Yamaha Networked Receivers (671,710,871,810,1010,2010,3010)

[Sendero]

Starting work on a driver that will support the following:
RX-V671, RX-A710, RX-V871, RX-A810, RX-A1010, RX-A2010 and RX-A3010

Have it doing basic control and switching on the 671. Working on getting more functionality in this weekend and then putting it up here for consumption. Figured I'd post here to give everyone a heads up.

I will be interested in this driver, but unfortunately not for one of these. The one I am interested in is the RX-V1067. It uses a similar protocol to the ones above.

I may have to get you to have a quick look at it and see of there is enough that is similar to create a universal driver for the Yamahas just like there is one for the Onkyo/Integra's.

Make a POST request to http://<ReceiverIP>/YamahaRemoteControl/ctrl with a post body of
<YAMAHA_AV cmd="GET"><System><Config>GetParam</Config></System></YAMAHA_AV>

and PM me the resulting XML. It's possible it will support that receiver as well, it just isn't on the list for US customers.

I'm torn between using the YNCA protocol (simpler) and the /YamahaRemoteControl/ctrl interface (more functionality and info exposed). I've currently been working on the /ctrl interface and straight HTTP calls but spend some time tonight playing with a PDL driver and seeing about pursuing that path. I think I'll avoid that though as a CML driver will allow me to dynaically create fields (helpful when some receivers support features and zones that others don't).

The Receiver in question is an AU model. I don't have access to it just yet so I can test it until its connected.

I will send the protocol to you, but looking at the one I got form you, they are both very similar (about time too).

A CML driver is definitely the way to go. There are so many drawbacks to PDL now for any device that is more than just plain basic.

Sorry for my lack of progress here. My receiver died and I'm still waiting on a replacement. So no updates yet. Should have it soon and will pick up again then.

Replacement should be here in time for Thanksgiving and I've got the weekend free to see if I can make progress on this...

[willplaice]

wondered if this happened ? looking at A2010 myself...

no :( Multiple things have conspired to keep me away from having time to work on home automation stuff. Probably be a bit before I can get back to this. Sorry for false alarm :(
