Crestron Linn Lite Driver

The Crestron drivers do not look for Linn DS/DSM players by their names but for their capabilities. That is, searches for UPnP services of the Linn DS/DSM products and adjusts accordingly. This allows new firmware features and new product support WITHOUT the need for any Crestron driver updates.

Capabilities

  • Supports the Davaar firmware release, Note: 4th November 2022: still to be release, that will add support for the ‘Gateway Server’ component, Gateway API, to the products can be found HERE
  • Series4 Processor support
  • This works with other non-Crestron control points. That is, and changes by other control devices are shown in the Crestron panels
  • Control up to 20 DS/rooms with up to 8 Crestron control points setup (One Kustom DSM is classed as up to 12 DS with up to 8 Room + up to 4 Streamers)

Features:

  • Automatic discovery of a Gateway API instance within the local network and setup of a WebSockets connection.
  • Room selection - each CCP has an actively selected room within the house that can be changed via the CCP itself.
  • Grouping - Uses the current grouping of rooms set via Kazoo/LinnApp.
  • This will be reflected in the room selection menu and automatically update whenever a change in grouping occurs.
  • The standby states and volumes of listening rooms can be set individually
  • For each room in the house the user has control over the following DS functionalities:
  • Standby control - each room can be toggled between standby states
  • Volume control - step up/down, set absolute, mute toggle
  • Toggle shuffle and repeat states for appropriate sources
  • Transport control over any active playlist - play, pause, play/pause toggle, skip previous, skip next
  • Source selection - capable of selecting any visible external source and Spotify connect
  • Metadata - retrieves basic metadata for currently playing item including artwork
  • PIN selection - as on the current physical Linn DS units , 6 customizable pins can be setup using a Linn control point (Kazoo/LinnApp) to provide easy access to a favourite radio station, playlist, or external source
  • Pin metadata - the name and associated artwork for each pin can also be accessed via the module and displayed on a Crestron control point interface
  • Standby states of all rooms within the house can be changed quickly and easily from a room selection menu.
