new plugin: altDenon - for Denon AVR

I was not fully satisfied with the current Denon AVR plugin so I started a simplier, smaller version and optimized to not keep the telnet connection opened between commands as these AVR only support one conccurent connection. I am looking for testers : I have tested it on my AVR4311 and X3400H
Source code , screen shots and Documentation can be found here : [url=https://github.com/amg0/Denon]https://github.com/amg0/Denon[/url]

The User Interface offers few function but there is a UPNP action ( [b]sendCmd/b ) which pretty much allows you to send whatever command you want to it.

[ul][li]if you use the other plugin , you may have to disable it temporarly while you test it because of this single connection limitation.[/li]
[li]if you use ALTUI, you will need the latest version on GitHub - amg0/ALTUI: Enhancement Interface for VERA home automation system to get the proper display support for it.[/li]
[li]UI7 only[/li][/ul]

feel free to send feedbacks / tests results …

Versions

[ul][li]0.4 : initial public release[/li]
[li]0.61 : various improvement, initial store release[/li][/ul]

I have x4400h and will test as soon as I get a chance. Is it difficult to add volume selection ? Thanks for your efforts btw!

I have the plugin running and works great. Is there a way to change volume to 50% for example? The device also does not show up as a selectable trigger device

See the MV commands page 9 of https://usa.denon.com/us/product/hometheater/receivers/avr3808ci?docname=AVR-3808CISerialProtocol_Ver520a.pdf

The sendCmd(“MV80”) upnp action ( in a scene for instance ) would set volume.
Since sendCmd supports chained command , sendCmd(“SIBD;MV80”) would for instance select the blue ray disk source and set volume

Source selection is missing media player which is my main input selection

I added some in the GitHub - amg0/Denon: ALT Denon plugin for VERA version
let me know if it covers your need
if not, what is the exact name of the source ?

Thanks, I believe that source can be renamed but on the remote are the following source 7 input selections:

is the new version working ? otherwise can you experiment the SendCmd(“SIxxx”) action until you determine which xx is valid for your AVR ?
you can see a list here , there are several version of that file, it depends on your AVR

Would it be possible to list and display current input source:
SI? : Request command for now playing input source >> Return RESPONSE ?SI***?

SendCmd(“SI?”) works and you get the result in the LastResult variable

Yes do you think of a better name maybe ?

MPlayer is fine, thanks

Will there be more modifications or additions and a production release?

A release probably. More changes, it will depend. I want to keep it straight and simple to void duplicating the bloat of the other Denon plugin…

publishing v0.61 in the store. should be available pretty soon

Nice work, should I delete the manual file I have and install this version or just keep the testing files that I have as they are the same (but may not get future updates posted?)

it is possible that if you want the auto update feature of vera you should just delete your devices ( not removing the file ).
then go to install App and select that pluing and let it install by vera.

otherwise, you can keep it like that and you do not have to delete any file, when you request the install from vera store it will automatically override all files. I anyhow tend to keep github version more recent
