Hi, Simon. 

I agree with @Nutul; this is a cool project.

I'm a bit perplexed by your mention of "potentiometers". Did you perhaps mean "rotary encoders"?

Whichever you meant, when I searched on 'Volumio Potentiometers II plugin", I got a hit on Rotary Encoder II Plugin which turns out to be a first-rate project with the best write-up I've seen in a long time. It takes advantage of an existing Raspberry Pi DToverlay for rotary encoders for much improved performance which I had not been aware of until now. It even uses a feature of the Pi ecosystem to add/remove the DToverlay on the fly. [A feature I'd noted in an issue about audio overlays a couple of years ago but never did anything with.]

This isn't the proper subforum for lengthy discussion of the use of encoders/potentiometers with moOde but I'll be interested to see what comes in your project. ATM, moOde offers the possibility of using a rotary encoder as a volume control (see the Audio Config screen in the webUI). AIUI the result exhibits some of the performance shortfalls described in the github repo I cited above. I don't have any rotary encoders on hand to experiment with but it seems like the DToverlay would help us just as it helped the repo author.

Regards,
Kent
