Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Controlling Logitech Harmony from Roon

In my current living room setup, I am using a Logitech Harmony remote control to control all my devices. This means that there are "Activities" like "Watch TV", "Play Games", and also "Listen to Music". Since I am lazy, I didn't want to use both the Harmony remote control as well as Roon to control my audio equipment...

Source Control

Roon offers an extension that is called "Source Control", which allows Roon to control external devices to a certain degree. Mainly, switching the input of such a controlled device and putting it into standby.

This extension exposes each of the "Activities" registered on the Harmony as its own Source Control extension. In my case, there are extensions for "Watching TV", "Play Games", and "Listen to Music". Each of those extensions can be bound to a specific output zone - in my case "Living Room". The result is exactly what I was looking for: if I am watching TV and press the play button in Roon, the TV is turned off, the AV receiver switches its input, and Roon starts to play. In addition, if I am using the Harmony remote control to turn off everything, Roon stops its playback.

Installation

  1. Install Node.js from https://nodejs.org.

    • On Windows, install from the above link.
    • On Mac OS, you can use homebrew to install Node.js.
    • On Linux, you can use your distribution's package manager, but make sure it installs a recent Node.js. Otherwise just install from the above link.

    The extension has been developed with Node v8.0.0. While it may work with older versions, it's not something that I've tested.

  2. Install Git from https://git-scm.com/downloads.

    • Following the instructions for the Operating System you are running.
  3. Download the Logitech Harmony extension.

  4. Extract the zip file in a local folder.

  5. Change directory to the extension in the local folder:

    cd <local_folder>/roon-extension-harmony

    Replace <local_folder> with the local folder path.

  6. Install the dependencies:

    npm install
  7. Run it!

    node .

    The extension should appear in Roon now. See Settings->Setup->Extensions and you should see it in the list.

Notes

  • Setups with more than one Roon Core on the network are not currently tested.
