New Pioneer Receiver Plugin

[shward1]

[quote=“K-Rock, post:20, topic:182125”]I need a little assistance on adding the app. I uploaded the files and went to create device, but I’m not sure what needs to be entered in that form.

Thanks

See attached picture.

Put whatever you like in the Description field and enter ‘D_PioneerAV1.xml’ in the Upnp Device Filename field, then click Create device.

Some additional setup info -

Once the device is created open it and go to the Advanced tab and enter the IP address for the receiver (see Advanced.jpg). The port number will get automatically added so DO NOT append it to the IP address when you enter it.

After entering the IP address remember to hit RELOAD a couple of time so everything initializes.

I just reviewed my code and it doesn’t matter if you do or do not include the port number when you enter the IP address the first time

Correct

I’ve read a number of articles/posts on the web indicating the VSX-1022-K uses port 822, not port 23.

You might try manually changing the port number to see what happens. You can do this by simply changing the value on either the Settings or the Advanced tabs.

I also see mention of port 8102.

I don’t understand the luup code that well yet. But some suggestions/questions:

Is it possible to use the device description in these error message string instead of ‘yourplugin’?

        if (ip == nil) or (#ip == 0) then
	luup.task("ip address not entered!", 2, "yourplugin", -1)
	luup.log("yourplugin: ip address not set.")
	return false
end

---

As for port number I changed it to 8102 and the receiver shows up as On and I can change some of the inputs. The device names didn’t update to the custom names; Volume/Mute doesn’t work and I haven’t fully test what does and doesn’t work. The status tab doesn’t show anything.

However, when I do turn off my receiver, Vera is able to pickup on it getting turned off and now I can run a scene. If night and receiver turns off, turn on lights on dim and then turn them off in 5 minutes… Should be in bed by that time…

This is mainly what I wanted, but more features, then the more actions.

Thanks for the additional screenshots to setup.

K-Rock, does your receiver have a network standby option, if so ensure it is set correctly.

To get all the info (custom names, status tab data, etc…) the first time be sure to do a couple of reloads from the Vera UI when the receiver is turned on.

I have the VSX-1020 that doesn’t have the network standby feature.

Thanks for following up, I tried both ports without success. Looking deeper on the official pioneer ios app, it has the port number as 8102.

The app from the OP of this thread works, however I’m not sure how to have a scene trigger a input selection. For example I’d like the pioneer receiver to switch to DVR/BDR when my ‘Turn Media Devices On’ scene is selected. Do you know of a way to have those buttons accessible while setting up a scene?

Can this plugin be used in a scene to change inputs and volume? It doesn’t appear so in the GUI, can this be done through code? What functions are available?

Answered my own question. I used the code below to set a scene that sets input to my DVR:

luup.call_action(“urn:shward1-com:serviceId:PioneerNavigation1”,“inDVRBDR”, { },56)

You can also do this via the Advanced option in the scene setup.

I’m guessing this plugin will not work with the pioneer SC-63 Elite? I know Pioneer made two separate apps for the SC and VSX series.

[quote=“skydivinpilot, post:13, topic:182125”]ebolam, Thank you for taking the time to make this plugin. I have it communicating with my VSX-1022-K, however the volume controls do not work which is ok for me. When I open it up I am able to change the inputs, however how can I make a scene select the receiver inputs? It appears the only options I can trigger on this plugin for a scene is on/off and volume control. Thanks!

The version I attached a few messages above allows what your looking for.[/quote]

Where can we download the files of your modified version?

[cgocgo]

I tried this plugin today with my VeraLite using UI7 and a VSX-923. It is clear that the plugin doesn’t work flawless with this combination. At best I got the input selection to work. On/off and volume never worked for me. Anyone who tried this plugin on UI7?

/CO

[mchiasson]

I just got a VeraLite a few days ago and have been trying to tie my VSX-1120 to it. ??? Unfortunately, I have been running into similar problems as you. I can’t get mine to even respond to the on/off command. I am running UI7 and made sure the wake on LAN function is set to Yes. I know the receiver works as I can control it via the Pioneer app on my phone.

In the instructions, it says to upload the two XML files. Are those the same files that you get if you install the when you are logged into the unit?

Thanks.

So this is a newb question and only for personal preference. Is there a way to get the created device to show up in the “AV Gear” tab in UI5. Right now it just shows up in “Other”

[copekyle]

So this plugin is broke in UI7… 7.0.7 It doesn’t respond at all and it hangs on the start up of the veralite.

I installed the plug-in from the Apps store (Install Apps) on a Vera-Lite with UI7 (1.7.649).
The plug-in appears to function correctly.

• Unit turns on/off
• Volume slider works
• Can select inputs - Sat/CBL, IRADIO, DVD, PC, Pandora

The -Volume and +Volume buttons do not work. I get an error “no implementation”.
The bigger problem is the inability to navigate up and down and select an option. Once I get to Pandora or PC, I need to be able to select (resume for example), navigate up/down through stations (or playlists) and select an option.

Looking and searching, I see this is where I was back in about 2013 with UI5 - hopefully there’s a solution now.

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone figured out how to switch the HDZone inputs using the plugin?
