New Plugin for Yamaha AVRs

Pimatic plugin to monitor & control a Yamaha AV Receiver over a network connection.

Status of Implementation

The following features are provided:

• support for power switching, volume mute, volume control, input selection, and status display (main zone, only)

Additional features can be added easily and I am happy to do this on demand.

Device Configuration

As of pimatic 0.9 you can use the auto-discovery of the frontend to add devices easily. See also README for details.

@mwittig
Thanks a lot for all your efforts, especially since you’re using another avr

Thank you for this nice plugin. Until now pimatic communicated with my receiver with a shell-script with curl. But this plugin improves my solution
To control all the imputs of my N-R500 i added them to ./device-config-schema.coffee at line 92:

, “OPTICAL1”, “OPTICAL2”, “Spotify”, “SERVER”, “AirPlay”, “CD”, “COAXIAL1”, “COAXIAL2”, “LINE1”, “LINE2”, “LINE3”

@m1rk0
maybe you can create a pull request on git?
this way it will be possible to merge your changes into the master branch and make it available for all users. guess it makes sense, doesn’t it?

@leader21
yes, that makes sense
I am new to github, so hopefully i’ve done it correctly…

looks good at first sight, but as far as i am into coding you need to change the quotation marks into " (straight ones).
check the arrows to see the differences.

@mwittig pls correct me if i am wrong!

@m1rk0 @leader21 Thanks!

I have fixed the quotes already

Thanks.
I just noticed that this plugin is not working at the mobile frontend on my smartphone It is showing up only the name of the device, nothing else.

@m1rk0 Works for me. Tested with iPhone6 Safari and Chrome Desktop browser.

Please check the log for error messages.

Hi all, is it possible to set volume or input bx rules? @mwittig is it possible to show the actuall used input in pimatic?

Thanks for this nice plugin.

Setting the volume should already work using the dim action, e.g. dim Yamaha Master Volume to 50.
Regarding the input action I have created a ticket. https://github.com/mwittig/pimatic-yamaha-avr/issues/3

Thanks! What about reading the actually choiced input e.g. HDMI1 or AIRPLAY.

Thank you

Something like the following should work:

input of yamaha-avr-status is equal to "HDMI1"

That does not work. There ist noc status device. Hmmm

@p4co86 The device type is YamahaAvrPresenceSensor

ah ok, didn`t see the device in the list. now i have add it and it works. Thank you

just a last potential improvement,is it possible to change the actually choiced input e.g. HDMI2 to TV or HDMI3 to Game in the device settings in the presence device?

when i try to set the volume i get the following error:

error: Command -4751dB failed with return code 4

Thank you.
