[APP][PRO] Yamaha AV & MusicCast Receiver

Hi @Timmmeeeeh
Input should be updated on polling. Are the other values updated line onoff or volume when changing them on your Yamaha?

Can you change the state on your receiver, wait a poll interval, then send me a diagnostic report, please. Perhaps there is something wrong in processing the revceiver data so the app doesnā€™t get to the point where the input is read from receiver state.
Thanks.

Hi @RonnyW!

First of al, thank you for making this great app!
Second, I think there is a minor bug in it. Today i tried to change the destination IP adress of the reciever in Homey, cause iā€™ve changed the adress of the reciever as well.
But, then i got a fault popping up on screen in a red box.

Cannot find module ā€˜ā€¦/ā€¦/lib/yamaha-nodejsā€™ Require stack: - /app/drivers/avreceiver/device.js - /node_modules/@athombv/homey-apps-sdk-v3/lib/Util.js - /node_modules/@athombv/homey-apps-sdk-v3/lib/Device.js - /node_modules/@athombv/homey-apps-sdk-v3/homey.js - /node_modules/@athombv/homey-apps-sdk-v3/index.js

I solved my problem by deleting the device in Homey and then added it again, with the new IP adress.
Maybe this information is useful for you.

Greetings!

edit: my Homey pro 2023 is on firmware version 10.0.0

Hi,
thanks for sharing the issue.
It looks I forgot to adapt the repair view after some central code changes. Iā€™ll update the app to avoid this for all other users. I hope it was not too much work to adjust the flows.

Ronny

No problem, Iā€™m happy I helped you out!

Hi @RonnyW

Sorry to bother you again, but iā€™m having a problem with one of the ā€˜IFā€™ cards (input changed).
I donā€™t know if this is because of my older reciever (HTR-4065), me doing something wrongā€¦ orā€¦

When I switch to another input (with the remote or the homey app) the information of the current input appears to be polled good (can see it on the device overview page).
I can use the input in a logic card, that works fine.
But for some reason the ā€œif input changedā€ card is never triggered.

Kind regards,
Koen

No problem. Just send me all issues. This way the app is getting better and more stable :wink:
I try to investigate tomorrow.

You are using the ā€œAV Receiverā€ device, right?

Yes I am, thanks!

Hi!

Thanx for the app.

Just a question : would it be somehow possible to set the Alarm Clock Time/preset and enable and/or disable the alarm on the MusicCast Clock speakers please ??

Iā€™m thinking about to connect my ISX-18D speakers with my (icloud) calendar and set an alarm according to my events/appointments the next day. So every y a different time my alarm clock goes off or at the set alarm preset time is least enabled or disabled.

Thank you.

New test version 1.0.4:

  • Fixed ā€œinput changedā€ trigger for AV Receiver device
    This triggger was using the wrong capability and got never triggered. This is fixed in the app.
    If you are already using this trigger in your flows, and use the export token of this trigger card, please exchange it with the new token.

@Koentjes Thanks for reporting the issue :+1:
You can already try the test version. The live version is waiting for a review by Athom.

The API offers the possibility:
Thatā€™s an example message where you can see possible values:

grafik
And that is only an example without all possible fields.

I will check whatā€™s possible, especially which settings can be set independent.
Based on this I will decide if there can be only one flow action with all settings (would be really confusing) or I itā€™s possible to split up into single cards line:

  • set date/time/days
  • set on/off
  • set resume/preset/preset type
  • set volume/fade/interval
    -ā€¦

Hey @RonnyW .
Since we now have the speaker button in the app, the Yamaha musiccast speakers are not listed in that list. Google home, spotify and chromecasts are included. It seems that Homey does not recognize it as a speaker. Is this something you will add or should we ask athom?
Kind regards.

The receiver has device class ā€œamplifierā€. Iā€™ll ask Athom if they can add this type to their speaker list.

Hi! What have you done that works for you? To me it still doesnā€™t show my wxc50 as a speaker.

The last comment was for the ā€œinput changedā€ trigger.
If you mean the missing Yamaha device in speaker view, please wait. Athom is checking how to deal with other devices like amplifier or tv.

Hi

I have several musiccast products at home and i would like to link them together as you can do in the Musiccast app.
I havent manage to get it to work in homey yet.
Do you have an Excample how i should do an advance flow to get it to work?
Is it possible to link more then 2 speakers together?

Hi,

here is a small example.

Take the ā€˜serverā€™ device thatā€™s streaming and assings a speacker to the group in this flow card.

Thank you for very fast answer and yes i think i get that to work. I will try to see if i can connect more speakers also.

Hi this app has been awesome for my 3 receivers. Thank you very much for your efforts. I just added another receiver the RX-V6A, The main zone adds fine but when adding the zone 2 it is adding a zone from one of the other receivers that has already been added. When I delete the new zone 2 and try and re add it might add the additional zone from any 3 other receivers (already added) but not form the RX-V6A.
This might be coincidental but this past weekend we lost power 2 times and my additional zones reconfigured to a deferent zone for a main receiver ie. Worshop switched to Shower. Has anyone experienced this and is there a way to manually reconfigure Zone 2 to the main zone?
Thank you!
