A small box that plugs into your controller's serial port and gives every phone in the house a simple control app. No subscription, no cloud, no new wiring.
Russound's TCH1 iPhone bridge stopped working with iOS 7. The MyRussound app has been removed from the app stores, and Russound's current app supports its newer MCA and MBX systems. CAV6.6, CAM6.6, CAA66 and CAS44 aren't on its list.
The amplifiers, keypads and speakers in these homes still work fine. They just lost their phone control.
See which rooms are on, what they're playing and how loud, then turn any zone on or off with one tap.
Call your inputs Sonos, Apple TV or Turntable instead of Source 1 and Source 2.
A slider plus one-tap presets you choose, like 25, 50 and 75 percent.
Turn the whole house on to the same source and volume for a party, or everything off at bedtime.
Change something on a wall keypad and the app catches up on its own.
Works in the browser on iPhone and Android. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.
Under the hood it speaks Russound's RNET protocol at 19200 baud, the same messages your keypads use:

| CAM6.6 | 6 × 6 | In development |
| CAA66 | 6 × 6 | In development |
| CAS44 | 4 × 4 | In development |
You put these systems in, and you get the call when the app stops working. Give those clients a fix without replacing the system.

No. The names you set in the app are for the app. Keypad names stay as they were programmed into the controller.
No. You buy the box once.
No. Keypads keep working as before, and the app stays in step with them.
