Enable serial over IP - Georgethesixth - 26-Jul-2014 I would like to control the Devialet from a PC. Devialet has an RS232 port to allow this, but this requires additional cabling and a bit of hardware. Please develop a little command line tool that allows to send a serial command (eg. Wake up, sleep) over IP. The basic code exists both on the server and client side : RS232 support exists in the Devialet, and the commands are implemented in the apps. My goal is to create a predictable A/V environment for my wife and kid. For me A/V is hobby, they want to look TV or listen to music. Some examples in random order : - Integration with OpenRemote : a free home control software - Scheduled wake up events when I plan listening sessions so the Devialet can warm up. - Wake up the Devialet and select the Ethernet input when the music server is started. Select line in 1 when the music server is powered off. The boot time of the server is about 35 sec from a power off state so we shut the machine down when it is not in use. - Give a power off signal when we go to sleep or leave the house. The default sleep mode kicks in to quick for my taste so I increased the time-out period. With the money I save, I'll buy a mono config in about 4000 years For those who are afraid of more 'pollution' in the data stream : one could use the wifi IP address to control the box, and use the Ethernet port for the music stream. But believe me : the few control packets will make no difference compared to the network noise that the Devialet generates. |
