Anything further on getting the inputs on a vsx-1022?

From the Receiver tab, edit the entry for your VSX-1022 and change the model to VSX-1023, then restart HomeSeer2. You'll then need to delete the input device and re-create it which will rebuild the inputs based on the list of valid Pioneer receiver 2012 inputs.

I am still reluctant to add any type of support for Game - value 49 as input 49 in not listed in any of the Pioneer API documentation.

The input 06 - SAT/CAB was new with the 2012 receivers. I don't see 49 in any of the Pioneer API documentation. Is your receiver connected via serial or network? If it is connected via network, was it auto discovered? And if yes, is the make/model reported as VSX-1022?

Once I add the VSX-1022 as a valid model, it will configure the input "06 - SAT/CAB" when the input device is created. I am a bit confused on the input 49 though. I am still trying to find where this is documented ...

It has been so long since I got it working it's hard to remember. I do remember it was difficult to setup and I think I had to manually enter the model and mac address...? Honestly I don't remember. I know I had to set the ip address to use port:8102. It is showing model VSX-1022 and is connected via the network.

I went through and compared all the input of the receiver to those listed in the input dropdowns. The ones that are missing are Sat/Cbl - value 6, and Game - value 49.

Some of the others the inputs don't quite match the names but that is still useable.

Your receiver isn't listed in the Pioneer 2011 model year API documentation. What values are missing?

I have a Pioneer vsx-1022k that has been working (mostly) with the plugin for some time. My question is whether it's possible to manually add more 'input' devices to the dropdown in the device for inputs. I see a slew of inputs available, and inspecting them I see each has an associated value. My problem is that 2 of the inputs I use are not listed in here, and their values are skipped. For example the input 'Game' on my receiver shows a value of 6 when I check the device in HS2pro, but it shows no name in the dropdown and I am therefore unable to select it via the plugin. This value is skipped when I inspect the values of all the dropdowns. Is there a way to either manually add this, or force a value of 6 via a script or editing a config file or something of that nature. (It may not be 6, I am not at home right now, but I seem to remember that). I am using the HS2 version of the plugin. Any feedback is appreciated.

Sorry, for clarification the RS232 protocol is what is used via the Ethernet connection. If the Android application can turn the receiver on/off, then so can the UltraPioneerAVR plug-in. I would just need to add the receiver to the supported list. Can you confirm?

Hi
You were correct the 823 was only partialy compatible and would not operate under the 2013 android Icontrol as described. I got the 1028 works well only thin that may need tweaking is the Sat/ Cable funtion does not show in the list of master functions
I registered your Plugin for HS3 last night
Thanks.

/A181AFBC/RU

Example command to Power ON/OFF just like the IR remote

/A184FFFF/RU is the UP arrow
/A187FFFF/RU is LEFT
/A181AFEF/RU is ENTER
/A186FFF/RU is RIGHT
/A185FFF/RU is down
/A181AFB9/RU is pop-up menu

I do not know how many will work as is, but this is a common option on
Pioneer IP/RS232 control.

Maybe it is simply undocumented.

If it works or is not supported, it returns "R". If it returns "E04",
it definitely did not work.
If "E04" is received, it means key lock is on. To enable commands when
in key lock, commands 99RJ, PL, ST, SF, SR, NF, and NR are supposed to
allow RCU codes (if they are supported).

[Ultrajones]

Huh? Where is this IR hex command option documented? What commands are available via the remote that are not available via the plug-in?

R/UJ,
Is it possible to allow us to *add* commands that are available in the
IR remote and can be sent via IP to command the device? I see in the
protocol spec there is a way to embed any IR code in an IP command ---
or --- are you already doing that?

If we can get the IR codes, we can pretty much use your plug-in to
control the Pioneer equipment. We just blindly send commands. Maybe
there is a clean way to monitor for feedback of custom hex commands sent
in place of IR remote buttons.

I know I get a little burned every time I have to grab an IR remote
instead of having it programmable in HSTouch using your plug-in. Not
your fault Pioneer did not make them native ip / 232 control commands,
but they did extend it with the IR hex command option.

[Ultrajones]

Tats too bad , its quite amazing what control is offered via the Android app across the LAN port. Is Pioneer RS232 still a widely used protocol with Pioneer in times when Ethernet control apps are becoming more common?

No, the Pioneer VSX-823 is not supported because it does not fully implement the Pioneer RS232 control protocol. Only a small subset of features are available on the VSX-823.

Ultrajones

I may have a chance to return the VSX 823 and pick up a VSX 1028 that includes AV Navigator A PC control program does the plugin support the VSX 1028 ?
