Support for the new 2011 receiver models: VSX-921 or VSX-1021?

I'm thinking of buying a Pioneer receiver in the Netherlands.
Does the plugin support the new models VSX-921 or VSX-1021?

No, the plug-in does not officially support either unit because they don't support the RS-232 home automation protocol. This means the receiver does not listen on TCP port 25 or have an RS-232 port. However, I have heard reports of the plug-in working with these units using a network connection to the TCP port dedicated for Apple iPod/iPad control. However, I cannot confirm this.

I believe the Pioneer VSX-1121-K will be the only non-Elite 2011 model that supports the home automation RS-232 protocol via an RS-232 port or a network connection to TCP port 23. The model should be released within the next few months.
