Hi folks,
From: "max.spicer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
A friend is building me a power supply for a new amp that has no ir
capability. I'd like to be able to turn on the amp via the squeezebox,
so this is going to be a part of the ps design. Given that it's a
custom device, we can be fairly flexible so I'm wondering what my
options are at the squeezebox end. As far as I know, we have the
following options atm (in descending order of preference):
1) The yet to be finished geekport
2) Hack the current ir output to trigger the ps
....
For what it's worth, I would just *LOVE* to have some sort of a trigger
output from the geekport.
Sort of like:
If Squeezebox is ON, give me a closed dry contact, or a 9v output, or
whatever, from the geekport
If Squeezebox is OFF, give me an opened dry contact, or drop 9v output, or
whatever
I've heard that this sort of thing was being looked at, but I'm not aware of
it being done or not.
Thanks in advance,
-- Jeff
P.S. I have been contemplating using the upcoming async notification of the
CLI for this: If the CLI says the player turned on, use my automation system
to engage a dry contact. But this is more involved, and requires dragging
wire from the automation system to the Squeezebox for the dry contact. Much
easier to get this from the geekport ...
