Hi all, I am looking for a way to control my CAM6.6 from an iPod Touch. Anyone have any ideas?
Russound doesn't use an ASCII protocol. They use hex with a wacky (IMHO) checksum. I have another .pdf with more but, it's too big to upload here.If someone can send me the newest RNET ASCII protocol spec(I can't find it on russound's website), I'd be happy to throw something together that can do at least what a S1/S2 keypad can do and distribute it for free. Unless there is an unexpected problem I'm guessing a day or two of development time. I can only test on a CAM6.6 for now.
Russound has a solution on the way, but not certain when it will be available.

Since they already have the iBridge and the iDock, I figured iPhone/iTouch control would be in the works. Thanks for the confirmation and lets hope we see something soon.

A "perfect" solution would include some type of IP to serial converter. I guess this would be required since the Touch and iPhone are IP only.
If you can be patient a few more days I have something in the works. Its basic, and only tested on a CAM6.6/IP232, but should work. I've just gotten a bit busy lately. All in all about 1k lines of code. I'd highly recommend anyone that understands computer programming to look into making iphone apps for automation. It is super easy, esp when dealing with these elementary protocols, and as long as you aren't charging much for it support isn't an issue. If you want to do it full time though, good luck troubleshooting everyone who demands a refund because they don't know how to configure their router.

That's great news! Thanks for your effort and time. Keep us posted as things progress.
