I can share my setup which may be wildly off-base: I have a USB Z-Wave stick with automation software called OpenHAB. The software has a squeezebox plugin to talk to LMS to get player status and send player commands. I have a Z-Wave switch between my amps (no IP) and their power strip. I have a rule set up such that if any player turns on and the amps are off, turn the amps on. I have another rule set up such that if any player turns off and all the other players are off and the amps are on, turn the amps off.
The USB stick is $40, the power switch is $30, and the software is free. I use Z-Wave for much other automation, but it was worth the $30 switch to save $6/mo in standby power that my amps were using. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dangerusty's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=54208 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104123 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
