Open integration · HTTP on your LAN

One URL per command, no driver required

Air Amp answers plain HTTP GET on port 8000 — or 8443 over TLS. No cloud, no bridge, no vendor SDK. Any control system that can fire a URL can drive the speaker, which means a generic HTTP or TCP module rather than a certified driver.
