I have written the plugin against the Niles Audio ZR-6 Multizone System with both a master and a slave receiver installed; I believe that the command protocol should allow it to work with the ZR-4 in the exact same manner, but I don't have one to test.

I have an ICS, and the command set is very similar....

I am not familiar with that one... but I assume that this is it: http://www.intellicontrol.com/ICS/index.php? If so, I think that the plugin should work fairly out-of-the-box. I can make some additional commands available that are ICS specific as it looks like it supports a few more than the ZR-6.

Let me get the plugin out the door and then we can add those additional commands if you are interested. I am very close to having this finished but need to tweak a couple of out-lying cases, such as when the Niles Audio device loses power; the plugin throws errors with the bootup status information sent. But the actual control itself has been pretty solid thus far, so hopefully won't be long...

Any chance I could try a version of whatever you have ?

Thanks !

Yup, this is still coming but have been working to get a consistent framework for other plugins before getting this polished up; it has some limitations right now not being on that framework, but welcome to try if you want. Sending you a PM with information.
