I'd be interested to see that PCB solution -- all I've seen are simple on/off AC relays. As far as I know, no Squeezebox has or can have a serial port, so you would either need the amp to be next to the SqueezeCenter machine (as it is with my Denon system) or you would need a device like a Sena LS100 (LS110?) that provides a telnet-like network interface to a serial device like the amp. If your SB is wireless, you should be able to connect something like the Sena through the SB's ethernet port, using the SB's bridging ability. My plugin should work with devices like the Sena, but I don't have one to test with and haven't heard from anyone who's tried yet. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver ContextMenu FuzzyTime KidsPlay KitchenTimer PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63486 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
