Abstract
An example implementation involves a first playback device maintaining a list of MAC addresses. While one or more components of the first playback device are disabled, the first playback device may receive a data packet that comprises a payload associated with a MAC address. The MAC address may correspond to a network interface of a second playback device. The first playback device may identify the MAC address in the list of MAC addresses, and based on identifying the MAC address in the list of MAC addresses, enable at least one of the one or more components of the first playback device.
Claims20
A first playback device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions encoded therein, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first playback device to perform a method comprising:
- maintaining a list of MAC addresses;
- while one or more components of the first playback device are disabled, receiving a data packet that comprises a payload associated with a MAC address, wherein the MAC address corresponds to a network interface of a second playback device;
- identifying the MAC address in the list of MAC addresses;
- and
- based on identifying the MAC address in the list of MAC addresses, enabling at least one of the one or more components of the first playback device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by a first playback device to perform functions comprising:
- maintaining a list of MAC addresses;
- while one or more components of the first playback device are disabled, receiving a data packet that comprises a payload associated with a MAC address, wherein the MAC address corresponds to a network interface of a second playback device;
- identifying the MAC address in the list of MAC addresses;
- and
- based on identifying the MAC address in the list of MAC addresses, enabling at least one of the one or more components of the first playback device.
A method comprising:
- maintaining, via a first playback device, a list of MAC addresses;
- while one or more components of the first playback device are disabled, receiving, via the first playback device, a data packet that comprises a payload associated with a MAC address, wherein the MAC address corresponds to a network interface of a second playback device;
- identifying, via the first playback device, the MAC address in the list of MAC addresses;
- and
- based on identifying the MAC address in the list of MAC addresses, enabling, via the first playback device at least one of the one or more components of the first playback device.
