Hi all i spoke with the boys who look after the fire alarm and im wondering how easy would it be to have it so if an open closed relay is closed in an emergancy the signage to evacuate pops up on the screens
thanks

It would require an integration with the fire alarm system and Xibo CMS API, so then when specific action happens in fire alarm system it would trigger specific action via CMS API.
In this case it could be two steps, create a notification and changeLayout API call to a layout containing the notification.
or just changeLayout to already existing layout that already has the necessary information on it.
in short, your system would trigger a pre defined api call that would force change the layout on all applicable displays as needed.
You’d want to have the suitable layout in the CMS, display group with the relevant displays assigned to it and pre defined api call to execute the changeLayout action.
As for the integration with current system, it really depends on how does it work and what response does it give that could trigger the api call (or trigger a script with the api call, depending on how you want to handle that).
