MOON Audio Control

Version: 1.41
# MOON Audio Control RTI Driver
Version: 1.41
MOON Audio Control is an RTI XP processor driver for controlling compatible MOON by Simaudio audio products from RTI remotes, touch panels, and control processors.
The driver provides two control methods:
- IP Control for MOON/MiND2 devices on the local network.
- RS-232 Control for compatible MOON products connected to a physical RTI serial port.
## What The Driver Does
With IP Control, the driver communicates directly with the MOON/MiND2 HTTP API on the device. No external bridge server is required. The user enters the MOON device IP address in Integration Designer, and the driver handles the control and feedback logic from the XP processor.
With RS-232 Control, the driver uses the documented MOON ASCII command set over a serial connection. This is intended for MOON products that expose the official serial control protocol.
## Main Features
- Power On and Standby control.
- Volume, volume up, volume down, mute on, mute off, and mute toggle.
- Play, pause, stop, next track, and previous track.
- Input/source selection from a list.
- Queue list feedback and queue item selection where supported by the device.
- Browse list feedback and browse item selection where supported by the device.
- Now playing feedback, including title, artist, album, current URI, cover artwork URL, duration, elapsed time, progress, codec, sample rate, bitrate, channel count, and MIME type where available.
- Source list, queue list, and browse list variables for RTI list widgets.
- Status feedback for power, mute, volume, selected input, transport state, play mode, and connection state.
- 120-minute trial mode.
- License support using the displayed XP processor License Request ID.
## Supported Use Cases
- A single MOON/MiND2 player or integrated amplifier controlled by IP.
- Multiple MOON source instances in one RTI project.
- RTI UI pages showing transport controls, volume, cover art, metadata, source lists, queue lists, and browse lists.
- RS-232 fallback for products that should be controlled through the documented serial command set.
## Important Notes
- IP Control uses port 80 on the configured MOON device.
- The driver does not store music service passwords.
- The driver is not a replacement for the full MiND app. It exposes practical RTI control and feedback surfaces that are suitable for custom control pages.

MOON Audio Control
MOON Audio Control is an RTI XP driver for compatible MOON by Simaudio products. It supports IP Control for MOON/MiND2 devices and RS-232 Control for products using the documented MOON ASCII serial protocol.
IP Control
Select IP Control and enter the MOON device IP address in IP Host. The driver uses the MiND2 HTTP API on port 80 for power standby, volume, mute, transport, input selection, source lists, queue and browse feedback, now playing metadata, cover artwork, duration, progress, and audio format feedback where the device exposes those values. No UPnP port, TCP 9761, TCP 50000, or TCP 50001 setting is required.
RS-232 Control
Select RS-232 and choose the physical RTI serial port. Use 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. RS-232 uses the documented MOON ASCII command set.
Licensing
The driver includes a 120-minute trial. A permanent license must be generated for the XP processor License Request ID shown by the driver. Accepted formats are MOON-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX and MOON.<payload>.<signature>.
Basic Setup
Add one MOON Source for each controlled endpoint. Configure Control Method, IP Host for IP Control, or RS-232 Port for RS-232. Leave polling enabled for normal installations.
Notes
Power Off for IP Control sends the same standby state used by the MiND app. The driver does not store streaming service passwords and is intended for RTI control and feedback pages, not as a full replacement for the MiND app.
## License Setup
The driver runs for 120 minutes without a license. After the trial expires, control is blocked until a valid license key is entered.
1. Load the driver on the XP processor.
2. Read the `MOON Driver / License Request ID` variable.
3. Buy a driverlicense on https://store.link-db.ch/product/mind2-moon-by-simaudio-rti-driver-one-time-license/
4. Enter the returned license in the `License Key` property.
5. Run `MOON Driver / Refresh License`, or reload the project.
The license is bound to the XP processor.
