Virtual devices


javene

Question

Hello!

I'm wondering what you all use the virtual device for. I need some ideas and information on what works and what doesn't.

For example, is it possible to use virtual devices together with Sonos, Squeezebox, smart tv's and stuff like that?

ill try to share as much as i know

virtual devices are used to control devices over network or rs232

i have a panasonic projector that has rs232 port and i will try to add that to the system

you can add various buttons with commands to send over net.

commands to send can be usually found in device manual

I also read in the polish forum that some people use it to control vlc player that supports http packets.

will post more if i get some:)

Kuuno, Please share your experience with the Panasonic projector including any strings you find that work for this.

Also what device you are using? Globalcache rs232 - wifi? or something similar.

I look forward to being able to configure this and I have a meeting with Panasonic on Tuesday

Has anyone tried using the RGB lighting controller in Virtual Devices? I only just noticed this now but will be a great feature if I can get this working!

  • I'm also interested in the RGB-lighting.

    How is it supposed to work? How is it connected to the HC2?

  • Hellooo?

    What about controlling your Samsung TV (via ethernet) ?

    Has anyone tried this?

    Is it the same commands for all "ethernet-enabled" samsung TV's? And what are the commands?
