OSC reactive Magic Sheets

Question

Hello everyone. 
 I'm currently doing a deep ish dive in the whole Show Control and OSC functionality in EOS but im having some issues with syntax/workflow which i wasn't able to solve as of yet. 
 My current situation is: EOS Ti >Switch > Recording PC > OSC for OBS > OBS. Im trying to build an interactive magic sheet for starting/stopping recordings with some feedback from the recording pc also being displayed in EOS. 
 The Send functionality is working so far using buttons on a Magic Sheet with Command = "/startRecording" my problem here is that i would like to also have this OSC command in a Macro (which afaik can be accomplished with Send_String but right now i cant figure out the exact syntax or the necessary OSC Address/prefix) 
 Secondly i would like a feedback element on the sheet which reacts to a OSC input from the Recording PC, which sends a OSC confirmation command (fwict "/recording" with no extra formatting). Since we often have no direct access to the Recording PC it would be very nice to have some sort of visible feedback of the recording status without digging through diagnostics. 
 I'm currently using this webinar and the EOS eManual for reference. If you have some more sources/tutorials which could get me in the right direction please let me know.

Hi benjaminauer. 
 After some trial and error i was able to get the whole system working like i expect it to. I've had to modify your code slightly (there was a bracket missing :D) 
 Heres my setup for everyone to reference 
 Modified Code (Line 3003 onwards, error logging removed for readability) 
 obs.on("RecordStateChanged", data => {
 if (data.outputActive == true){
 
 client.send(`/eos/sc/recordingStarted`, 1,)
 } else {
 
 client.send(`/eos/sc/recordingStopped`, 1,)
 }
 
 })
 

 
 Show Control (Here i assume your OSC Setup is working as intended. OSC TX/RX on. UDP String TX/RX dissabled) 
 
 Macros (Bare with me and my German labels) 
 
 Magic Sheet: 3 Macro Buttons. 1 for Starting. 1 for Stopping and 1 Status button (Macro 3000, making sure Field 1 is set the Macro Label) 
 Thanks for the help!

the macro should look like: 
 
 the ip address is defined in System->Show Control 
 
 the tx ip adress can have multiple adresses and also have a port: 
 192.168.1.21:8111;192.168.1.21 if no port is given, standard TX port is used 
 String RX needs to be enabled if you want to listen to non /eos commands i think, be sure to have a diffrent RX Port than in OSC RX Port, but that would require you to set up events to map it to a macro 
 to receive info and display it within a magicsheet, i would suggest you create a "Recording Fixture" or use a dummy channel maybe 999 
 instead of sending the "/recording" string, you send this string to eos: /eos/chan/999/full 
 put the channel in your magic sheet, background color to the intensity 
 
 to turn of the indicator /eos/chan/999/out 
 this will might annoy you because when working on the show, the chan 999 will always be saved tot he show. to avoid that you could set up partitions. 
 another way is the have the recording pc call a makro: /eos/macro/1/fire to start /eos/macro/1/fire to stop 
 
 and the magicsheet should be:
