Deployment Method: Individual Install, Upgrade, & Uninstall
To install Kontroll, run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
To upgrade Kontroll, run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
To uninstall Kontroll, run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
Deployment Method:
This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.
1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url
(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)
2. Setup Your Environment
1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment
Please see the organizational deployment guide
2. Get the package into your environment
Option 1: Cached Package (Unreliable, Requires Internet - Same As Community)-
Open Source or Commercial:
- Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
- You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download
-
Open Source
-
Download the package:
Download - Follow manual internalization instructions
-
-
Package Internalizer (C4B)
-
Run: (additional options)
choco download kontroll --internalize --source=https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
-
For package and dependencies run:
choco push --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
- Automate package internalization
-
Run: (additional options)
3. Copy Your Script
choco upgrade kontroll -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" [other options]
See options you can pass to upgrade.
See best practices for scripting.
Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.
If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:
choco upgrade kontroll -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}
Exit $exitCode

Kontroll 
Kontroll demonstrates how to control the Keymapp API, making it easy to control your ZSA keyboard from the command line and scripts. You can read more about it on our blog.
You can use it to switch layers and control the keyboard's RGB and status LEDs programmatically via Keymapp. Call it from a script to make your ZSA keyboard react to system events in useful ways (switching to layers when apps are activated, or changing lighting when you get an important email, etc).
Note: All features of Kontroll work on the Moonlander and the Voyager. Only some features work on the ErgoDox EZ, since that board has a different processor (Teensy). You're able to use Kontroll to switch layers (which is really the crucial bit) and to set the status LEDs, but you will not be able to control the RGB LEDs of the ErgoDox EZ.
Feel free to submit scripts that use Kontroll as pull requests via the examples directory.
Installation
If you have the rust toolchain and protoc installed, you can build Kontroll by cloning this repository and running the following command:
cargo build --release
Otherwise, you can download the latest release from the releases page and add it to your PATH.
Prerequisites
Make sure you have a recent version of Keymapp (v1.3.2+) running with a ZSA keyboard connected to your computer. In Keymapp's config page, make sure the API is enabled.
On Linux and macOS, keymapp creates a Unix Domain Socket located at $CONFIG_DIR/.keymapp/keymapp.sock.
On Windows, by default, the API listens on port 50051. If you have changed the port in keymapp's settings UI, you can specify the port to Kontroll by setting the KEYMAPP_PORT
environment variable.
Usage
Usage: kontroll <COMMAND>
Commands:
status Get the status of the currently connected keyboard
list List all available keyboards
connect Connect to a keyboard given the index returned by the list command
connect-any Connect to the first keyboard detected by keymapp
set-layer Set the layer of the currently connected keyboard
set-rgb Sets the RGB color of a LED
set-rgb-all Sets the RGB color of all LEDs
restore-rgb-leds Restores the RGB color of all LEDs to their default
set-status-led Set / Unset a status LED
restore-status-leds Restores the status of all status LEDs to their default
increase-brightness Increase the brightness of the keyboard's LEDs
decrease-brightness Decrease the brightness of the keyboard's LEDs
disconnect Disconnect from the currently connected keyboard
help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
Options:
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
Examples
Under examples is a showcase on how you could use the API.
Run the examples by having the rust toolchain installed and run the following command:
cargo run --release --example snake
Development
We developed Kontroll to showcase the Keymapp API and to provide a simple way to control your ZSA keyboard from the command line and scripts.
If you wish to build your own client, you need to implement the Keymapp API using gRPC. The protobuf file available here describes all the remote call procedures and messages available.
An example on how to implement each procedure call can be found in the api.rs file.
If you are using the Rust programming language, you may use the Kontroll crate.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
