denon-rest-api

Summary

This application creates a REST API that can be used to send commands to a Denon AV receiver over a network connection. This was tested with my Denon AVR-E300, but should be compatible with other Denon network-attached receivers.

Running in Docker

The included Dockerfile will install the dependencies and run on an Ubuntu image. You must set the ADDRESS environment variable to the IP address of the receiver you want to connect to. Port 8000 is exposed by default.

Running from comamnd line

1. Navigate to the root of this project in the command line.
2. Install Node (http://nodejs.org) and execute npm install.
3. Run node . [ip address of receiver] [optional port] to launch the web server. Port 8000 is used by default.

Executing commands

Send GET requests to http://localhost:[port]/api/[command]

Examples

'http://localhost:8000/api/SIDVD'     //Sets Input to DVD   
'http://localhost:8000/api/SITUNER'   //Sets Input to TUNER   
'http://localhost:8000/api/PWON'      //turns PoWer ON   

Notes

• The full list of valid commands is available in the included protocol PDF from Denon.
• You may need to adjust settings on your receiver to allow remote network control of your device.
• This application communicates with the receiver via the factory-provided telnet API.
