MZC_Gateway
This is an image that contains an asp.net core web api project that allows loxone to control an MZC-66 amp (and slave if needed) via a local serial port.
I am hosting this within a docker container on my MusicServer4Lox (http://music-server.net)
this can be run via:
docker run -d --name mzc_gateway --device=/dev/ttyUSB0 -p 5000:5000 --restart on-failure davidwallis3101/mzc_gateway
appsettings.json needs work to get this onto persistent storage.
Control is via:
http://ipAddress:5000/api/poweron/1 (where 1 is the zone number).. http://ipAddress:5000/api/poweroff/1
there are also methods for: poweroff (power on also sets the source)
Zone numbers start at 1, not 0 as per the amp's api - this was to make things neater in my logic within loxone, I may make this configurable for the start zone.
Connectivity
Tested with CH340 and PL2303 on windows fine - these don't work with XON/XOFF flow control under linux, however the FTDI232RL chipset does. So in short only use an FTDI232RL based USB to DB9 Adapter to connect to the amplifier
