HC-800 Audio input

Hi Everyone,

I am looking to use the HC-800 Audio inputs and want to have them trigger some custom programming when audio is sensed on the input. I assumed that they had that capability, but i cannot seem to find anywhere in the program section that shows that they do.

to be more specific about what i am trying to do (in case there is a better way), is to connect a chromecast audio into my system that will trigger the system to turn on certain zones when i stream audio to it.

my multichannel amp does not have audio sensing so the only way i can think to do it is to connect it into the HC800 directly so that way the system will know when music is playing on it. does that capability exist, or is there a better way to do what i want to do?

any help would be greatly appreciated!

No, controllers do not have the ability to sense/program off of sensing.

Control4 matrix amplifiers as well as Control4 & Triad Matrix switches DO have that ability, so do some 3rd party Matrix switches (VideoStrom is one of them I believe) though I haven't tested it on anything but Control4 gear.
