Vivaldi Multiroom Giove

How to integrate Vivaldi Giove CA20/21 and Giove FreeNET multiroom systems with the ILEVIA server: guided procedures in ilevia Manager and components created for each zone.

The Vivaldi Giove multiroom systems distribute audio across multiple areas of the home. ilevia Manager integrates them with two guided procedures, which create all the components for each zone: power on, mute, source, volume, tone, radio, and track information. For the overall overview, see Multimedia devices.

Commands are handled by the server logic: install the Logic module and, after loading the project, wait a couple of minutes for it to start.
