I'm trying to write some code that reacts to when the user selects a new 'appointed_device' in Live, something like this:

var appointedDevice = new LiveAPI(function() {

log("appointedDevice> ", this.id, this.path, this.type);

appointedDevice.path = "live_set appointed_device";

If I run this code it will output the right info when I run bang, but the behaviour I'm looking for is more like attaching an event handler in web programming to eg 

 so that I get an event when the appointed device is changed by the user clicking on a different device. Does this make sense?

My goal is to react when the appointed_device is changed, get the id of the new device, interrogate it for current parameters, and update an app or device.

Hi, 
I'm  trying to write some code that reacts to when the user selects a new 'appointed_device' in Live, something like this:

Update: I figured out how to do this with a combination of live objects in a patcher and some js, patch attached:

Observe when the appointed_device changes? ( M4L )
