If your Onkyos support native IP, why do you need the GC-100 at all? I am sure that you need a port for all IP connections, so that's probably why they aren't connecting. I have a Pioneer Elite receiver and I can connect directly to it via the plugin and fire simple text commands at it. See the example .ini file in the Zip in the release thread on how it is configured. Unfortunately I don't know how the Onkyo IP control works.cheeryfool

orig config = serial software = gc-100= TWA plug-in = Onkyo (serial)
now new receivers are ip.. looks like I don't need anything but plug-in !!
GC-100 will be for serial to SONY TV
That looks better. Hopefully the commands are simple and not wrapped in some ugly protocol like the Sammy TVscheeryfool

Type = C-Escaped
Carriage Return = \r
So your standby command would read:
!1PWR00\r
Hopefully it's as simple as this, but this thread (perhaps for a different model) suggests it might be more complex
Please post all your model numbers of the various components that you still need to automatecheeryfool

As a beginner to com-port commands I have some questions which I hope you can help me out.
I've tried this plugin to send commands to my Russound Cam 6.6. This is connected via a direct serial cable (that used to work under HS2). In the plugin I've put type as Serial, Client, address at 3 (reflecting com3) and leave port blank. Are these the right settings?
The documentation of Russound shows that the com-port should be 19200 baud, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit, no flow control, no parity. So I set the serial ports in the plug-in to: 19200, 8, 1, none, none, 1...
One of the commands I tried to send was to open Zone 1, the HEX codes were:
F0 00 00 7F 00 00 70 05 02 02 00 00 F1 23 00 01 00 00 00 01 12 F7
I've tried to send these commands as all formats (Raw, Binary, URL and C-escaped) by running an event.
Unfortunately the lights on my Russounds stay red (where Zone 1 should be turning green).
Could you help this com-port starter?

Thanks for this suggestion. I tried this but unfortunately didn't work. I've attached my setup screens (maybe I'm overlooking something).
I thought that maybe my serial ports weren't functioning properly, so I performed a loopback test (Hyperterminal). This worked so that shouldn't be a problem...

Indeed, tried both. But when set to Client I'm not able to enable the connection (red cross at the right)...

To verify that your RussSound is receiving commands from your PC and responding to them, can you try sending them from another app? I recommend you try RealTerm (http://realterm.sourceforge.net/). You will need to close the connection from the plugin first.
