Trigger QLC+ via Qlab

Hi everyone! Hope I'm not posting something that was already discussed and solved in another thread. I've been reading lots and I haven't been able to see any thread that solves my problem.

So here is what I'd like to do. I'm working on a show where the artist will trigger playback music, video and lights with one button using Qlab (and maybe OSC Touch if I'm able to figure out how) and QLC+. The music and video will be played in Qlab and the lights that will be synced to the music are programmed in QLC+. I have made a show in QLC+ and a button that starts the show in the Virtual Console. I have read a few threads where people have done similar things so I'm sure this will work. I think I have set up everything properly, but I'm really not sure as this is the first time I'm trying to trigger other programs with Qlab.

In Qlab I have done following steps:
In network i have patched my wifi and gave it a name (QLC+). I wrote the same IP-adress in the destination and wrote 7700. In Cue Templates and network settings i clicked on QLC+. Here I have to write the command that will trigger my button in the virtual console in QLC+. I guess this is where I'm stuck.

In QLC+ I have done following steps:
In Input/Outputs I have klicked Input and Feedback at OSC 2: "my IP Adress". And of course my DMX USB Output.
The universes Configuration says: Inputs "My IP adress", Input port: 7700, Output Adress: "Router adress", Output Port 9000. Outputs: "My IP adress", Output adress: "Router adress", Output Port: 9000.

Have I missed anything? Does anyone know the exact command that I have to write in Qlab? Something like /qlcplus/triggerbutton or /qlcplus/1/push1 I have tried but there happens absolutely nothing besides that the first time i send this I got asked if QLC shall receive incoming network settings which I accepted.
But there happens absolutely nothing in QLC+.

Any help will be so much appreciated!

And thanks for this amazing program! :)
