I solved this with a cheap XAP800 unit.
It serves also my music throughout the house.
A very robust solution but it takes some work to get it right
Thanks for the information could you please shear more details or set up
The xap800 here is up and running 25/7 for 15 years now so itβs reliable enough I think. But to set it up it needs some planning beforehand. Please have a look at the manual to get a impression what the device can do and to see if it tick your boxes. I can help you with the setup which is not complicated but I prefer to do that if you want to go ahead with it.
Basically it is creating a serial sensor in HA and make a few small automations for each room. (available)
Sensor
- platform: serial
serial_port: < your device> Example: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB2.0-Ser_-if00-port0
name: "ZMC"
baudrate: 38400
dsrdtr: true
In configuration.yaml
(Change the device path to yours)
shell_command:
zmc_control: bash -c "echo -ne '#50 {{ value }}\r' >> /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB2.0-Ser_-if00-port0"
Automation example:
action:
- service: shell_command.zmc_control
data:
value: '''MUTE 1 M 0'''
Thank you this is so informative
If there are another ways its always welcome
