Destroyer of Worlds Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I have a fairly specific question as it pertains to demanding music through scripting in Composer HE (2.10.2, thankfully now working). Below is a snippet of programming from my work day scheduler item: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Master -> CURRENT_VOLUME = 20 Bathroom->CURRENT_VOLUME=30 Select the song "Sweet Disposition" in Master delay 238 seconds Play Pandora station: Bon Iver Radio in room(s): 3rd Floor->Master, 3rd Floor->Bathroom Set the blind target level on NAME to Open</Description><XmlData><devicecommand owneridtype="" owneriditem="-1"><command>SET_LEVEL_TARGET</command><params><param> Bathroom -> CURRENT_VOLUME = 35 Turn on the Bathroom->Shower --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The issue I'm having is that when the song "Sweet Disposition" comes on, I lose about 5 seconds off the front of it as the command to play the song includes the signalling, switching, and powering on of the passive amps connected to the audio matrix. I was hoping there was a way to first turn that on, so the demand to play the song happens near immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lippavisual Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Change your amps from audio sensing to relay controlled. That will speed amp turn on a bit more. About as much as you can do other than leaving them on all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Relay control in my experience is MUCH faster. 5 seconds sure does indeed sound like signal sensing. And no you can't prevent that in pogramming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home Theater Advisors Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 If he uses the relays instead of audio sensing, couldn't he pause the song once it starts, pause 5 seconds, then play the song so that the amps have time to start up before the song starts?

Cyknight Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 IF it's relay controlled, yes - but that would have to be confirmed/changed first - using relay control, amps usually turn on in less than a second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
