Does anyone know if there are any future plans to support console link with any other consoles in the future? If LW is communicating with EOS using OSC is there an OSC communication protocol that is listed somewhere so that users could work out even partial control on another console?

The OSC protocol just defines how devices connect and is intended only for sending keystrokes, the real work is in the content of the messages sent back and forth between Lightwright and the console. ETC put a lot of work into developing their implementation that lets Lightwright (and other apps) share the console data.
I am hoping that other console manufacturers will see the advantages of connecting Lightwright with their console and will do similar work to enable Lightwright to communicate with them, but it's up to them to make that decision.

I can certainly see the benefits! I do a lot of work on Grand MA 2 consoles, and I'm pretty sure that I could get at least partial functionality of the console link up and running with the use of the remote inputs, macros and plugins that are available on the console. The problem is that I would need to know what Lightwright is sending to the console and what its expecting to receive back...

Oh, I think I see what is going on... ETC have a whole show control "protocol" setup via OSC. So I'd have to assume that you are communicating via their specific EOS commands. I might have a play around and see what I can do with this.

Yes, their protocol lets me access (and set) things like cue labels, which aren't possible by just pressing buttons. OSC is just the transport mechanism. I'm happy to adapt to another manufacturer's console, but the mfg will have to do quite a bit of work on their part, too.
