Dayton Audio Controller Plugin for Indigo

Control your DAX66 6-Source/6-Zone Distributed Audio System from Indigo Home Automation.

Version 2025.4.2

This plugin allows Indigo to control the DAX66 distributed audio system from Dayton Audio. Thanks to a robust protocol, this plugin is able to both read and set nearly every aspect of the receiver such as zone power, volume, treble, bass, and more.

Features

  • Multi-Zone Control - Control up to 18 zones across master/slave receivers
  • Zone Power - Turn individual zones on/off or all zones at once
  • Volume Control - Set volume levels with dimmer-style controls (brightness = volume)
  • Source Selection - Switch between up to 6 audio sources per zone
  • Mute Control - Mute/unmute individual zones or all zones at once
  • Bass & Treble - Adjust bass and treble levels for each zone
  • Balance Control - Set audio balance for each zone
  • Status Polling - Automatic status updates from the receiver
  • Dimmer Device Support - Zone devices work as dimmers for native Indigo volume control

Requirements

  • Indigo 2025.1 or later
  • Python 3.10+ (included with Indigo)
  • Serial connection to Dayton Audio DAX66 receiver
