yes - it’s another hardware recommendation thread. The reason therefore is, that i’ve searched trough countless other similar threads but none seems to adress my needs. I’ll explain my situation to you all and excuse in advance for my language mistakes. I’m from germany and english isn’t my native language.
Right now, I’m working on my bachelor thesis. I’ve developed a smart turning knob. It should be used as a multifunctional controller for different smart home devices. For example you should be allowed to controll your lights and blinds with the same controller. The logic to decide between these options is inside the turning knob controller and got nothing to do with openhab2. I’ll connect this controller to openhab2 so that i can adress other to openhab2 connected devices. For example: If there are Philips Hue Lamps connected you can dim these lamps by turning the knob. It all works fine so far. Now I’m looking for some devices to controll which have some functionality that is similar to a turning knob. For example turning up and down the volume of a music player. I hope you can point out some devices to me that would fit my needs. I’m looking especially for something like a radio that you can controll via openhab2 (no internet radio, but the real thing).
Plain connection through a simple TCP socket and pseudo protocol in combination with custom binder handler. Currently I’m developening my own binding. I plan to use device discovery through Upnp and then there is a big question mark right now. Still work in progress but i want to stick with standard protocols and so on. The full architecture isn’t worked out yet.
Edit: The question mark refers to the form of communication and protocol.
