EventGhost plugin to control Yamaha RX-V network receivers

Yamaha Network Receivers

About

This is a plugin for EventGhost which allows you to control your Yamaha AV Receivers over the internet (local network). It should work with most/all Yamaha RX-Vxxx models which contain either an ethernet connection or a wireless connection. The computer running EventGhost should be on the same local network, or you will need to use port forwarding.

Tested Models

RX-V867 [working]
RX-V473 [working]
RX-V775 [working]

Supported Models (Incomplete)

Typically, any Yamaha RX-Vxxx models are supported. Here is an incomplete list of (possibly) supported models.

RX-V867, RX-V1067, RX-V2067

RX-V671, RX-V871

RX-V473, RX-V573, RX-V673, RX-V773

yamaha-network-receivers's Issues

Typo in power_off

In yamaha.py

def power_off(self, zone=-1):
    zone_put_xml(sef, zone, '<Power_Control><Power>Off</Power></Power_Control>')

There should be self as the first argument of zone_put_xml()

Oh, and I didn't check all options yet (only basic things like get/set volume and change source) but the plugin seems to work with my RX-V481. But power_off() doesn't work, only power_standby().

Zone B Support

I have the RX-V573 and it supports Zone A/B. The plugin, however, identifies Zone 1, 2, 3, and 4. None of these control the Zone B on my receiver. Can this be added?

Look into speed issues with Next / Previous radio preset

Could possibly fix it by caching get_radio_preset_count() value.

Cannot connect to Yamaha rx-v673 receiver

Hi,

I installed this driver in Event Ghost, but when I try and connect either by model number or by physical IP, i just get a red error message in event ghost saying it could not find yamaha receiver.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Dale

Use the built in Up / Down for volume control

This can be found in YNC.zip and it will definitely be faster than checking for the volume first. Note that it can only work in increments of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 5.0.

Cursor Action throws an error on RX-V481D

Hi
When I try to add a cursor action instead of (I presume) a dialogue popup the following appears in the log:

Traceback (most recent call last) (1722):
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\eg\Classes\TaskletDialog.py", line 59, in ProcessingTask
    self.Configure(*args, **kwargs)

    path.append(parent.childs.index(item))
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'childs'

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Create Next / Previous Source Input functions

There is already code that is supposed to do this, but i dont think it works. If anything you can create a list of sources in the globals.py and check the current index and then change to next index.

Should probably have the ability to wrap when user gets to the beginning or end.

Any zone based configurable actions should use globals.AVAILABLE_ZONES

Example:

zones = globals.ALL_ZONES_PLUS_ACTIVE

becomes

zones = globals.AVAILABLE_ZONES + [ 'Active Zone' ] if len(globals.AVAILABLE_ZONES) > 0 else globals.ALL_ZONES_PLUS_ACTIVE

Figure out how to resize the action config window or add a scrollbar

Some of the actions, and even the plugin config itself are quite large and would benefit from a larger space to work with, or at the very least a scrollbar instead of forcing the user to resize manually.

Add configurable action for sleeping

Values are like 30min, 60min, etc. Check the YNC.zip for more details on how to set this. The current action does not work because it tries to just turn it "On" and "Off".
