node-red-contrib-yamaha-yxc

A node red module for controlling Yamaha MusicCast devices via yamaha-yxc-nodejs

Node Red details

This project contains one node which injects the YamahaYXC into incoming messages. The node takes any msg as an input. The output msg is enriched with the msg.yamaha object.

This node gives you the YamahaYXC object exposing the API in the msg object as msg.yamaha. You can use this node in the following nodes, e.g. in a function node. To power up your Yamaha device in the main zone, just call msg.yamaha.power("on", "main"). Be aware that yamaha-yxc-nodejs returns promises, so the full function would more look like this:

msg.yamaha.power("on", "main").then(() => { 
	msg.payload = "zone main is on"; 
	node.send(msg); 
}); 
return;

Example

A example flow here demonstrates the idea. It uses the node-red-contrib-avr-yamaha to power on the receiver, gets the yamaha-yxc-nodejs device, selects the 1st preset of the list and finally sets the volume to -50db, again using the avr node.
