Hi Randy, I can test it. I've sent you am email as well.

Hello Al, let's try this:

1) Connect you receiver to your local network and ensure its powered off.
2) Install the UltraPioneerAVR3 plug-in from the HomeSeer updater, then enable it.
3) From the Receivers tab, confirm the receiver is discovered and the model number is VSX-1124.
4) Now update the model number from VXS-1124 to VSX-1123, then restart the plug-in.
5) From the Receivers tab, confirm the receiver model number is still VSX-1123.
6) Power on the receiver and watch the logs to determine if it detected the powered on stated.
7) Wait about 1 minute, then visit the AVR Devices web page to determine what was detected.

At this point, everything under Master Controls, Zone2 Controls, Zone4 Controls, Channel Level, Audio Information, Video Information, Video Function, DSP Function, AMP Function, Tuner Function and Misc Function should have values. If not, try manually putting on a video source and an audio source so those value populate.

If it appears to be working at this point, then try creating devices and controlling your receiver with the HS devices that gets created. You should also be able to use the remote control and change input, volume etc. and you should see those changes reflected in the HS devices that get created.

Please report back if that works. If not, we will try plan b.

Looks like they had at least one at CES. I guess that's all they are releasing for 2015. Any idea on ETA of 2014 receivers support with this plugin?

I wonder when/if pioneer will release 2015 models?

[sparkman]

Did you ever get your VSX-1124 connected via UltraPioneer?

It's connected and the associated devices are being updated, but I can't control it from HS. Hoping that a new version will be released soon that supports that as well.

Hi Randy,

Do you know if the VSX-1124 will be supported? There's a local sale on and I may pick one up to replace a Sony receiver.

Thanks
Al

I yust wonder, it is possible to get hs to talk through the pioneer. if so, how?

Some of the Pioneer receivers also work as Airplay receivers so the Airplay Speak plugin may allow you to speak to/through them.

Great, did try again, and now it working nice.

ps!
it was my firewall fault, did open some port to my hs computer and then it worked.

Thanks for the plugin, nice work.

[Mrtiger]

Have you any plans to include vsx-924. I realy hope you do

[sparkman]

SparkMan, Did you end up getting the VSX-1124? I have the VSX-1123 and love it. I have not used the plug-in too much yet, but it is looking promising.

Hi JD, I did, but it's still in the box. I'm hoping to get it hooked up today. I'm using the plugin already with a VSX-1127 and it works great.

Cheers

The only issue I have seen is occasionally I seems to disconnect from Homeseer and when Homeseer shuts down I get an error saying something like "UltraPioneerAVR cannot close" or something (I'll pay more attention to it next time).

On the VSX-1123, I love the HDZone feature (when it works). Love the IOS app iControlAV5 as well.

Looks like that it not work with vsx-924😨 i could not connect it to the plugin.
All that happend was that my icontrolav5 app dos'nt work anymore😱
