ioBroker.soundcraft

Tests:

Control and monitor your Soundcraft Ui series digital mixer from ioBroker.

This adapter provides full integration with Soundcraft Ui12, Ui16, and Ui24R digital mixers, allowing you to control all mixer functions through ioBroker and integrate them with your smart home automation.

• Soundcraft Ui12
• Soundcraft Ui16
• Soundcraft Ui24R

The adapter automatically detects your mixer model and creates the appropriate channels.

• Fader Level: Master output volume control (0-1)
• Pan: Master stereo pan control (0-1)
• Dim: Master dim function for monitoring (0-1)

Full control for all hardware input channels (12/16/24 depending on model):

• Fader Level: Channel volume/fader position (0-1)
• Mute: Mute state (0=unmuted, 1=muted)
• Pan: Stereo pan position (0-1)
• Gain: Input gain/trim (0-1)
• Phantom Power: +48V phantom power for condenser microphones (0=off, 1=on)

Each AUX bus has:

• Master Controls: Fader Level, Mute, Pan for the AUX output
• Input Routing: Individual control for each hardware input to the AUX bus
  • Fader Level per input
  • Mute per input
  • Pan per input

Example: aux.3.input.2.faderLevel controls how much of Input 2 is sent to AUX 3

• Fader Level: FX send level (0-1)
• Mute: FX mute state (0-1)

• Control mute groups 1-6 (0=unmuted, 1=muted)
• Mute/unmute multiple channels simultaneously

• State: Current player state (idle/playing/paused/stopped)
• Play: Start playback
• Stop: Stop playback
• Pause: Pause playback

The adapter connects to your Soundcraft Ui mixer via WebSocket over your local network. The mixer must be on the same network as your ioBroker server.

• All mixer changes (via hardware, web interface, or app) are automatically synchronized to ioBroker
• Changes made in ioBroker are immediately sent to the mixer
• Uses RxJS observables for efficient real-time updates

1. Install the adapter from the ioBroker repository or npm
2. Configure the adapter instance:
   • Mixer IP Address: The IP address of your Soundcraft Ui mixer (e.g., 192.168.1.100)
   • Poll Interval: How often to check connection status (default: 1000ms)
   • Enable VU Meter: Optional VU meter monitoring (increases CPU usage)
   • VU Meter Interval: Update frequency for VU meters (default: 100ms)
