One push button sends a sequence of values?

Script widgets and custom modules are two different things, you can’t use timing functions (ie setTimeout) in widget’s formulas (JS{{}} / #{}) so you’ll need to write a custom module that will look like this:

module.exports = {
    oscOutFilter: function(data) {

        var {address, args, host, port} = data

        // Assuming the push button's address is /control_sequence_1
        // and value is 1 (with no preArgs)
        if (address == '/control_sequence_1' && args[0].value == 1) {
            setTimeout(()=>{
                send('192.168.254.20', 8000, '/push_01', 16, 114, 127)
                setTimeout(()=>{
                    send('192.168.254.20', 8000, '/push_01', 16, 114, 0)
                    setTimeout(()=>{
                        send('192.168.254.20', 8000, '/push_01', 16, 114, 3)
                        setTimeout(()=>{
                            send('192.168.254.20', 8000, '/push_01', 16, 114, 7)
                        }, 100)
                    }, 100)
                }, 100)
            }, 100)

            return // ignore original message
        }

        return {address, args, host, port}

    }
}

Notes:

  • setTimeout calls must be nested because it’s not a blocking function (https://nodejs.org/en/docs/guides/blocking-vs-non-blocking/)
  • to send midi messages you’d write something like
    send('midi', 'OpenStageControl', '/control', 16, 114, 3)
    or (if the push button’s target is “midi:OpenStageControl”):
    send(host, port, '/control', 16, 114, 3)
  • you are using invalid quote characters (aka “smart quotes”) , avoid using these as they will prevent your code from working
