v0.3.5 — Sound Mode select entities

Control your AVR's surround mode from Home Assistant

Two new select entities to switch the receiver's sound mode directly from HA, via telnet (MS<mode>) -- the write-side companion to the read-only sensor.denon_sound_mode added in v0.3.3.

New entities

Entity	Options	Notes
select.denon_sound_mode_quick	Movie / Music / Game / Pure Direct	The four common quick-select modes
select.denon_sound_mode	Auto, Standard, Direct, Stereo, Dolby Digital, DTS Surround, Mch Stereo, Virtual, Matrix, Rock Arena, Jazz Club, Mono Movie, Video Game, Left, Right	Full Denon IP protocol mode set. Hidden by default -- enable it in the entity settings if you want direct access to the less common modes

Both read their current state from the same sound_mode polling already used by the existing sensor.

About mode availability

Which modes are actually selectable depends on the current input's format -- the AVR silently ignores a mode it doesn't support for the current source, the same way the front-panel/remote control behaves. Content-driven readouts like "Dolby Atmos" or "DTS:X" (what the AVR is decoding, not something you select) won't show as a selected option -- that's expected, not a bug.

As with other write operations in this integration, changing the mode while every zone is powered off now raises a visible error instead of failing silently (consistent with the v0.3.4 fix).

Upgrade

• HACS users: update -> v0.3.5 -> restart Home Assistant.
• Manual users: replace custom_components/denon_advanced_audio/ files and restart.
