jeffatwork Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 What's the best way and best practice to shut off all audio in entire house. I'm new to this and attempting to create a macro to shut off all audio regardless of source (Pandora, Sirius, Amazon music, digital, etc....) I have 2 receivers and an 8 zone amp. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Use a room control driver and set it to all the rooms and just use the off command on that. That won't be popcorny like a macro will be. That will all happen at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffatwork Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 Not sure what a "room control driver" is and I likely don't have that. Was more looking for a best practices way to solve the issue vs getting a driver to accomplish this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Using that free driver is the best way to accomplish it and is the best practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstafford388 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 The macro would just be a room off command for every room with audio in the project. As mentioned though, the room control driver would be much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucecampbell Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Drivers need to be added by a dealer, if you are happy to get a dealer to add the driver for you then go ahead and request the driver msgreenf suggests, as this should be pretty useful for other stuff you want to do. If you just want a solution to try now without dealer input, then you want to use the room off command. This will ensure C4 knows the current status of each room. Avoid using the specific codes available for your equipment in the 'Commands' list, as you need C4 to follow the action you take so the room status is correct. ie: use 'Turn the Room Off' as opposed to send command 'Power_Off' to device XYZ 1. Create a Macro called 'AVOff' 2. Add commands to 'Turn Off room X' 3. trigger your macro from a button somewhere. - I have my macro run as part of a sequence when I ask Alexa to turn on security/I use my 'away' method at the door.

tekki70 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 we use a room control driver in every room it is a nice driver, then we put a room control driver in a say rack room, we hide that room and set all rooms to be controlled by room control driver. ez-pz one click will turn off all rooms. its a dealer added free driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
