Multiple Zones #31
Comments
Hi @nitaybz, you should be able to control the volume with automations using the native HomeKit Speaker device available for Yamaha AVRs. I suppose this may not be available for all models though. I'll look into adding support for Zones & optionally adding a Speaker device for automation volume control. 👍 |
unfortunately I don't have a native HomeKit AVR.
That's super awesome! I would greatly appreciate it and I'm sure the entire Homebridge community will. Thanks🙏 |
I didn't know this either! I am so glad I decided to read through other issues LOL Thanks again for explaining in detail. This only works for audio the receiver is actually playing (like airplay, net radio, tuner, etc) it doesn't work with HDMI inputs, for example. Oh well. Thanks still LOL |
Could possibly solve this one with a Shortcut automation for now, using the "Get contents of URL" action with this URL: A shame there's still no way to directly control the volume of an AVR device in an automation. 😞 |
Created a shortcut - this will ask for the AVR IP Address & desired volume on import. You can then trigger this shortcut in an automation to set the volume. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/1e8b0433e975465780bfb44aa7f0a608 |
Yeah that's awesome. Thank you for telling me that URL. I already made a shortcut using that LOL but I appreciate you showing me anyway! Mine just set a volume. Yours is much cooler LOL you used the fancy URL encoding so you could change the IP address for any receiver or change the volume easily. With mine I had to edit the URL every time so yours is much better. |
Additional zones can now be enabled in https://github.com/ACDR/homebridge-yamaha-avr/releases/tag/v3.0.0-beta.8 (see release notes for config - or enable with Homebridge config UI) Volume "workaround" devices for each zone have been added in https://github.com/ACDR/homebridge-yamaha-avr/releases/tag/v3.0.0-beta.9 - these are also opt-in via similar config setting as zones, disabled by default. |
So I know there is a plugin out there that does it but your plugin is more maintained and well structured.
The dream plugin for Yamaha AVR for me will be to use your plugin on multiple zones and also have optional fan/bulb representing the Volume for automations.
Thanks and appreciate the work you've done so far🙏🏼
