CasaTunes brings many new exciting capabilities to HDL Automation installations, including:
HDL has added CasaTunes support to their BusPro HDL-MPL8.48 display panel and Enviro muti-function touch LCD panel (HDL-MPTLC43.46), providing complete control of your CasaTunes music server rooms using these panels, including selecting the room to be controlled by the panel, powering the selected room on and off, changing the source for the room, changing the volume for the room, and changing the tone settings for the room.
In addition to room control, you can use these panels to control the music, including toggling between playing and pausing the music, skipping to the next or previous tracks, selecting to play the next or previous CasaTunes playlist, or selecting a specific CasaTunes playlist.
Setting up the CasaTunes Driver for HDL requires checking a simple checkbox in CasaSetup.
The current solution supports up to 24 rooms and 9 sources, meeting the requirements of the most demanding projects.
