Russound compatability

[bluezeno]

Does anyone know how to connect Hubitat with Russound? I have the Russound MCA-66 and the MBX-Pre and would love to be able to connect it with Hubitat.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

It’s probably possible, but not necessarily a simple thing to do. See this thread, for example:

Older russound (rs232) control support

Hey guys. I'm not much of a driver guy, I've only dabbled in modifying drivers for rs232 for other platforms. I have a russound controller existing in my home I am controlling through control4 right now but wondering if theres a way to port the same usability on the hubitat end. I know the hubitat doesn't have a native rs232 interface but looking online it seems there is support on the smart things and openremote utilizing rs232/IP servers to send the commands through the network to the device. …

Is their rs232 implemented over telnet? I built a rs232 driver using telnet for the Optoma projectors. It is marked as only working with the UHD51A but I'm fairly certain it works with most of the Optoma projectors.

Anyway, if they implemented rs232 over telnet in a similar way this driver will get you most of the way there. You can use it as a template and change the rs232 commands.
