Not sure if the AVR will accept multiple connections to its control port, but expect it will because I can certainly still use the iOS app while Crestron is also connected.
Why do that though? Just add whatever custom string you need to the giant SIO within the module and add its driving signal to the args so you can fire it. That¡¯s what I do. You don¡¯t need to touch the S+ code at all.
