What is companion-module-ninoleto-lrbridge?

This project is a connector module for Bitfocus Companion, a piece of software that lets people control apps and hardware using physical button decks like Stream Deck, Loupedeck, or Razer Stream Controller. This particular module connects Companion to LRBridge, a separate small bridge tool that exposes Adobe Lightroom Classic controls over HTTP so other software can talk to it. With this module installed, someone editing photos can press a physical button to adjust Lightroom sliders such as exposure, contrast, temperature, tint, clarity, or dehaze, or to run other Lightroom actions, all without touching a mouse or keyboard. The module also shows live feedback: it can read back a slider's current value and display it on the button itself, so the person always knows the current setting. One of its more advanced features is watching for context changes. It regularly checks LRBridge for updates like the user switching to a different photo or moving between the Library and Develop views in Lightroom, and when that happens it refreshes all the on screen slider values at once, rather than constantly polling in the background, which the README notes is kept off by default to avoid unnecessary load. Setting it up requires already having LRBridge itself running and configured, plus Companion installed, since this module is only the piece that lets the two talk to each other. The README gives connection settings for when Companion and Lightroom run on separate computers on the same network, and clear guidance not to use generic HTTP actions if live feedback is wanted, since only this module's own actions can trigger it. This is a niche accessory for photographers or video editors who already use physical control panels in their workflow and want tactile control over Lightroom edits.
