This binding allows to remotely control a Pioneer AV receiver equipped with an ethernet interface. It enables OpenHAB to switch ON/OFF the receiver, adjust the volume, set the input source and configure most other parameters.

Most common commands are supported directly, special commands can be added manually using the "advanced command" mechanism described below.

Binding configuration

Before configuring single items, the global device configuration needs to be set up in the openhab.cfg file.

 ################################# Pioneer AVR Binding ######################################  
 # Host of the first Pioneer device to control  
 pioneeravr:<Pioneer1>.host=192.168.2.140  
 
 # Port of the Pioneer device to control (optional, defaults to 23)  
 pioneeravr:<Pioneer1>.port=23

 # Switch for disabling the connection check (optional, defaults to 1)
 pioneeravr:<Pioneer1>.checkconn=1

The pioneeravr:Pioneer1.host value is the ip address of the Pioneer AV receiver.

The pioneeravr:Pioneer1.port value is TCP port address of the the receiver. Port value is an optional parameter.

The pioneeravr:Pioneer1.checkconn value controls wether the binding will check the TCP connection once every minute by polling the receivers power status. When the receiver is connected via a serial-to-ethernet converter, this polling was reported to wake up the receiver from standby mode. In most cases this option can be left away.

Example:

 pioneeravr:livingroom.host=192.168.2.140  
 pioneeravr:livingroom.port=23

Item Binding Configuration

In order to bind an item to the device, you need to provide configuration settings. The easiest way to do so is to add some binding information in your item file (in the folder configurations/items`). The syntax of the binding configuration strings accepted is the following:

 pioneeravr="<openHAB-command>:<device-id>:<device-command>[,<openHAB-command>:<device-id>:<device-command>][,...]"

where parts in brackets signify an optional information.

  • The openHAB-command corresponds OpenHAB command.
  • The device-id corresponds the deviceid that was introduced in openhab.cfg.
  • The device-command corresponds Pioneer AV receiver command. See complete list below.

Examples, how to configure your items:

 Switch  AV_Pwr { pioneeravr="INIT:livingroom:POWER_QUERY, OFF:livingroom:POWER_OFF, ON:livingroom:POWER_ON"}
 Switch  AV_Mute  { pioneeravr="INIT:livingroom:MUTE_QUERY, ON:livingroom:MUTE, OFF:livingroom:UNMUTE" }
 Dimmer  AV_Volume { pioneeravr="INIT:livingroom:VOLUME_QUERY, INCREASE:livingroom:VOLUME_UP, DECREASE:livingroom:VOLUME_DOWN, *:livingroom:VOLUME_SET" }

Note: The "INIT" action will be called once upon initialization of the binding. Its purpose is to query the current state of the receiver, so the item state represents the receiver state when the binding is running. Without that command, the initial values will be uninitialized until a corresponding command is performed to change the setting, or the receiver sends an update on his own.

Advanced commands

If you want to use commands that are not predefined by the binding you can add them manually using a shape # as a prefix.

Example:

 Switch  AV_AdvCmd { pioneeravr="INIT:livingroom:POWER_QUERY, ON:livingroom:#PO, OFF:livingroom:#PF" }

This will act as a power switch. Parameter may be added using the java format syntax, e.g.:

 Dimmer  AV_Volume { pioneeravr="*:livingroom:#%03dVL" }

This will set the volume like the predefined VOLUME_SET command does.

A list of all commands that are supported by the pioneer receiver can be found here: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Support/Home-Entertainment-Custom-Install/RS-232+&+IP+Codes

Troubleshooting

It has been observed that from time to time, the ip-interface of the receiver hangs up and won't accept connections any more or it stops returning results and updates. This leads to items not being updated any more. This behaviour seems to be related to use of other network features of the receiver, e.g. music streaming via Airplay. Currently there is no solution known to get rid of this other then to power cycle the receiver by temporary plugging out its power cord (going to standby is not sufficient).
