Homebridge module for Onkyo AVRs (tested on TX-NR609)
Onkyo AVR module, works in principle. Ensure that the onkyo is controllable using for instance IOS apps like ORemote. Next step: Check what happens if the AVR is reset or is temporary not available.
- Install homebridge using: npm install -g homebridge
- Install this plugin using: npm install -g homebridge-onkyo-avr
- Update your configuration file. See the sample below.
Example accessory config (needs to be added to the homebridge config.json):
"accessories": [
{
"accessory": "OnkyoAVR",
"name": "My Onkyo",
"ip_address": "10.0.1.23",
"model" : "TX-NR609",
"poll_status_interval": "900",
"default_input": "sat"
}
]
default_input is optional. If it not supplied, the previous input will be persisted. If a valid option is supplied, a request to set the input to the specified source will be made when the unit is turned on. The valid options depend on the unit. As a rule of thumb try to use the values as they are printed on the remote.
Examples of values:
- VCR
- SAT
- DVD
