Denon AVR X2300W control via API

[MantasJ]

Hello everyone,

Maybe someone here have succesfully integrated Denon AVR X2300W with logicmachine? I mean, there are couple of scripts out here in forum and one in the openrb website, but those scripts differ and there is no clear indication whether they work or not. I will have to integrate such functionality:

• ON
  
• OFF
  
• VOLUME ON
  
• VOLUME OFF
  
• VOLUME SET
  
• MUTE ON
  
• MUTE OFF
  
• SOURCE INPUT SELECTION
  

As I do not have the AVR at the moment I just can prepare the script for it and only then test it, but I will have not a lot of time. So, maybe someone who has succesfully integrated such AVR could share some code examples?

Thanks in advance!

Looks like newer models can be controlled via HTTP like this:
http://DENON_IP:8080/goform/formiPhoneAp...t.xml?PWON
I'm not sure if status response can be received this way, you might need to use Telnet instead of HTTP.

I got the post commands working as admin said above,
This also might help I did get feedback with this script, using xpat to parse XML I got it working but never completed it properly,
Even with it running in an resident script with 1 sec delay the feedback was to slow for me, the impatient so I ended up using telnet

Thank You guys!

I've managed to make control script with method admin posted and I've managed to make a status script from this example: https://openrb.com/example-use-lm2-as-tc...e-theater/ it is a bit slow, but it is more than fine for the client.
