I would just use mediaportal straight up, separate the client and server and install the server onto a machine with the speed and storage and ram for it with a raid array (get a good controller for this because otherwise it will take an eon if you have to rebuild)Īnd then get an HDHomeRun (like 60 bucks) for your cable TV and then you have the ability to install the client side on any windows based computer on your network and even off if you get a right proper VPN router like the linksys LRT224 (actually made by cisco), i put my cable modem into gateway mode shut off the built in wifi and put a separate router and a separate Access point and it runs so much better, i think i rebooted my router maybe 2 times in a year too many problems with it and it has no native support for TV and won't ever have it unless the whole things gets re written. So most likely I will use my phone and possibly get a dirt-cheap tablet to use as a remote control for everything a tablet as cheap as 20 euro suffices for that.Īnd deep six the kodi thing. I also had the plan of using the Squeezeboxes as ir receivers, but I have not many remotes that are compatible for that functionality.
#Loxone remote access full#
However, once I have to full functionality for the squeezeboxes, I know the rest will be quite similar. My plan is:ġ control lights / temperature (done, temperature partly but enough)ģ get squeezebox info to loxone (done on eg side, not yet processed in loxone, using eventghost + xap)Ĥ control amplifier (concept works, using eventgost + webserver + marantz plugin in progress)ĥ get amplifier info bact to loxone (concept works, using eventghsot + python script + marantz plugin in progress)Ħ control mediacenter (still deciding: mediaportal/kodi, will be using eventghost + webserver)ħ get mediacenter info back to loxone (will be using eventghost + plugin for mediacenter + python script) I will use the Loxone miniserver to provide a user interface to control everything as it is faster than making a webinterface (less freedom, but it just works).
I've been working on the whole thing for years now, and am fed up with it being still an a unusable state. For now, I just want something that works. For sure I could do things more elegantly, but I'll just do it with small Python scripts.
It will not happen with the Loxone thing.
#Loxone remote access serial#
Perhaps I could try to modify from the point of view of the serial port plugin rather than from the Marantz Serial plugin. it would seem so magical to press a button on the amplifier and see the change on e.g. I also figured I would not need to use it that often: amplifier is out of reach for normal use and if everything is set from EventGhost, then I should have no problems.Įdit: but I should try again. The data sent by the amplifier on the serial port when the feature is enabled and a setting is changed is quite extensive. I would have loved to make it fully bi-directional (now, EG has to send a command and get a reply changes done on the amplifier are not sent to EG), but I did not manage. It happened to me with the Marantz Serial plugin, which I expanded with much more commands (named it Marantz RS232).
