Attached is a Plugin for a Multizone Audio Controller. This was originally developed for the Monoprice 6 Zone controller but there several other controllers this plugin should be compatible with. The following products all appear to use the same control protocol.
-
Monoprice 6 Zone Home Audio Multizone Controller.

This setup also requires an IP to Serial converter so it can be controlled over a standard network connection. You can use a product like the Global Cache IP2SL.

To install the plugin, use the Plugin Import utility in the Designer. The import process will ask you for the IP Address & Port of the IP to Serial converter. The default port for Global Cache serial converters is port 4999. It will also ask you for the number of zones, default is 6.
Here are the custom XAML templates that were built for the plugin:
AudioZoneTile.xaml (3.1 KB)
AudioZoneDetails.xaml (10.8 KB)
