Support for Onkyo receivers

MarcoF · July 2014

Onkyo has a wide range of receivers that has an network connection and the ability to connect several online stream services. Also its possible to control the receiver with an android app and/or Vera3 plugin.

It would be great if Homey could also control Onkyo receivers.

Would-be great.

+1 Also homey playing things on it from itself (so homey worries about finding the media and just streams the audio to the onkyo) would be super cool!

Onkyo receivers are easy to control with ISCP/EISCP but I control my Onkyo NR-709 the serial way instead of networked. Why? It saves me 38W while it's off, which is roughly the same amount our dryer uses on a yearly basis. Maybe the more recent Onkyo receivers are performing better nowadays regarding power consumption with network control enabled, but if you don't want a higher energy bill it might require some additional hardware..

I've noticed there is a node library: https://github.com/tillbaks/node-eiscp. We'll add it to the list!

@RobertHekkers;
AFAIK my NR-709 doesn't use 38W in standby and with the Android App i can power up my receiver without any problem.

MarcoF · July 2014

I need to correct my previous post;
In the app its not possible to powerup the receiver.

But it should be possible for homey to powerup the receiver with its powerful IR.

Other brands also have network connectivity and apps. Maybe something generic is valuable that can be tweaked for various brands without programming involved (maybe some scripting).

@MarcoF
It does, with the settings you'd need to power it on/off by its Ethernet cable. (I'm a fan of wired stuff..) Check http://blog.hekkers.net/2011/06/15/keeping-av-power-consumption-acceptable/ for more info.

I have an Onkyo TX-NR636 and I use Spotify Connect and Tune-in Radio.
Also, I have set up "Hybrid Standby" so the Onkyo powers on by use of the IOS app or Ethernet control.

control receivers over network? a must have for Home-automation +1
- i would like to set the volume by a spoken command or in a scene directly to a value
- Feedback from the device to show may in an app
- decrease volume for a telephone call or communicate with a people at the door

special Onkyo +2

+1000!
this is a MUST have!
I have an Onkyo TX-NR636, how cool would it be, just to start an operate the receiver with voice commands

Onkyo TX-NR636 here as well, and I already built a web page to control it from PHP. As soon as I receive my Homey I will probably start building an app to control the Onkyo (if no one beats me to it)

Excellent! I will wait patiently!

+1 for Onkyo ( have a tx-nr646 myself)

+1 TX-NR636 here!

HomeyIsCool · January 2016

i try the Implementation from: https://github.com/estbeetoo/eiscp.js (not with homey because i don't have one.
it works good (Currently only basics tested).
The auto-recognition for my TX-NR807 do not work!
In the documentation from Onkyo the auto-recognation with the UDP Package used in above implementation is only for Onkyo receivers from 2011 or newer.
For me i had to set the IP, Port and Receiver-Modell manually.
