RE: Wanted - auto sensing speaker switch

["Tim Hawes" <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gareth,

I was just wondering whether you could use Franks Probe system to monitor
the status of Sonos.

There's some info here:
http://www.armaghelectrical.com.au/page9.html

Does Sonos have an on/off LED you could monitor, or maybe the video probe
is
suitable for line level audio? I guess Frank would need to answer that
though.

HTH,

Tim.

Subject: [ukha_d] Wanted - auto sensing speaker switch

On my continuing quest to try to automate this bleeding Sonos ZonePlayer,
Im thinking one way is to sense when audio is being pumped out of the
analog ports and then use that as the trigger to automate the amp, etc.

Had a quick google but not a lot has come up (apart from SCART switchers)
- Anyone seen a simple audio switcher ? As long as it either sends out a
voltage or hits a relay of sorts internally, I can use that as a trigger
into Comfort.
