Russound Audio Sources & Zones

[Pnord]

Hello,
I have a Russound CAV-6 system connected to my OmniPro system.
Some time ago I had the audio sources & speaker zones as Homeseer-2 devices but I don't remember how.
I seem to remember that some unit or flag numbers were taken over by the audio devices in the Omni system.
Now I can't find the unit/flag #'s or whatever to monitor &/or control the sound system with Homeseer.
Where are they ? Can I create HS devices for them or virtual devices to monitor the status?
Thanks
Paul
BTW I love what you have done to the Plug in.

Ok, I think i've found them, Flags 65 to 76 & flags 81 to 116 are not able to be renamed.
The flags "hijacked" by the audio setup reside somewhere in here I think.
Since I cannot rename them, the plugin cannot find them.
Is there any way to use, monitor or manipulate them via HS ?
Thanks
Paul

Interested to know if you have you been able to determine what conditions the flags represent? Could you please post the descriptions here so I can possibly use them inside the HAI automation script. Thanks!

I've been looking, everything above Flag 61, #453 appears unusable. Cannot rename most & the few that you can are not discovered by the Plug-in, PCAccess doesn't show or report the status of these, but they DO seem available for use in the "Automation" section although I'm not sure of their value since they cannot be manipulated or read. I suppose I could assign an Omni flag to each speaker, have HS run these flags & have PCAccess turn on the speaker(s) by monitoring the flag status but I was hoping for a more direct solution. (kinda running out of available flags, I'd hate to waste 12 for speakers & sources here)
Thanks

I see Blade has a Russound plug-in, I'll give that a try.

Here went with a mini serial server which worked OK for use with the Omnitouch screens and Homeseer Russound plugin (HS2 version).

It was still much slower than using the Russound keypads which were installed wherever there were Russound zoned speakers.

Slower (a crawl relating to response times) ==> HS serial plugin, Omnitouch screens (old and new). Fast and never replaced were the Russound digital keypads.

None the less here doesn't matter much on the speed as I rarely change the setttings that I use per source / zone of audio.
