Does anyone with a whole house audio setup know of any kind of walk through guide to help get setup?
Previously with X10, I was using powered speakers on appliance modules receiving audio through an unused telephone line from a Radio Shack mini amp and an HA server.
Now that I am on Indigo with Insteon on a Mac, I have purchased Airfoil and it looks like people use Airport Expresses for AirPlay? I would like to have speakers in different rooms, but not all on/receiving audio based on different variables and other factors. For example if the speaker is in a bedroom, if the person is sleeping then obviously don't play announcements over that speaker. If the time is past 11:30pm stop announcements for the entire house. If a movie is playing, don't do announcements in the movie room, etc...
My number 1 priority here is to get out Indigo announcements, and be able to switch on/off speakers via Airfoil/Airports. Second would be to be able to inject iTunes music into that mix, but possibly the audio only going to a specified speaker? Third would be to include Pandora audio source...I've seen the script but not ready for it yet.
So I guess these are probably some difficult specifications, so I would of course be willing to start simple, that being announcements to the whole house. What would be the hardware and software requirements and setup/configuration for this?
Thanks in advance!
