That look s awesome! I was able to get spotify working and looks like this -
I definitely like your look better - how could I switch to that? I would just want spotify and TV tab, and then the speaker zones, groups, and vol levels

OK. I am back from vacation and can pull together the components.
One question – you say you want a TV tab. Is the TV co-located with the DAX88?
In my setup, I have a wireless sender which sends the audio signal from my deck back to the closet that has all the equipment. The receiver is then plugged into one of the ports. I use this primarily for Sports broadcasts. YOu will need some way to get the sound into the DAX. If they are co-located, then it could be simply audio out from TV into the DAX, otherwise you would need a bluetooth or wireless kit.

I figured someone might appreciate this.
I have whole home audio - however my living room and basement both have receivers that could be a source OR destination for audio. And spotify could stream to any of them. So I created this card:

Finally I have 2 automations for each zone that has a receiver, that look like:
alias: Multimedia // Living Room // Use Multi-room Audio
description: ""
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- media_player.living_room_receiver_2
attribute: source
to: Multi-room Audio
- platform: state
entity_id:
- media_player.xantech8_living_room_receiver
from: "off"
condition: []
action:
- service: media_player.turn_on
data: {}
target:
entity_id: media_player.xantech8_living_room_receiver
- service: media_player.select_source
data:
source: Multi-room Audio
target:
entity_id: media_player.living_room_receiver_2
- service: media_player.select_sound_mode
data:
sound_mode: MCH STEREO
target:
entity_id: media_player.living_room_receiver_2
mode: single
and
alias: Multimedia // Living Room // Stop Multi-room Audio
description: ""
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- media_player.living_room_receiver_2
attribute: source
from: Multi-room Audio
- platform: state
entity_id:
- media_player.xantech8_living_room_receiver
to: "off"
condition: []
action:
- service: media_player.turn_off
data: {}
target:
entity_id: media_player.xantech8_living_room_receiver
- service: media_player.select_source
data:
source: TV Audio
target:
entity_id: media_player.living_room_receiver_2
- service: media_player.select_sound_mode
data:
sound_mode: DOLBY DIGITAL
target:
entity_id: media_player.living_room_receiver_2
mode: single
The net effect is:
- If I have a zone tuned to WiFi then
a. If spotify is streaming to WiFi, show the spotify control
b. Show a big button to start streaming spotify to my multi-zone audio. - If I have a zone tuned to my living room receiver
a. Show the living room receiver media control
b. IF spotify is streaming to my living room receiver, show the spotify control. - IF I have a zone tuned to my rec room receiver
a. Show the rec room receiver media control
b. IF spotify is streaming to my rec room receiver, show the spotify control. - Automations will automatically turn on my DAX zone if I switch the receiver’s input to the DAX, or switch my input to the DAX if I turn on the lliving room receiver zone on the DAX.
a. It will show the living room receiver control if the receiver is NOT set to have it’s input as the DAX
b. It will show the DAX living room control if the receiver’s input is set to the DAX - Automations will automatically turn OFF the DAX zone if I switch the input source away from DAX on the receiver, or switch the input source to the TV if I switch off the receiver zone on the DAX.
It’s kind of complicated, but it all works, and is great to interact with. I could easily add to that buttons to kick of playlists like others do, but this is the base control

FYI, I was able to set up a raspberry pi, connect the DAX88 to the pi via USB>rs232, install and configure ser2net, and point Home Assistant to the pi. Pretty slick and seems to be working well.

Hey all.
I’m so sorry, but I am a complete HA novice and I do not understand how to install this thing. I’ve got a MRA88 connected via a USB to Serial connection that I’ve tested as working properly with a pc.
I have no idea if Node is still needed, but I set up the Monoprice integration using “/dev/ttyUSB2” after installing the Xantech integration via HACS.
I then changed the confguration.yaml, but it still says unavailable. If there is anyone who could help me with this, I’d be more than happy to write some novice friendly documentation.
Happy to talk anytime either on the forum or on a Discord call.
Please help. Thank you all in advance.
EDIT: I’ve managed to get it to pick up that the zones are off, but it keeps giving the error “Failed to call service media_player/turn_on”.
Any ideas on that one?
I’m in the same boat as Bizzell (recently posted on the monoprice thread). I got it to connect to a xantech IP-RS232 for an old Xantech8x8 so now showing entities (also recently got it to read config.yaml zone info finally in lieu of Monoprice integration tool), but doesn’t recognize commands and get same error mentioned above (for both on/off zone or switch media). Not sure if it is still an end2end connection issue or just wrong trigger code being sent to amp? Also, is this program looking for feedback from unit (two way communication for zone status)? I have RS232 converter set up as telnet server, I believe.
I just finished installing PADs in many locations in the house. One of the screens is for the Dayton Audio DAX 88. Here’s what they look like on the wall. Walk up … play … enjoy!

Do you have code for this?
I duplicated, to the best of my ability, the screen you have above, but it doesn’t look great on a tablet so I am curious.
Here is my code for the screen you posted above, but I still need to do the backend scripts/automation to have it complete work.

Do these devices (monoprice, Dayton, etc) allow cross play of sources from a controller to another? For example, can you play source 1 connected on controller 1 to zone X on controller 2?
On the Monoprice 10761 all 6 sources can be used with all 6 outputs, and their a PA override to do system announcements.
Thanks, across different controllers or the same controller?
UPDATE: I looked through the dax88 manual and it has a page that states you need to split the input device across controllers so it doesn’t play natively across controllers.
On the Monoprice 10761 you can do it across up to 3 controllers for the output side, but as I understand it ONLY Primary 6 sources can be used.
Put another way, the maximum it can be is 6X18 NOT 18X18.
Great thanks for the confirmation!
You can daisy chain the Dax so output of one is input of another and still use the other inputs. So if you had 3 units you can connect zone 7 preamp out to zone 1 on second unit and zone 8 preamp out to zone 1 on third unit.
Unit 2 and 3 could still have other inputs but would only play on its connected speakers. If you wanted something playing on everything, you pick the input on unit 1 and output to all zones and set unit 2 and 3 to input 1.
So it’s like 6x18 + 6x6 + 6x6 … and wifi
@ryans …
NOTE: I am by no means a Python developer.
I did look at a fork of the Monoprice integration and took yours and added Bass, Treble and Balance support. I have gone as far as my skill level goes … attributes for each zone for Bass, Treble and Balance are added. Services that allow for setting those values are also added.
I can’t go any farther than this but it sure would be nice to expose these as NumberEntities so that a slider could be linked to them. I do not have the skills.
Screen showing state of the one of the zones:
A service call:
I would note that the min, max and balance numbers are different so I did also have to change the Dayton Audio in pyinsteon for Bass/Treble to 0 to 24 as those values are used for my unit (DAX88).
Given this GUI that is used to control the Zone Amp, this is the only piece missing that would allow for complete control of all features.
Through helpers and automations I have this working …
I could just use decluttering_templates I would suppose and do this if you think this is the right way. I will look at this over a few days, but it would be nice at least to evaluate/change/merge so that we can have bass/treble/balance attributes and services to modify them.
NOTE: I sent a change on Github to dayton.yaml for pyxantech. It changes the limits for bass and treble and it fixes an issue I noted when implementing this. The set_treble command was broken (extra “}”). I believe the same issue exists at least in monoprice.yaml
UPDATE: In thinking this through, I do not think one wants or needs number entities. I can create a very simple select where you select the zone and then the above bass, treble and balance can be adjusted per zone. One would only need an automation to fire when the zone changes to get the current values and on any one (treble, bass, balance) trigger to update the value through the service. Going to implement this today.
I have it all plugged in working perfect:

So question about this, not super good at reading code yet. But on the right side it looks like there are drop down menu’s, is that for selecting the music source per zone?
