • Selected canvas — whichever canvas tab is active in RGBJunkie
  • A specific canvas tab — control a background tab without switching to it in the app

Stream Deck uses the same rgbjunkie:// URLs documented in App links and on Documentation → App deep links. You can test links from a browser or batch file when debugging.
