Interfacing with 3rd party Controllers

2011-01-05T11:47:58-07:00

Im Ted, a Systems Integrator. Currently im working on a Home Project where I’m using AMX and iPad touchscreen to control the whole house automation.Questions :
1.Can Casa Tunes be controlled fully via iPad through web?
2.If Yes, can 2 or more separate iPad view The server for separate controls at the same time?
3.Whats the address to access the Casa tunes Server?
Thank you.

Source DDK - Ability to develop Interfaces for Casatunes to Interoperate with other devices

Are there any plans to provide an interface for developers (advanced users) to develop drivers/interfaces to allow CasaTunes to control those devices?

For example, I would like the ability to support certain devices.

Telnet Serial Interface

Hey guys,

Just trying some testing by trying to connect my automation controller(ELKM1G) to the casatunes software. Are you aware of anyone that has used the telnet configuration to connect to this type of controller?

The controller has a TCPIP interface that allows it to send commands through its own serial port out through the TCP/IP interface. I was able to get it to work if I created a ‘virtual Serial port’ (on my casatunes server) that directly connects to the controller’s IP. So I know that the communication is possible. I just wanted to see if I could eliminate the ‘virtual serial port’ and see if Casatunes would connect by sending and receiving messages from the controller directly.

I edited this line:
<add key =“CSISocketsPort” value=”[23],xxxx”> to read

<add key=“CSISocketsPort” value=“2101,192.168.1.103” >

Is there anything else that I may need to look at? Port 2101 is where all messages go out on the controller.

Thanks
Kevin

CasaTunes provides a comprehensive Serial API that can be used by RS-232 connected control devices, and home automation systems to integrate and control CasaTunes.

The documentation for the CasaTunes Serial API can be found HERE
