General Discussion / Re: Combining iTunes, Airplay and Sonos

« on: July 26, 2014, 10:52:17 am »

Hi Tom!

I was in the same boat hence the creation of Myro:Bridge and Myro:Air.  I wanted to simplify my system so my kids and wife could use it reliably.

You have a "headless" Russound system, meaning no Russound keypads instead you use the Russound App and automation system (KNX keypads) to control the Zones which should work fine.

Personally, I have a Russound Sphere System with XM, two iPod Bridges, Sonos and Myro:Air.   We seem to be using the Myro:Air exclusively now as all the streaming services we use are all available on iOS devices and we have iPhones and iPads around the house (Myro:Air also works with Windows and Android using UPnP).

The nice feature about Myro:Air is you can plug it into your Russound system and get 2-way metadata/transport control and/or you can control it via RS-232 via your control system and also get album art to the keypads if they support jpg/png via network url.

If you love your Sonos, the Myro:Bridge would bring 2-way metadata and transport control to the Russound (and anything connected to it, e.g. automation system).  You will need to use the Sonos app to change sources).

You have many options -- comes down to how you think your family will best utilize the system.

We can ship directly to you worldwide.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi --  You sure can!

Key Digital is unique where you can "daisy-chain" their matrix.  You accomplish this by using the Key Digital (Daisy-chained A01/A02 Prefix) setting on Myro:Bridge and KD Matrix.

The only needs a single Myro:Bridge whereas other require a Myro:Bridge for each matrix.

Yes -- this is for uninterrupted Pandora playback.  What version of firmware are you running on Myro:Bridge -- I believe we have a fix for this.

General Discussion / Re: New Version soon??

« on: June 28, 2014, 07:14:58 pm »

Yes, I see you have some support for IP cameras, but it is my understanding that you only support display of them in a 4:3 format, not 16:9 yet. Please correct me if I am wrong, the last post I saw on the subject was a year ago. As for which one, I am looking at an HD IP camera from Foscam. As for the SONOS, I previously asked if you would support SONOS speakers directly from the interface in your Feature Request section, which you indicated was possible and would be added to the feature list. So I am curious about a timeline for those two features specifically. The HD format 16:9 IP cameras are my first concern, but the SONOS support without the bridge would really make this the complete package for my home. Also, it appears the last update was almost 4 years ago, which is a long time between versions, so I was just looking for some feedback as to when a new version might be out. Thanks much

Correct, it's 4:3 right now and we have a 16:9 build in beta.  As for SONOS support, it would be possible, the challenge is we have limited resources and have put those into Myro:Bridge and Myro:Air.    Myro:Home is still an active product -- that said, it will probably be a while until a new version is publicly release.

Thanks for your support!

Hi!

We already support IP cameras -- any one in particular you're interested in?

As for Sonos, we support Sonos if you are using your HAI with Russound Controllers.  Then you need the Myro:Bridge with the Sonos Firmware.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

General Discussion / Re: Static IP in MyroBridge

« on: June 07, 2014, 11:43:41 pm »

Myro:Bridge uses ZeroConf model and the best way to set a static IP is using your router.   It's should be pretty straight forward to do so -- let me know what router your using.

Let me look into it... it sounds like it would be similar to the proof-of-concept we did for HAI which can also send RNET via RS232.    If I understand correctly, the ELK is like a HAI where you cannot write your order drivers so we need to "emulate" something that already is supported.  Correct?

Hi George -- can the ELM send and receive RS232?  If so, you should be able to.  Look at the Myro:Bridge protocol.
