iEAST Player LITE

The simplest version of the Virtual Device designed for the Home Center Lite hub.

It supports basic playback control (Play, Pause, Next, Prev), volume control, source selection (USB, AUX, BT) and calling presets stored in the device memory.

Some of the buttons contain example references to radio stations that the user can modify.

Due to the limitations of the HC Lite hub, this version cannot read the device status. Operation is limited to sending control commands.

iEAST Player

An extensive version of the Virtual Device with support for all functions of the iEAST devices. Allows full control and integration with other system components, scenes and LUA code.

Allows to control playback and volume, read device state and update user interface with proper statuses. Displays information about the source and file being played, as well as albumarts, when available. Allows to select a source (USB, AUX, BT), activate a preset, has set of sample buttons for playing internet radio with a description of how user can update them himself. The extension also supports track timing control and position, and controls sleep timer settings.

All modifications of the playback parameters performed by other users, for example by a mobile application, are displayed and available in the Fibaro system without delay.

This version of the extension is designed for Home Center HC2 (it will not work with the HC LITE hub). Is recommended for installations with one iEAST device, but it has exemplary buttons that allow for simple operation of few devices in multiroom mode (pairing, disconnection). If you have more than one iEAST player, you need to install one Virtual Device per each player.

Programmers and installers can access devices state and information via generated and available json structure.

iEAST Controller

An advanced version of the extension consisting of the main Virtual Device – the controller, which monitors the communication with many iEAST devices (IEAST Controller), and client devices (iEAST Client). User shall install one iEAST Controller per system, and one iEAST Client per each connected iEAST device.

The controller supports search function, to find iEAST devices in the network. Configuration of players based on IP addresses is not required from the user.

The functionality of the iEAST Client module is analogous to that of iEAST Player. Installation with a Controller module gives more possibilities to manage multiroom configurations. There are buttons that allow to connect selected devices into a group or disconnect a given device from a group. These buttons can be used later in scenes or in the user code. In this version, the user also has more control over the volume of the slave devices in groups.
