Music and Zipabox
Under Consideration
Why is only Sonos compatible with the Zipabox (ie change songs, volume)? I have a Yamaha Musiccast setup that I love. Why cannot it be included in the system? is it due to hardware or software? Are there any plans to make Musiccast compatible in the near future?
Cheers
I like this idea

In order to get a direct answer I would recomend you to open a ticket on zipato support. But, usally any new development takes a LOONG time with zipato so dont expect it soon.

If your Yamaha has Ethernet access and supports http commands, you can use it. I have only network at receiver and use it sorted music. Fairly limited as every task requires a separate hot command but works.

Look at my posts on controlling Sonos speakers and check whether Musiccast supports HTTP Requests so that you can do something similar.

Thanx guys, I did send a ticket and Zipato replied as expected: (..."don't have time now, but maybe in the future IF enough people requests it"...).
David, I had a look at your posts. I'm impressed, but I don't think I'm there just yet. As a beginner, I was looking for something fully integrated out of the box. My idea was to have a set up with the Fibaro Swipe in the kitchen, and just wave to change songs or up/down the volume. Or wave to get the weather forecast read out lound (and control security).
If I may ask; Sonos, being somewhat compatible, is that due to that Sonos work on the Z-wave-mhz, (ie hardware) or is it a wifi/http tweak? I'm not very good with these things, so apologies if I got it messed up. What would it take for Sonos to do what I want? Do the gents at Zipato need to do some work?
Cheers

Allplay by qualcomm supports numerous vendors, and would be a good option. They all are. Improved Sonos support for TTS to a Sonos or DLNA player would be ideal.
Plugin/addon/driver store is vital for Zipato add features and product support.
