Ross Carbonite Ultra, Companion and Color Source 40

Question

I'm new to OSC Commands but I just found out that the ColorSource 40 can take OSC Commands and that Companion can Send OSC Commands to it.

I'm wondering if there's a way for me to set it up to send a RossTalk Command to Companion to have it send an OSC Command to the ColorSource 40 we have.

Or even if there is a way for our carbonite to send an OSC Command directly to our CS40.

The main thing we want to do us duck lighting when we bring a Playback Input live. For example, we have Input 3 set as our Playback. When it goes to the program bus of our ME P/P I want our Playback 10 to run. When we send it back to Preview from Program, we want the same Playback to run. Our Playback 10 is just bringing a series of lights up to full.

Let me know if this is possible.

The OSC commands supported by ColorSource consoles are listed in the manual, see on the console and here: 
 https://www.etcconnect.com/webdocs/Controls/ColorSourceAV_onlinehelp/en/Default.htm#CommandsOSC.html?TocPath=AV%2520Functions%257C_____4 
 For example: 
 /cs/playback/x/level sets the level of a playback to the value of the float argument (0.0-1.0) 
 You could use that to dip and raise the level of a playback on the console. 
 Note that you need the AV version of the console to use OSC over UDP, as it has an ethernet network connection. All versions support receiving OSC over USB-Serial from Arduino (and things that pretend to be an Arduino).
