Hey guys,
I'm looking to use X-10 to control multizone audio through an audio jukebox PC and am currently trying to map out how many keys I need to do everything I want.
I ran across the Keypad Linc on at Automated Outlet and saw that it supports up to 4 toggles which could make life much easier.
My question is whether each button can be set to toggle independatly or do they all have to be set to toggle the same number of times?
Just for a general overview of what I'm thinking of doing, I'm hoping to load up an Audio PC (APC) with 5 sound cards (4 zones+1 synced zone). The APC will be running 5 instances of Winamp, 1 for each sound card. For interfacing the APC and the X10 switches I'm going to use a CM11A and Girder running the CM11A plugin.
I figure I can use an 8 button Keypad Linc to control Stop, Play, Next Track, Prev. Track, Vol +, Vol -, Synced Play, and Zone Play. If I can use the Keypad Linc's toggle feature I can combine what would be otherwise seperate buttons and add additional features like Pause/Unpause and Random play.
So, having said all that (and hoping it all makes sense as I am well past my bedtime) would the KeyPad Linc be appropriate in this case?
