Activities

Activities are a grouping of one or more devices (physical or logical) to perform a usable task inside a specific room. Activities are comprised of:

Potential instruction on source selection
The type of media (AudioVideo or audio only…)
Cascading sources (if more than one device needs to change inputs)
A MediaPlayer if it cannot be interferred from the list of participating devices
A list of participating devices

Here is an extract of the system’s configuration file that describes participating elements and then the activity definitions.
