Supported Things

For the moment the devices that are supported by this binding are

• STR-DN1080
• HT-CT800
• SRS-ZR5
• HT-ST5000
• HT-Z9F
• HT-ZF9
• HT-MT500

When being defined in a *.things file, the specific thing types STR-DN1080, HT-ST5000, HT-ZF9, HT-Z9F, HT-CT800, HT-MT500 and SRS-ZR5 should be used.

Please note that these thing types are case sensitive (you need to define them in upper case).

Discovery

The SonyAudio devices are discovered through UPnP in the local network and all devices are put in the Inbox.

Thing Configuration

The SonyAudio Thing requires the network address, port and path as a configuration value in order for the binding to know how to access the device. Additionally, a refresh interval, used to poll the Sony Audio device, can be specified (in seconds).

Thing sonyaudio:HT-ST5000:1 [ipAddress="192.168.123.123", port=10000, path="/sony", refresh=60]
