+Now, you are ready to call your own Premiere CEP functions, defined in the `host` variable of the `index.tsx`-file remotely. 
+There are two ways to trigger PremiereRemote functionality from outside: Using HTTP requests or using WebSocket calls.

+### WebSocket
+
+Since the release of `v2.1.0`, a WebSocket server was added to PremiereRemote.
+This enables you to trigger CEP code with minimal delay, e.g., when integrating PremiereRemote with Controller Hardware like the Elgato Stream Deck +.
+Any function that can be called via HTTP (see above) can also be called via WebSocket using port `8082` by default.
+See this simple example:
+
+```javascript
+import WebSocket from 'ws';
+const websocketAddress = 'ws://localhost:8082';
+const ws = new WebSocket(websocketAddress);
+ws.send(`yourNewFunction,Hello,World`);
+```
+
+This code snippet would connect to the WebSocket server and call a CEP function named `yourNewFunction` with the parameters `Hello` and `World`. Any number of parameters (including zero) are allowed.
