My receiver is brand new and using the Musiccast app all the time, but canāt add it in Homey.
The receiver is added with the receiver icon.
And another feature I was wondering if was possible.
In Sonos, there is a card where you can write your own text and the speaker will output that with an AI like voice. Is it possible to do the same with this?
Is it Homey that is making that voice as a sound file and sends it to Sonos maybe?
What happens when yut try to add the receiver as MusicCast device?
Not found? Is it turned on?
Have you tried a second time. Sometimes the network check doesnāt see all devices in the short interval.
If itās not found, try to set the IP address in manuel pair view.
And TTS is not possible with Yamaha. That needs a devie with online TTS transcription like Chromecastor Alexa. I think Sonos is using some kind ot TTS service in the background.
I think it is possible. Yamaha needs to be able to play a mp3 link which contains the tts voice message. I know my receiver can do that, just not with this Yamaha app.
I discovered one thingy with the morning routine flow:
when I set the volume with a variable, and the value is wrong, the volume gets set to 100% without any remorse.
So, me and the neighbors woke up real quick!
What happened:
I did not pay attention and entered volume level 30 instead of 0.30 as variable value.
I think itās more convenient to let the app set the volume to zero, or just donāt change it, when a out-of-limits value got set?
hehe, with this receiver you were lucky that the walls are still standing
The volume card is the standard Homey card.
Did you assign a token/variable here?
I think all I can do is to check for a value > 1 and throw an error.
Edit: I checked in debugger. Homey just transfers 1 to the app if you are inserting a higher value as token. So I canāt reallly check it. It is like it is
Thanks, Ronny.
Yeah, this thing is mf LOUD hehe.
OK, so I think it might be a better idea to let it start up with itās programmed power-on volume level, instead of using flowcards with values from variables. Letās stick to lights with that approach
You can use tokens, but you have to use the Homey range from 0 to 1 (for 0ā¦100%).
The app converts this value internally to your receiver volume range (can be different for every receiver).
I use standard Homey capabilities to be compatible to other devices. I tjought about adding a second volume flow card for the ārealā value but I had rejected that because I would be irritating.
My RX-V6a has been working perfectly with your app up until about 17 hours ago.
I noticed that Homey had a software update this night, so I presume this might have something to do with it?
The IP-adress is still correct, and I havenāt changed anything in my settings.
However, it shows the red warning sign and canāt connect, telling me to check the deviceās IP settings in the settings.
Is this a familiar problem and does it indeed have something to do with the recent update by Homey?
Hi Ronny, I tried to connect my Yamaha system, CRX-N560, the app recognizes my device, but ends in error āConnection not possible. Check IP configuration in device settings.ā I verified the IP address, but that looks ok. If I use the Yamaha app I can fully control the device.
Do you have advise what I can do to make this work? Thanks
Robert
which device type did you add? MusicCast or AV receiver? Based on the model details, it doesnāt support MusicCast, so teh AV receiver device should work.
Can you try again with AV receiver and please send a diagnostic report if thatās still not working.
