P: SDK to allow devices (e.g. Loupedeck, Monogram, Contour Shuttle, Tourbox)

For anyone landing here now: Lightroom (the cloud app) has an external controller API. Turn it on in Preferences > Interface > Enable external controllers and restart Lightroom. Controllers then talk to Lightroom directly, with no keyboard shortcuts to map, and it works whatever language Lightroom is in. People have reported the Logitech MX Creative Console working with it.

Disclosure: another one is made by my team: my colleague Samy built Develop for Lightroom CC for Stream Deck + on Mac. The dials move the Develop sliders and the touch strip shows the same value as Lightroom's slider. The keys show real state for crop, Upright, auto white balance and AI masks (subject, sky, background), plus copy/paste settings and export. There's also a culling profile where a dial shows the photo with its stars and flag. It's Mac only, Stream Deck + only, and it does not work with Lightroom Classic.

Happy to answer questions about the setup or the API here.

Just bought a LoupeDeck + as I edit thousands of photos regulary due to a fast paced sports photography workflow. 

Upvote this and help Adobe finally add plug-ins for Lightroom instead of making use the slow and antiquated Lightroom Classic!

Same here, developed a new software to do less than the old one, I don't get it, now I need to modify my subscription to the Lightroom Classic. But guess what, you can't, I need to unsubscribe before, but it's impossible you got the message "error"

I came here to add my voice to Adobe adding the SDK to Lightroom (not classic) so we can use hardware interfaces with this great piece of software. I'm getting tired of switching between Classic and... what should I call it, New Lightroom?

Thanks!

Loupedeck told me that Lightroom does not have SDK. I understand SDK is on Lightroom Classic, which is frustrating that the cloud-based one does not; I wonder if it will be added and why it hasn't been done already.

Hey adobe folk, I've just purchased a Monogram Creative Console to help my workflow in Lightroom CC become more efficient. That was before it arrived and I found out that it isn't compatible with CC, only with Lightroom Classic because of your lack of SDK support.  Is there any hope of this down the line or do I need to abandon Lightroom CC for classic or an alternate program that is supported like Capture One...?

This was the note on the Monogram CC website :

An integration with Lightroom (CC 2018 & later) requires Adobe to add SDK support, similar to what exists with Lightroom Classic & 6. If you want to see this integration, please let Adobe know here.

Are we having this update?

2020 is almost over and still no SDK and still no Loupedeck support. I hate to but will have to switch back to Lightroom Classic so I can use the tool I love to work in a program that is antiquated.
