multi zone control

Post by ellisr63 »

I currently have Girder for controlling my Autopatch HDTV matrix switcher and would like to be able to send the commands from Meedio. I would like to know how to make a page and how would I set it up to send the various commands to Girder. I will also be controlling 2 dvd changers with Girder and would like to control them from Meedio too. I have searched but I need more detailed instructions as to how to do this.

Re: multi zone control (Autopatch)

I have this running with Girder, USB_UIRT and a Pronto remote today controlling a 1YDM with 8 inputs and 8 outputs. The way I configured it was to have the first screen on the pronto be 'rooms'. Once you select a room you get a list of all the inputs and press which one you want. The pronto then switches to the remote for that input.



So, my wife presses 'Living Room' and then presses 'Tivo'. This sends an IR signal via my distributed IR system that is picked up by my USB-UIRT. This is passed to Girder which then blasts a command over serial to the Autopatch (CI1O5) (change INPUT 1 to OUTPUT 6). It works quite well and is totally wife compatible.



I'll be moving it to Housebot soon as soon as I figure out how to do it :)



If your interested in my current configuration drop me an email
