MAESTRO M9
Maestro M9 Automation Integration
Automation Integration
Part of the joy of a great home theater is that you don’t have a tray of
remote controls staring at you whenever you want to watch a movie. Hid-
den away behind the scenes is a workhorse that takes care of the mundane
tasks of turning on all the components, lowering the curtains, dimming
the lights, popping the corn, etc. This faithful servant can take the form of
a simple learning remote control, or a system as capable as a whole house
automation system with touch screens. There are a wide variety of theater
controllers available.
There are 2 methods of controlling the Maestro M9, other than through
the IR remote and the Front Panel. You may choose either RS-232 or IP
control via the General Settings menu. Both methods use the same com-
mand structure format as defined in the automation documentation found
on our website. The Maestro M9 command set also takes advantage of the
extensive discrete IR command library with the IR simulation command.
This adds a great deal of flexibility to system design, general functionality
and personal customization. It is possible to use both hand held remotes
and control panels in the same installation depending on your needs.
IP Control
Obtain the IP address from the Maestro M9’s Network menu. Setting the
IP address of the unit to static is good practice. When setting to a static
address, always include the DNS and subnet info otherwise your Internet
Radio will not likely work. Communication occurs on port 50,000 in the
automation system. You will need to confirm that control is set to IP – this
is set at the bottom of the General Settings menu.
Example: 192.168.20.246:50000
Please Note:
Automation documenta-
tion, modules and other
control docs are available
