How to control the Soundsuit Hardware-Player using the Admin-Dashboard

Soundsuit's Hardware-Player can be easily managed via the Soundsuit Dashboard. Here you can find out how:

 

 

1. Make sure to have a clear hierarchy of locations and zones

• One “Location” represents for instance one store, one hotel, one gym, one office building.
• Within each location, you have one or multiple Music Zones.

2. Create the music object you want to play using the Hardware-Player

• Create a station that is an AI-generated stream, customizable with tags such as energy level, genres and target audience.
• Create a playlist consisting of individual songs that should be updated regularly.
• Crete a music schedule, which is a weekly plan of the stations or playlist you want to play at a certain day and time.

3. Attach the music object of your choice to the Zone where the Hardware-Player is placed.

Important reminder:

- Each hardware-player, upon delivery, was clearly identified by a 5 digit serial number. This serial number can be found on the bottom of hte Hardware-player on a white sticker.

- Each hardware-player was delivered to your location already paired with a defined zone. Example: the device 97BD8 is paired with the Zone "Hotel Lobby".

Now if you assign the music object (i.e. one playlist, one station or one schedule) of your choice to the zone where the hardware-player is placed, then this music object will play on this hardware-player.

Example:

 In the Zone "Hotel Lobby",



Where the Hardware-Player 97BD8 is placed, i allocate the music Station "Dîner chic".

(Important: please remember to give the permission on this zone to the station "Diner chic" be to played)

And the music station "Dîner chic" will be streamed on the hardware-player 97BD8.

4. All done.

You are ready. The music object of your choice is now streaming on the Hardware-Player you wanted.

You can repeat the process and assign different playlist/station/schedule to the different hardware-players you own and have placed in other zones.

Witht the Soundsuit Dashboard, you can also of course easily scale this exact setup to manage multiple locations, with multiple zones (and Hardware-Players) in each location.
