pdapice Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 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!

Cyknight Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 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.

pdapice Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 i was afraid of that. I have some older xantech amps which have a matrix already built in to them (MX88) and they have tons of class D power and sound great. not ready to ditch them yet so i think i need to find a work around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 While redundant, you could use a Sonos connect with it's input and set it to feed into the amps, and set it's auto room features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
