Stream Deck plus - getting sim data

All,

I got the Elgato Stream Deck Plus last week and have started setting it up.
I saw in a couple of Youtube videos having this setup, but there seems to be a requirement to use Lorby AAO for the most part (example : https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/DUzdZQFyRio

I also found another plugin : https://flightsim.to/file/3178/flight-tracker-streamdeck-plugin
My question is related to this plugin and how to collect data from the sim using.

Does anyone here have experience with using the Flight Tracker plugin to makes custom calls for data like current speed or altitude?
Also I would like to use the plugin to turn on lights on the aircraft - anyone have experience setting this up?

SpadNext event monitor

or via SimvarWatcher

or SpadNext - worth every penny.

Take a close look at https://flightsim.to/c/third-party/stream-deck/ . There are a lot of solutions for different planes.
