Onkyo receiver <--> Domoticz

[mcwieger]

We've discussed writing the status of the Onkyo to the log in this thread, but is it actually possible to display a status in the switch? E.g. in the Kodi switch you can see what's playing, in the Synology utility the CPU% used. I'd like to show the input selected on the Onkyo in the On/Off switch. Does anyone know how to do something like this?

It is a good idea! With 'current technology' we will need a repeting task to check every so many minutes for the actual input and power state. Nicer would be if the messages that are broadcasted by the receiver could be caught, like the Onkyo app does (when I use the std. IR remote, the app immediately updates as well)

[mcwieger]

I believe it can be done using LUA, with this command:

Code: Select all

commandArray['UpdateDevice']='idx|nValue|sValue'

Two challenges:
- I'm using domoticz_main currently to operate my Onkyo, which is not LUA. Don't know the syntax of domoticz_main
- I don't know how to query input from the Onkyo

And two personal challenges:
- Find the time to do this
- Figuring out if I'm actually going to use it, as I will probably control the Onkyo with their app

[mvveelen]

Don't you have Onkyo installed on your Syno ?

You can then use something like:

Code: Select all

onkyo --host 192.168.0.115 --port 60128 system-power:query

The result should be something like:
('system-power', 'standby')

(I'm at work at the moment, and my wife is not at home, so the Onkyo is 'off' / 'standby')

I guess you could use the onkyo program to get more info, but I haven't tried it myself. Yet.

[mvveelen]

You can use easy_install or pip on Synology.

Please check if you have pip installed (e.g. using Putty). If not, install the Python package first in the package center.
Use pip install onkyo-eiscp to install the package. You can now find it in /usr/bin.

An alternative is to use the php script which is available here: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Control_Onkyo

Just place this on any location on your Synology (e.g. create folder /web/onkyo/ and place the script there. You can use it immediately via the command line or in a script using curl (should also be installed on your Synology).

The only thing with the script is that not all commands are in it, but you can very easily modify the script to your needs, using the Excel document with EISCP commands you can find in this topic. Let me know if you need the version I created.

Hi.

I upgraded to DSM6 and am missing 'onkyo' all of a sudden. Tried this, but I don't get 'pip' to install onkyo on my Synology. Don't want to use the .php version, because my scripts use the onkyo. Any idea on how I can install it on DSM6 ?

[mcwieger]

Yes, I remember that upgrading to DSM6 gave me some issues too. I don't fully recall, but I think you need to upgrade pip first:
pip install --upgrade pip

I do have issues with the app since DSM6, but currently not enough time to do something about it.

[mvveelen]

Full with hope I drove back home and tried it.

What can be wrong here? Lots of errors. The command 'onkyo' is still unknown. What ??

Edit:

One small step further??

Tried the easy_install method:

It appears the onkyo-eiscp developers added a dependency to a tool called netifaces. This fails to install, same for me. I've reported this issue to the developers. I fear they'll send me to the netifaces developers, but let's see.
I'm not a Linux expert, but I suspect that it's platform related i.e. a specific issue for this Synology type.

[mvveelen]

Jadahl for president !

This fixed it (for me). The "old" version is all I needed and indeed, this was installed without errors. And 'onkyo' is now working for me. Thanks again !

[mrefex]

I just read this thread and have installed the tool. After struggling with some missing files it finally worked.
But i have the TX-RN656 and want to switch to the internet radio preset . : ONKYO SLI28.. but this paramater is Not Available on my receiver.
is there a work arround to go to this preset ?

As somebody did i also want to create a script which will turn on the radio when i come home from work.

Hello,

I've used a script I found in this thread to check the on or off status of the Onkyo.
While trying to control my Onkyo I've managed to create a selector-switch with 3 options so far: Off | CBL/SAT | Shield

I don't know how to write lua and I can somewhat understand the code. Below I've tried to create a query to input-selector but it's not working.
Can someone help me out?

Code: Select all

   -- check if the value is valid or has some weird reading
   if (result == 0 or result == nil) then
      print_color('RED', 'Input error. Value is 0 or nil. Skipping this reading')
      return commandArray
   else
      if (result == "standby") and otherdevices[virt_onkyo] == 'On' then
         print_color('GREEN', 'Now powering off the Onkyo.')
         commandArray[virt_onkyo]='Off'
      end
      if (result == "on") and otherdevices[virt_onkyo] == 'Off' then
         print_color('GREEN', 'Now powering on the Onkyo.')
         commandArray[virt_onkyo]='On'
      end
   end

   if (result == 0 or result == nil) then
      print_color('RED', 'Input error. Value is 0 or nil. Skipping this reading')
      return commandArray
   else
      if (result == "video2,cbl,sat") and otherdevices[virt_onkyo] == 'Shield|On|Off' then
         print_color('GREEN', 'The Onkyo is set to watching TV. (CBL/SAT)')
         commandArray[virt_onkyo]='CBL/SAT'
      end
      if (result == "strm-box") and otherdevices[virt_onkyo] == 'CBL/SAT|On|Off' then
         print_color('GREEN', 'The Onkyo is set to the Nvidia Shield input.')
         commandArray[virt_onkyo]='Shield'
      end
   end

[nixalsschrott]

The recent addition of the script editor in Domoticz triggered me to put all my LUA scripts into the database. I wanted to have the Onkyo logic in there also. I re-wrote a LUA script with some input from this page: https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Control_Onkyo ...

Basically it seems to work, but only when the receiver is on. Then I get the status report. When the receiver is in standby I get the following error message: "Input error. Value is 0 or nil. Skipping this reading." Actually using latest domoticz v3.8143 on synology NAS. Any idea whats the problem and how to solve ?

Kind regards
matty

[jake]

As far as I know you can only query these kind of things when the receiver in on. To prevent an error, you better check with the script if the receiver is on, before going further. Please take a look at the Python plugin for Onkyo. Much faster and it also pushes information from Onkyo to Domoticz, rather than pulling. No coding involved
