Introduction

This binding integrates with Sonance DSP Amplifiers. It supports all three models (DSP 2-150, DSP 8-130 and DSP 2-750) but for now it's only tested with the DSP 8-130. For each group you can enable or disable sound (toggle mute) or set the volume.

For installation of the binding JAR on your system, please see the Wiki page Bindings.

Binding Configuration

Edit the file openhab.cfg located in ${openhab_home}/configurations/:

############################## Sonance binding ########################################
#
# Sonance refresh rate in ms 
sonance:refresh=60000

When a command for a new volume or mute toggle is pressed, the value is updated immediately. So their is no need to lower te refresh rate to get a faster response.

Logging

In order to configure logging for this binding to be generated in a separate file add the following to your /configuration/logback.xml file;

<appender name="SONANCEFILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
   <file>logs/nest.log</file>
   <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy">
      <!-- weekly rollover and archiving -->
      <fileNamePattern>logs/sonance-%d{yyyy-ww}.log.zip</fileNamePattern>
      <!-- keep 30 days' worth of history -->
      <maxHistory>30</maxHistory>
   </rollingPolicy>

<!-- Choose level ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG or TRACE for detailed logging -->
<logger name="org.openhab.binding.sonance" level="TRACE" additivity="false">

</logger>

Known Issues

1. Getting current power status from the amplifier fails because of a bug in the Sonance software version 2.31. This is reported to Sonance and they are working on a solution. This is only when the power on method is set to IP. When requesting the power status, music from the digital input module just stops and you have to reboot the device.
   Update 19/01/2015: This problem is fixed in the Sonance software version 2.39.
2. The auto on method "music" seems to fail in version 2.31 when using an digital input module. This is reported to Sonance and they are working on a solution.
   Update 19/01/2015: This problem still exists in version 2.39.
