- A music player supporting vanilla music discs and tracks added by other mods.

Devices
Red Station
The heart of your smart home. The speaker stores connected devices, commands, automations, and the music queue.
Smart Relay
A Smart Relay can be installed inside a compatible mechanism, allowing the speaker to control it wirelessly.
If the mechanism is broken, the installed relay drops as a separate item.
Supported vanilla mechanisms include:
- redstone lamps;
- doors, trapdoors, and fence gates;
- pistons;
- dispensers and droppers;
- powered rails;
- note blocks;
- bells;
- crafters.
Linking Module
Used to pair the speaker with Smart Relays and hubs. The pairing range is 16 blocks.
Smart Home Hub
Increases the maximum number of connected devices from 8 to 16. Each hub can be paired with only one speaker.
Chat Commands
Commands are entered in the regular in-game chat and must begin with Red.
Examples:
Red, turn on the lightsRed, turn off the kitchenRed, CatRed, play CatRed, pauseRed, resumeRed, nextRed, previousRed, random trackRed, enable repeatRed, add Cat to the queueRed, show the queueRed, what is playing
Messages beginning with Red are handled by the mod and are not sent to other players in public chat.
The command is handled by the nearest accessible speaker within 16 blocks.
Automations
Red Station can control connected devices without player input.
Available triggers include:
- sunrise;
- nightfall;
- rain starting;
- a thunderstorm starting;
- a player entering an 8-block radius;
- the speaker receiving a redstone signal.
Each automation can target a device group and turn it on, turn it off, or toggle it.
Music Player
Red Station can play music without inserting a physical music disc.
The player supports:
- searching by full or partial track name;
- music discs added by other mods;
- a queue of up to 16 tracks;
- pause and resume;
- previous and next track controls;
- repeat mode;
- shuffle mode;
- saving the current track and queue with the world.
Red ID and Multiplayer
When placed, a speaker is bound to the player who placed it through Red ID.
The owner can grant access to other players and assign roles:
- Owner — manages the speaker, access permissions, and removal;
- Administrator — configures the speaker and pairs devices;
- User — uses commands and the music player.
A Red ID can include up to 16 additional players. Server operators retain emergency access.
Quick Start
- Place a Red Station.
- Use a Smart Relay on a compatible mechanism.
- Use the Linking Module on that mechanism.
- Within 15 seconds, use the same module on the speaker.
- Open the speaker interface and assign the device a name and group.
- Create a command for that group.
- Enter a command in chat, such as
Red, turn on the lights.
To increase the connection limit, use the Linking Module on a hub and then on the speaker.
Use Shift with the Linking Module to reset a device pairing.
