UPPORTED
Sunfire receivers and preamp processors include an RS-232 or Ethernet connection which is used to
connect to the OneHome system and provide full two-way communications, enabling reliable control as
well as providing feedback to the OneHome system when changes (such as the current source or volume
levels) occur at the receiver.

UNFIRE DEVICES SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING FEATURES
Basic Source and Volume Control: Select any available source and control volume with two-way
feedback. Changes made at the receiver (turning the volume control, changing source) are immediately
reflected in the OneHome interface.
Multiple zones: Supported devices often have a second (or third, ...) zone, which can be controlled as its
own zone from the OneHome interface.
Onboard Tuner: Supported devices often include a built-in AM/FM tuner, which can play music in the
main or auxiliary zone. The tuner can be controlled from the standard AM/FM tuner interface in the
OneHome system.
RS-232 or Ethernet Control: Sunfire receivers and preamp processors have both a RS-232 port and an
Ethernet port on their back panel which are compatible with HomeLogic for control.
