Hello everyone,
Is it possible if Button1 is pressed at B station No.1 that Button1 also lights up at B station No.2?

The background:
We have two halls with 2 FOH's. There are several B stations at each FOH to switch different areas. If I now switch circuit 1 in hall 1, for example, the B station in hall 2, which can also control the same circuit, should give me feedback that this circuit is currently active.

Regards,
Florian

sure no problem,
You will just have to ask the first B-station to send network messages to the second B-station in Buttons actions.

The best would be to have a 'master' b-station and a 'slave' B-station.

master B-station: when you press the button, do the control, display on itself the feedback and send message to the slave B-station to display feedback on slave one
Slave B-station: when you press the button, send a message to master asking to trigger same button action on the master one. (triggering the button action on the master will automatically update feedback on master and on slave)

I hope this will help you,

How can I tell one B station that it is now the 'master' and the other 'slave'?

All of our B-station communication currently runs via UDP to a CueCore2.
Button 1 triggers a string via UDP which is evaluated in CueCore2 under ShowControl and sent to individual relays via DMX.
So there is no direct DMX output on any of the entire (15) B stations.

OK so in this case it is even easier.
In the cuecore, create a playback action list, and create an action that will be triggered by the status of the playback controlled by the B-station (active/not active),
And make this action broadcasting a UDp message with  the playback status information.

On the other side make each B-station react to the broadcast message sent by the Cuecore to display the feedback.

This way when ever one B-station triggers a playback in the Cuecore all the other B-stations will receive the feedback at the same time.
