Example

// in your client (output)
 // https://virtualmixproject.com/mixer/demo_socket_client

 var socket1 = new SocketController( renderer )
 socket1.debug = true

 // this should log a server welcome object with a uid
 // got command {command: "welcome", payload: "8170"}
 console.log(socket1.target)
 > 8170

 // should give you an string:"8170",
 // make sure your user sees this string, so he can connects his _remote_ to this _client_

 // optionally listen for the ready signal, which gives you the id too
 socket1.addEventListener("ready", function(d) console.log("client id:", d ));
 > client id: 8170

 // write the rest of your listeners
 socket1.addEventListener( 1, function( _arr1 ) {
  // do something with _arr1
 })

 socket1.addEventListener( 2, function( _arr2 ) {
  // do something with _arr2
 })

 socket1.addEventListener( 3, function( _arr3 ) {
  // do something with _arr3
 })

 // in your controller (input, 'remote control')

 var socketcontroller = new SocketController()

 // make a way to enter the client-id: ( in this example: 8170 )
 var get_client_id = ()=> { return document.getElementById('socket_client_id').value }

 // send trigger 1 to socket get_client_id, may send to multiple ids: "8170,af44" always lowecase
 // _commands are mostly arrays of numbers or strings, but can be interpreted on the client.
 // [ "mixer1", "blend", 6 ]
 // [ "mixer1", "pod", gamepad1.x-axis ]
 // etc.

 socketcontroller.send( get_client_id(), 1, [1,1] );
 socketcontroller.send( get_client_id(), 1, [1,0] );
