The Lighting Controller

How is it possible to establish a DMX in for Quick DMX?
Which devices or software can be used therefore?
We would like to use it for controlling buttons / timelines in live.

Better idea: go the "MIDI" route: there are many controllers available

This would be another option but therefore I would need something like a UDP to MIDI because the software should be triggered through another controller.

Thank you for the link but it seems a bit difficult for my task. The easiest way would really be a classical dmx in. So back to my initial question:
Which devices or software can be used therefore? It should be possible anyhow otherwise it would not be implemented in the software, right?

It it possible with these old dmx interfaces: Box, Ssa, and Rack (the old model).

The recent dmx interfaces do not have it, because the cost is substantial and almost nobody needs it.
