As a prerequisite ensure that the Russound device is controllable using the Russound iOS app. You also need to have git installed.
- Install russound using: npm install russound.rio
- Update your configuration file. See the sample below.
Example config :
{
"rio":{
"name":"Russound",
"controllers":[
{
"name":"MCA XXX",
"ip":"your.russound.ip",
"zones":[
{
"name":"Zone1",
"display_name":"Zone 1",
"sources":[
"Source1",
"Source2",
"Source3",
"Source4",
"Source5",
"Source6"
]
},
{
"name":"Zone2",
"display_name":"Zone 2",
"sources":[
"Source1",
"Source2",
"Source3",
"Source4",
"Source5",
"Source6"
]
},
{
"name":"Zone3",
"display_name":"Zone 3",
"sources":[
"Source1",
"Source2",
"Source3",
"Source4",
"Source5",
"Source6"
],
"enable":false
},
{
"name":"Zone4",
"display_name":"Zone 4",
"sources":[
"Source1",
"Source2",
"Source3",
"Source4",
"Source5",
"Source6"
]
},
{
"name":"Zone5",
"display_name":"Zone 5",
"sources":[
"Source1",
"Source2",
"Source3",
"Source4",
"Source5",
"Source6"
]
},
{
"name":"Zone6",
"display_name":"Zone 6",
"sources":[
"Source1",
"Source2",
"Source3",
"Source4",
"Source5",
"Source6"
]
}
],
"sources":[
{
"name":"Source1",
"display_name":"Source 1"
},
{
"name":"Source2",
"display_name":"Source 2"
},
{
"name":"Source3",
"display_name":"Source 3"
},
{
"name":"Source4",
"display_name":"Source 4"
},
{
"name":"Source5",
"display_name":"Source 5"
},
{
"name":"Source6",
"display_name":"Source 6"
}
]
}
]
}
}The names Zone1, Zone2, Zone3, Zone4, Zone5 and Zone6 should match the Zone names given in the Russound Controller configuration (the names in the Russound App)
The names Source1, Source2, Source3, Source4, Source5 and Source6 should match the Source names given in the Russound Controller configuration (the names in the Russound App)
Any non configured sources identified as 'N/A' will be ignored
With this configuration you can define which sources are attached to which zones, the Russound API doesn't identify the configuration correctly. That is, if different sources are selected for different zones in the Russound Controller configuration there is no way to determine this through the API. The Russound App doesn't handle this, I've added the capability to manage
