I concluded that this would all work better if it was integrated natively into Domoticz rather than suffering an external translation.

Docs and some scripting to help users deploy it, https://github.com/dwmw2/domoticz/blob/ ... c/ALEXA.md

I've been using Madgeni's original alexa_domo code for years, but I've finally been prompted to update it now that the Smart Home APIv2 is being switched off.

At https://github.com/dwmw2/alexa_domo is an almost completely rewritten version, supporting the Smart Home v3 API and a few new devices. It ...

I'd been using Madgeni's original alexa_domo for years, but the Smart Home API v2 is finally being turned off next week so I've spent some time updating it. And making it use the OAuth2 server that Domoticz now has built-in, so the account linking can log in directly to Domoticz instead of having to ...

I had a similar problem a few years ago and solved it with a LUA script:

More recently I'm using ESPHome, so I've just submitted a PR which fixes the handling of `total_increasing` devices with MQTT AutoDiscovery: https://github.com ...

yes I know, it was in the beta for some time and it works fine but I hate that I can't force connect.
It's hard set to 30 sec.


Hm, that's the first time I've spotted that complaint. Why's it a problem? You can connect to the amp even if it's "off"... do you use a hard power switch with it?

It ...

The 4.9700 stable release was made a week or two ago, containing built-in support for Onkyo amps.

Yes I did but then I have only the possibility of switching on and off, volume and zone 2 from my receiver. I would like the possibility of choosing my input (like radio).

I the onkyo app is this possible why not in the plugin?


Hm, that ought to work. In the models without NRIQSTN it should ...

@dwmw2: Would it be hard to add device and learning of radio channels for pre-NRI-devices?


I'm not sure how we'd want to represent those as a device in Domoticz. It's not a simple selector switch like the input selector, since the presets only represent *some* of the available states of the ...

There is an aggressive timeout for device discovery. It's been a while since I last paid attention but I seem to recall having to play some tricks to make discovery faster. Is the invocation timing out? Check the CloudWatch logs for your Lambda function and see what's happening...

Responses are a bit hard. You don't always get one. But it might be possible to cobble something together — perhaps with a timeout of 2 seconds, wait to see if anything comes back which has the first three letters of what was sent. There are use cases that wouldn't work for, though.

But really ...

Thanks for all the work so far, now we wait till it's merged in a beta...


Should be in the next beta build. For receivers without NRIQSTN support it'll learn the devices (per-zone volume, power, source selector) as it sees them change. And it'll learn the available sources as it sees each one ...

I've rolled those fixes into https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/pull/1971

Still need to make it send the queries on startup, if NRIQSTN isn't supported. Real work intrudes though...

cant you just check the other QSTN types and set the state?


Yeah, it could send QSTN at startup for any device which has previously been seen. There are caveats though, because the device sometimes doesn't respond if you send too much at once, especially if one of them is NRIQSTN. I probably ...

OK, this should fix the support for models without NRIQSTN somewhat:
https://github.com/dwmw2/domoticz/commits/onkyo-dev

It still doesn't precreate devices; it needs to learn them. So turn each zone on/off and change its volume, and select every one of the inputs that it can manage.

I still need ...

If you turn the zones on/off on the amp ,and turn the volumes for each zone up/down, the devices come back? But just don't have the correct icon, yes?

What happens when you interact with one of the existing volume control devices, after the upgrade?

Edit: checked the document which i got from onkyo a time ago when i implemented my own eiscp stuff. My TX-NR545 supports NRI.
When doing a manual NRIQSTN i just got a timeout.


You mean, it's *supposed* to support NRI, but empirically, it doesn't seem to?


The last version i used was just ...

updated to the latest beta an now the native domoticz plugin does not work anymore for my TX-NR545. Anything i can do that it is working again?

Hm, I didn't think that should have broken. I'll check and fix it. Thanks.
