First I (we?) put together a command-line script (in Python) to interact with the amp. And then I (we?) created a phone-focused web interface that's way faster than the official app. It works great.
Anyway, I put the project up on Github, and you can get it here. That page also has a screenshot of the web app.
Note that this almost certainly won't work with non-dual-mono setups and hasn't been tested on anything other than my Expert 440 Pro running the latest firmware. If you do manage to get this working with any other Expert setup, please let me know so that I can note as much in the docs.
This is incredible work, Andrew. Thank you so much for publishing it!
I only recently bought an Expert Pro 1000 system as I look to move on from my current Gold Phantom setup. As the Expert iPhone app is… well, we all know how ropey it is, I'd been looking at the Devimote project with a view to creating a system I could run on a Raspberry Pi with a small screen in order to act essentially as a remote status panel for the Expert system that could live, battery powered, in a nice little box on a side table next to my listening position, so that I can see the current input, volume level etc without having to either get up and look at the amp or have to use the dreaded Expert app on my phone. Having to program against a UDP interface wasn't a prospect I particularly relished, and now I see that you've created a REST interface abstraction over the top of it. Praise be! I look forward to digging in to the documentation to learn more about how it works.
