Re: Radio sources and Russound kit?

Paul,

I'm using 2 Sky boxes for mine - one is the multiroom box for the
whole house video distribution and so gives TV audio through the
CAV, and the other is dedicated to Radio. Staion selection is done
through Homeseer events and a USB-UIRT. Part of the HS event fires a
message with the staion name through the Mainlobby Server Russound
plugin. Station selection is by Mainlobby scene:

I also have the Russound plugin setup so that when 'radio' (Source
2) is selected, the up/down keys cycle through the stations and the
favourites keys (f1/f2) select the wifes favourite stations - note
there's not a mention of MY favourite stations ;-)

Errrr - I should point out that's how it USED to work, until I
upgraded to HS 2 and ML3 ! Haven't had the time to get everything
back working but the main bits are there. That's one of the reasons
I was interested in the HS CAV plugin as I was using the older free
CAV ML plugin and haven't been convinced to part with more money for
the current version - especially when I found I couldn't re-use the
old database of commands I's spent days working on ....

Kevin.
