Thanks for the responses. I think my soldering skills are poor enough to rule out the "build your own" option. I've looked at the X10 option before, and it seems to be less than wife/parent friendly. I constantly find myself reviewing how the Harmony remote works (Seriously, the #$%! thing has a button that says "Watch TV").
There seems to be no solution that is: Seamlessly integrated into the Squeezebox. No additional steps, no caveats, power on the Squeezebox and the amp powers on, always (I'm looking at you, Squeeze Network) Does not require me to build/solder a 120V "mains" device (I prefer my fires in the woodstove) If it requires 3'rd party add-on software, it should be well supported. I've set up too many projects around software where the developer lost interest and abandoned the project. Yes, I'm willing to pay for software that fulfills a need. I don't mean this to be critical, I sincerely appreciate the suggestions. This is the last nit in an otherwise flawless system. I'm finally past my WOL issues, my flaky alarms, stability problems, tagging, file management, etc... Perhaps I'll just need to break down an buy an amp that supports direct control. I just hate to replace a perfectly serviceable and sweet sounding amp. Perhaps I'm just being too lazy, it is just flipping a switch. Ah, well. -- wsmithjr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wsmithjr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14347 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=82509 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
