EventGhost / Multiple EventGhosts and MPs possible?
« on: April 16, 2012, 01:47:04 PM »
Just started playing with VC, really cool! I'm hoping to be able to voice enable my whole home automation set-up. I have one server controlling all lighting, alarms, curtains, shades etc, one media server, a WHS server and a MediaPortal setup with a tv-server and four MediaPortal clients. All music is handled by iTunes on three different PCs. All machines run EventGhost. Everything is controlled by WiFi by the iRule app running on a bunch of iPads and iPhones.
After a first quick look, it seems VC would fit perfectly into my setup. My plan is to have one VC machine with multiple microphones around the house controlling everything. However, it seems VC can only communicate with one EG and one MP instance, is that correct? How would I be able to set up a multi-MP, multi-EG environment? One option would be to let VC send all commands to one EG machine and let that one route/relay to right machine depending on payload. But that would prevent me using the MP commands in VC. Is there another option?
For microphones, I have a professional boardroom video conference mike that I will put in the main theatre. I'll also give Pocket Audio a try even though I have read there are some issues.
Looking forward to a lot of fun with this and hopefully being able to contribute to the forum!
