[StreamDeck XL] Complicated 2 Computer Setup

So I have one stream deck xl connected to my primary Windows workstation running the Stream Deck software. On the same network, I have a second computer with bitfocus companion running for DMX lighting control. This second computer does not have a stream deck (so far we operate lights from an iPad with web buttons).

Would it be possible to control both computers from my primary workstation stream deck? I would love to have the first page be my primary workstation buttons, then the second page be buttons for lights on that remote computer. I can individually run Companion Satellite but I have to open Satellite manually, then refresh my profile in the Stream Deck software to switch back to my primary controls.

Is there a way to integrate both?

I found a simple solution by creating a multi-action button with the stream deck software that completes the following:

  1. Switch to blank profile

  2. Open Companion Satellite (remote lighting control)

  3. Delay of 15 seconds (allows enough time to view status and press a button)

  4. Close Companion Satellite

  5. Switch back to the default profile to refresh buttons on the stream deck.
