[OBSOLETE] Russound Multi-Zone Controller Integration

DctrBanner · January 1, 2018, 6:30pm

Nevermind, I figured it out!

Note to anyone else having this issue, be sure to not use wget to download the file from github, it changes the file. I had to basically download the file and paste the contents through a terminal session.

I just finished setting up a CAM6.6 I picked up recently and everything went perfectly! (…as soon as I remembered to open the port on the windows firewall on the box I ran the ST Node Proxy on). Thanks for this awesome app!

Is it possible to add control of the built-in FM tuner on the CAM6.6? I can set the tuner with the keypads, but not from SmartThings.

Pantheon · January 2, 2018, 10:46pm

I am working on radio control with Alexa. Not there yet.

Ragai_Meena · January 3, 2018, 3:37am

how did you set the port? did you have to forward the ort on your router?

Pantheon · January 3, 2018, 3:51am

Yes, port forward on your router.

Ragai_Meena · January 3, 2018, 3:57am

to the device where the node server is installed correct?

Torgysk · January 3, 2018, 1:01pm

How are you looking at implementing functionality for the radio? Through favourites or to be able to tune in a station? Insterested in how you do this!

Thanks

Pantheon · January 3, 2018, 5:31pm

Maybe use favorites. But probably will just hard-code in webcore so that I can say “Alexa, turn on the radio to WIMZ” and the webcore piston will tune to a frequency of 103.5.

Torgysk · January 3, 2018, 6:07pm

I’m hoping you select favourites as it could work for satellite radio as well. I only have about 10 radio and satellite stations I listen to.

I am interested in what you are doing so would appreciate getting updates on your progress!

Thanks

DctrBanner · January 4, 2018, 9:45pm

Has anyone already worked out the code to use voice control to set the source? I’m thinking of doing this but I don’t want to do double work if someone’s already done it.

I really need help guys

Unfortunately that doesn’t help; I use Google Homes, no amazon devices.

DctrBanner · January 5, 2018, 7:29pm

How are you connecting to the controller? USB to serial? Do you have the correct drivers already installed?

Ragai_Meena · January 5, 2018, 7:31pm

yes and yes
it seems that it is getting 404 code when it tries to download the serialport from github???

Ragai_Meena · January 5, 2018, 9:34pm

ok got it to install but when i push on the zone controller buttons nothing happens in ST and vice a versa. When I push on buttons on ST app I see changes on the server through CMD line please help

do u think u can help me? I will truly appreciate it

Ragai_Meena · January 5, 2018, 11:44pm

you seem to have the monprice device I hope you will be willing to help me
I installed the server and confirmed that it is running through chrome browser
I installed the ST app and device handler
I discovered the zones in ST app
I can push buttons on the ST app and see changes in th CMD line but I cannot control the zone controllers and the zone controllers cannot control the ST app please help I really appreciate it

BartschLabs · January 6, 2018, 12:06am

Hello @Ragai_Meena, I suggest that you troubleshoot the serial communication between the device that you are running the nodeproxy on and the Monoprice amp. What I did as one of the first steps after installing the device driver is to make sure that I could send simple serial commands and get back a response from the amp. I believe this video shows how to do a little troubleshooting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC2X8Qiyxqs .
I run mine on Windows, so I think I used Putty to test serial communications.
