Wireless tally lights that just work with the ATEM Mini, vMix and OBS.
A base and four lights. Plug the base into your network, type in your switcher's address on its setup page, done. No app. No flashing. No $559 GPI box. Lights run from USB-C so nothing needs charging before Sunday.
$199 for the base + 4 lights. Extra lights $39.
Reserve one. Pay nothing now.Reserving sends us an email. No deposit, no card, no obligation. We'll tell you a ship date before we ever ask for a dollar. If we don't build it, you've lost nothing.
What you get
| Base | Ethernet (Wi-Fi fallback), USB-C powered. Talks to ATEM over the network (so the ATEM Mini works, no tally port needed), to vMix over its TCP tally API, and to OBS over obs-websocket. Two screw terminals for a plain cue switch, for theatres with no switcher at all. |
|---|---|
| 4 lights | Bright red = program, green = preview, off = idle. Brightness button. USB-C powered, with an optional internal battery for rigs with no power. 1/4"-20 thread, cold-shoe adapter and a velcro strip in the box. |
| Setup | Lights arrive paired to their base. Open the base's setup page on any phone, type the switcher's IP, assign light 1-4 to camera 1-4. Settings stick, so the volunteer who runs it next week touches nothing. |
| Range | Across a sanctuary or a stage. Target 50 m / 150 ft indoors. We'll publish the measured number from the prototype. |
Why we're building it
We read six years of forum threads from church stream volunteers and stage managers asking for the same thing: a few wireless tally or cue lights for a couple hundred dollars that don't need an app, a programmer or a weekly charging ritual. The kits on sale cost $500 to $700, need a GPI box for the ATEM Mini, or make you flash an M5Stick yourself. We think that's fixable.
How it compares
| Kit | Base + 4 | ATEM Mini | vMix | OBS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wren Tally | $199 | yes, over the network | yes | yes |
| Hollyland Tally System | $649 | needs a tally port | yes | not listed |
| AVMATRIX TS3019 | $519 | + $559 GPI box | yes | not listed |
| DIY M5Stick build | $40-80 in parts | flash it yourself | flash it yourself | flash it yourself |

Honest unknowns
- Ship date: not set. We'll set one after the prototype works on a real ATEM Mini, vMix and OBS, and tell everyone who reserved.
- Battery life with the optional battery: our target is about 25 three-hour services per charge. We'll publish what we measure.
- If fewer than ten people reserve, we probably won't build it, and we'll say so.
