Anyone willing to coach a total n00b in using the API?

[R1200CL]

Then I want to be able to use the Roon app to increase and decrease the volume of the amplifier.

I would like to do the same myself with my Theta. They also use RS232 interface. And I suppose you already purchased an RS232 to Ethernet converter as I have done

And maybe try to email Denon / Marantz to support RAAT. Which I suppose is hard for them to do as it seems they already made their own standard. Heos or something…

Now, there also exist Ethernet to ir converters. And ir codes for the different gear is quite public available I think.

So maybe the “right” or best direction is to make a Roon universal ir transmitter ?
Quite equal to that Logitech universal remote that cover almost the whole world of ir remotes. It requires you to login to internet and configure your remote.

Understand where I’m headed?

Now, how about Roon connect with Logitech and ask to interact with their database, is that one possible direction ?

Or alternatively we need a Roon API that transmits ir codes.
Is that easy to do ?

Or can you think of a way around using airplay ?
(RAAT support airplay)

Has someone already invented a universal airplay to ir coverter ?

Maybe email these guys https://www.simplecontrol.com/ ?
Ops. Someone already asked;

Have you seen this:

Roon API and Eventghost

So here is my grand plan; I have a PC that runs the automation program Eventghost. Eventghost can receive IR signals from a remote, and then do any number of cool things that you tell it to do when a specific IR is received. Eventghost, via plugins, can do URLs, Telnet, SSH, and more. I would like to write up some basics using the Roon API to Play/Pause, Skip, and Volume, and then call those API functions via an IR remote: IR Command --> Windows PC --> Eventghost --> Roon API/Extension --> …
