I want to add a device, a Linn Klimax DSM media server / preamp, to my database. I have read the instructions and have done the following:

1) Created a RoomieCodes.plist file (file won't upload, so I attached as text to this message - very basic file to get started...)

2) Sync'd the file to my iPad via DropBox

3) Added device via manual IP (appears to work, IP & port seem OK)

4) No commands are sent over the network

A few notes:

1) I can access the device directly via telnet, get it to accept and respond to commands

2) I run a packet sniffer and can see the comments from telnet

3) I run a packet sniffer and cannot see anything being sent from my iPad

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the format of one of the commands that I'm using to control a Majik DSM;

<string>ACTION Ds/Product 1 SetStandby "0"</string>

It's not a great deal different from yours but it definitely works.

I'm using port 23.
