Hello,
I use a Sonos device connected to the CD input on my AV receiver for my Homeseer speaker client. I use the BLDenon plugin to control the receiver. My other media devices are connected into other receiver inputs. What I am trying to do: Before a speech event, save the BLDenon input and volume status of the receiver. Switch the input to CD and the volume to 70. Do the speech event. After the speech event, switch the input and volume back to what they were before.
The method I have tried is to create one virtual device for volume and one for input, then to copy the value of the BLDenon volume and input to the virtual devices before the speech event. I have been able to accomplish that using simple scripts. However, when I attempt to go in the opposite direction and read and restore the virtual device values to the BLDenon devices after the speech event, I am having a hard time. The BLDenon input device status appears to update in the Homeseer UI, but it doesn't seem to send the command to the receiver.
Am I on the right track? Is there a better way to do this? Thanks,
Kenny
