Dayton Audio Controller Plugin

RogueProeliator · Post by **RogueProeliator** » Sun Jun 16, 2024 9:54 pm

I have 8 zones and am thinking of getting the Dayton 8/8 switch. Will your Plug-in control eight zones?

I can't say for certainty that it will support any particular model to be honest -- but there is nothing inherently in the plugin that limits it to 6 zones of output. There is an arbitrary limit of 6 zones of input but that could be increased relatively easy if needed. Theoretically this already supports zones 9-18 via chaining. SO I would expect it would outside of not out-of-the-box support for input 7 and 8. If you get it and it works aside from that we can add it in quickly.

Excellent, will let you know.

Hi Adam,

Got my DAX 88. Indigo appears to be hooked up to the unit but it will not respond to any commands, even when rebooting to get status, trying to turn a zone on and off from a created zone device, change volume via dimmer control, etc.

for what it's worth I also subbed in a different serial converter, and that made no difference.

RogueProeliator · Post by **RogueProeliator** » Tue Jul 23, 2024 11:32 pm

Can you turn the debug up to High and try executing a command? The commands that it is sending look correct for all the Dayton Audio and I just double checked myself in the manual for DAX 88. SO, my guess is the connection isn't quite correct for some reason and that is the issue. High Debug may or may not show anything, but is a good place to start.

I don't see that it is getting any feedback from the unit?

hamw · Post by **hamw** » Sun Aug 04, 2024 3:46 pm

the included USB to serial connector supplied by Dayton seemed like was a dumb plug that would not communicate at all. So I am using a Gearmo Data Communications Interface Converter, with two RS-232 plugs. I swapped the plugs, and the plugin generated an error, so it seems like it is doing some kind of handshake but not getting any response back. Could I http into the unit via a web interface?

Any thoughts?

I've finally been able to spend some time, and just to be sure something wasn't amiss in general, I just tried putting my Dayton through the paces and all seems to be working. Except when I turn off the device and back on, the plugin doesn't seem to catch the dropped connection and doesn't successfully reconnect... but that obviously is not your issue here.

You are correct that in your assertion that it is not getting feedback from the device via the serial connection despite seemingly successfully connecting. My guess is we are not getting a good connection for some reason. That debug log should look something similar to this:

Code: Select all

Dayton Audio Controller Debug   Executing full status update request...
   Dayton Audio Controller Debug   Sending command: ?10
   Dayton Audio Controller Debug   Effect execution: Calling function zone_status_response_received
   Dayton Audio Controller Debug   Received status update for Zone 1: ?10
#>1100000000250707100100
#>1200000000070707100300
#>1300000000250707100100
#>1400000000250707100100
#>1500000000140707100300
#>1600000000130707100300
#

I would suggest we go back to the basics... can you disable the plugin and attempt to connect to the controller via some terminal? If you can connect, try typing in "?10" (obviously without the quotes) and enter. It may be easier outside of the plugin to ensure we have good communications before we debug within the plugin.

When you attempt a connection, the parameters should be:
9600 Baud
8 Bits
1 Stop Bit
No Parity

Well, I just don't seem to be able to establish communication with the device. I tried the GearMo adapter as well as the Keyspan USA19HS with new drivers. Checked the FTDI etc. No luck using the plugin or the Serial app direct command. I'll contact Dayton and see if they have any ideas; maybe it's a dead serial port. Any further thoughts would be appreciated.

hamw · Post by **hamw** » Sun Oct 13, 2024 2:17 pm

just wondering if this is helpful.... I tried loading the FTDI driver, but not sure if it worked.

Actually I can control the device with the Serial application, with <01PR01 then <01PR00 turning Zone 1 on and off. Here's the response:

Code: Select all

MCU+PAS&<01PR00

So no issues with the unit or the serial cable.

Could you please look at the plugin errors? Thanks so much!
