# AmpliPi Binding
This binding supports the multi room audio system [AmpliPi](http://www.amplipi.com/) from [MicroNova](http://www.micro-nova.com/).
## Supported Things
The AmpliPi itself is modeled as a Bridge of type `controller`.
Every available zone as well as group is managed as an individual Thing of type `zone` resp. `group`.
## Discovery
Once the AmpliPi announces itself through mDNS (still a pending feature), it will be automatically discovered on the network.
As soon as the AmpliPi is online, its zones and groups are automatically retrieved and added as Things to the Inbox.
## Thing Configuration
The `controller` Bridge has two configuration parameters:
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------------|----------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| hostname | yes | The hostname or IP address of the AmpliPi on the network |
| refreshInterval | no | The time to wait between two polling requests for receiving state updates. Defaults to 10 seconds. |
Both the `zone` and `group` Things only require a single configuration parameter `id`, which corresponds to their id on the AmpliPi.
## Channels
These are the channels of the `controller` Bridge:
| Channel | Type | Description |
|----------|--------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| preset | Number | Allows setting a pre-configured preset. The available options are dynamically read from the AmpliPi. |
| input1 | String | The selected input of source 1 |
| input2 | String | The selected input of source 2 |
| input3 | String | The selected input of source 3 |
| input4 | String | The selected input of source 4 |
The `zone` and `group` Things have the following channels:
| Channel | Type | Description |
|----------|--------|----------------------------------------------------|
| volume | Dimmer | The volume of the zone/group |
| mute | Switch | Mutes the zone/group |
| source | Number | The source (1-4) that this zone/group is playing |
