Greetings my fellow survivors
I have a Boom in my room and it's connected to a big powerful Bass speaker from an old PC sound system which is hidden under the bed. It sounds really fantastic when in use, but I realize (especially with my LMS being out of commission until recently) that it's just sitting there, powered on 24/7 wasting electricity and producing a slight hum. Is there a way I could conditionally power this device on with a smart relay (those things are everywhere, ESP32 based Chinese made Wi-Fi switches - generally referred to as a Sonoff) by either having the relay 1) Subscribe to MQTT messages that the LMS could hypothetically emit whenever the Boom is in use (no idea how to do that though) 2) Use the sensor probe that some of the ESP based devices put out to somehow detect when the bass line is in use and switch the relay on The first option would be more familiar to me because I'm a software person but I understand how it could be less reliable. The second option sounds more reliable but I'm not sure electrically how I'd be able to sample a low voltage audio signal without degradation. What do y'all think? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kezz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65905 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111840 _______________________________________________ Boom mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/boom
