This page is dedicated to controllers for the Amstrad DRX595 Sky HD box. These controllers are primarily used with home automation units such as Crestron, Control4 or AMX. They connect to the 10 pin mini-din I/O port on the rear panel of the DRX595. If you are looking for a controller for a Sky, Sky+ or Sky+HD box please see our range of controllers that connect to the RF2 port.
The protocol documentation is in the documentation section of this website.
A Crestron driver is available from our software downloads page. A comprehensive driver for Control4 is available from Extra Vegetables.

Single output
This controller is capable of controlling one SkyHD (DRX595) box via a 8N1 RS232 connection (baud rate is configurable).
Power is drawn from the SkyHD box connected to the controller via the same I/O port connection (10 pin mini-din) used to inject the controller signal.
The protocol is identical to our RF2 controllers.
If/when Sky add 'Gnome' feedback support, this controller will support passing that through.
