We got some new overkill audio equipment, so we put some mqtt into it :D

Protocol

It has a proprietary network interface used by the Behringer control software. It was reverse engineered, the mappings can be found here: File:UNOFFICIAL X32 OSC REMOTE PROTOCOL (1).pdf.

We use this python library to interface with it.

There are some simplified commands like 'volume up' for easy use, and the possibility to directly bridge to the x32's protocol. The x32-protocol also uses paths, so you can just append the x32-path to the topics mumalab/audio/x32/set or mumalab/audio/x32/get to set or get arbitrary paths. You can send it pure json and get back json
