The provided sensor class is:
- AVRSensor
Sensor attributes
Possible attributes are:
- volume
- display
- status
Commands
connect
Should only be used for debugging purposes. Creates a socket connection to the avr. Is automatically called on pimatic startup or before sending a data command if necessary.
disconnect
Should only be used for debugging purposes. Ends the connection to the avr, if exist.
sendCommand
Has to be used in the following syntax (value is optional and only usable with "volume.set" at the moment):
[action] "[category].[command].[value]"
Sample: Set volume to -40dB (pioneer)
sendAVR "volume.set.080"
Switch the AVR off
sendAVR "power.off"

Configuration
There are five (self explaining) configuration parameters
- host
- port
- maxVolume
- brand
- logLevel
Sample Plugin Config:
{
"plugin": "pio-remote",
"host": "192.168.0.15",
"port": 23,
"maxVolume": 100,
"brand": "pioneer" || "denon" (default: pioneer),
"logLevel": "info" || "debug" || "warn" || "error" (default: info)
}
The available volume level depends on the AVR brand.
Pioneer: Volume range from 000 (mute) till 185 (+12dB). Concrete value could be calculated by the following formula
dB = 0.5 * volLevel - 80,5
Sample for a limit of -50dB
-50 = 0.5 * volLevel - 80.5
30.5 = 0.5 * volLevel
61 = volLevel
Denon: Volume range from 000 (-80dB) till 098 (+18dB). Concrete value could be calculated by the following formula
dB = volLevel - 80
Sample for a limit of -50dB
-50 = volLevel - 80
30 = volLevel
Sample Sensor Config:
{
"class": "AVRSensor",
"id": "avrsensor",
"name": "Display",
"attributes": [
{
"name": "display"
},
{
"name": "vol"
},
{
"name": "status"
}
],
"xAttributeOptions": [
{
"name": "vol",
"displaySparkline": false,
"hidden": false
},
{
"name": "status",
"displaySparkline": false,
"hidden": true
}
]
}
Sample Volume Slider config:
Slider
{
"class": "DummyDimmer",
"id": "dummy-dimmer",
"name": "Slider"
}
Rule
{
"id": "change-vol",
"name": "change vol",
"rule": "if $dummy-dimmer.dimlevel changes then sendAvr \"volume.set.$dummy-dimmer.dimlevel\"",
"active": true,
"logging": true
}
Port could be 23 or 8102 depending on the model.
