[ST Edge] Onkyo/Pioneer AV Receivers

You can add a command to the edge drive for search The device in the network? And check its status. I ask why often, when the onkyo is turned on via the cec command of the TV, the status of the Onkyo device is not updated to ON. Only if there power on with remote control, Status updates correctly

Since I can’t find a solution to the status alignment problems, I decided to delete the device created onkyo, and then the drive. To my amazement even today, every time I search for a new device, my onkyo amplifier reappears, despite not even having the drive edge installed. how is it possible?
In the settings I don’t see an edge drive linked to this device, but then where does it come from?

I haven’t had time recently to look at this, and mine continues to function properly so I can’t replicate what you’re seeing. If you have CLI logs from when you’re toggling power with CEC then I can take a look. Without logs, my best guess is that your unit isn’t sending a report in those circumstances.

Refreshing the device (swiping down) does this.

Thanks for the reply, sorry but I don’t know what CLI logs are.
When the synchronization of the state is wrong, even scrolling to update does not work. It only works by trying to turn it on again.
Now the weirdest thing is that even if I deleted the device and drive edge, the onkyo keeps appearing and I don’t know where it came from.

I have installed the driver and have scanned for new devices, but it never finds my receiver. Is there a trick or something I need to do?

I don’t remember there being any settings on the AVR that need to be changed to enable IP control. The AVR needs to be on the same network as your ST hub, and I’d recommend having it turned on in case it fails to respond while off. If none of that helps, try running scan nearby while you have logcat running in the CLI.

I got it to show up! I had previously tried with it off and on and it didn’t recognize it. I even unplugged and plugged its power back in. However, this time, I unplugged it for 30 seconds or so, plugged it back in and then did a scan–picked it up immediately.

Thanks for your help.

This is genious stuff thank you! I’ve been trying to do that for years but never had time to get a proper driver working. I have a Onkyo rz730. I can now turn on the radio on zone 2 by 2-clicking on light switch and change the volume by 3-clicking. I used to do it via a Logitech Harmony action but if someone was watching tv in zone 1 it could mess everything up. Now it is faster and flawless. Thanks again!

One question @philh30, I’ve been trying to send multiple volume up commands in one action like this: ZVLUP1,ZVLUP1,ZVLUP1 but it only takes the first one. Is it because they come in too fast or because you filter duplicate commands? In the first case, would there be a way to inject some delay in a command sequence?
Thanks again for the driver it is awesome.

The driver isn’t filtering the commands, so it must be the AVR treating the multiples as a single action. It could be that if you put enough of them in a row it’ll do multiple steps, like it’s a held button condition. I’ll look into adding a delay code in though.

What are we supposed to see?
I clicked the channel invitation link . There was an accept button, clicked that. Now all i get is a near empty screen with Terms i could read. I see no download, no install option, nothing.

Do you have a hub? The page that shows a link to the terms should list your hub(s) at the bottom of the page, with buttons to enroll and see available drivers.

A hub? No. All my stuff is on the same wifi. No special ST hub.

A SmartThings Hub is required to run Edge drivers.

Hi @philh30, thanks for this work. Any plans to support 3-zones configuration? Some Onkyo models allow such setup. Also volume control for zone 2 is not working for me. Wanted to check if it’s known issue before I start debugging it. Thanks again!

Hi @philh30 and thanks for the driver.
I have a Onkyo TX-NR616 receiver which is recognized by your driver, but there is a couple of problems: I can only turn my receiver off but it won´t turn on via app and power state of the receiver is always showing that the device is on (even if turn it off via app). Is there any way to fix at least the powering on function?
Volume, source selection, muting etc works fine.

Search your receiver’s settings for “Network Standby”. Turn that on.

Sorry for my ignorance, I haven´t even noticed that option before, so this simple little thing fixed both of my problems :slightly_smiling_face: Once again, thanks for your awesome driver and help.

Is there any way to expose the volume control to google Home? Via GH I only get amplifier Power On/Off. The driver itself works fine on my Onkyo TX-NR676E in the SmartThings app, tho, just missing the volume control in GH so i can set it with voice

Can anybody help? Thanks.
