You can send state updates to Touch Portal. More information about states and how to set them up in the description file can be found in the states section. You can only change the states from your own plug-in. Changing states of Touch Portal itself may result in undesired behaviour.
Sending a piece of data (a message) to Touch Portal should always end with a newline character. This will indicate Touch Portal that it is the whole message.
In this case, Touch Portal will change the state with id "musicState" to "Playing Music". You can specify states and events (which will be triggered by state) to work with states. Read more on this in the section on the left menu.
