I dont see a

line in your logs, this indicates you dont have the MQTT Interface setup..
then in Domoticz add a new hardware type: MQTT and tell it to connect to localhost, then you should be cooking.

thats was very odd, glad you figured that out because I would have been running in circles... but it looks like your finally up and working yay.
id suggest putting log back to false, thats like extra verbose mode right now and alot of redundant information.. you will still get logs with it disabled, just not so much of it.
Ive got syslog enabled and it logging to /var/log/htc.log so I can see what its doing while running in background, useful for troubleshooting ultra-rare bugs.. you can find more info in:

Odd indeed but i think the Key was 'localhost:1883' in the config file.
Did put the logging off, no furter need for it.
My VSX dont have a switch on from the network (WOL) so i hope it can handle it, the connection back.
Everything is working now! GREAT JOB!
One little thing the volume slider works but the mute function not completly.
Its sends a mute on, my vsx sees that but my vsx tells its not muted so it put it back off again and that in a second.
Is it hard to get a volume slider or buttons for the subwoofer pre-out -12-+12?
Still need to write a manual for the wife
And mayb to get her crazy to buy a new pioneer somewhere this year

your going to need to disable the volume slider right now, its broken.. I been working with devs to get what I need into the beta but I am not quite there yet.. looks like next stable domoticz is coming at the end of the month so I better get cracking on it.
I'll let you know once I got the volume fully functional and you should just be able to update and add that back into your config.
I will look to see if changing volume on sub is doable, I have my system all MCACC self-tuned so I tend not to mess with it as it does pretty damn good as is... my sub is pretty big and can get out of hand pretty quickly without decent equalizer settings.

ok there are commands I can use to change bass level, but its per input setting.. I dont think it would work well.
I propose this alternative: MCACC MEMORY SET, I've got 6 memory settings I can store various speaker configurations in.. If you want a high bass or low bass setting just save it into a memory slot and I can have a selector choose between them with a default each time its powered on.
ie, I could copy my self tuned MCACC memory to an empty slot, manually edit it to detune the subwoofer and increase the volume on the center channel for dialog, and get a pretty decent night mode.. or a party mode where bass is up a little bit so there is still enough bass left when all speakers are running and volume is set low enough to allow for conversations.
Does your Pioneer support MCACC Memory?

Great, i only use one MCACC but my wife and i can't agree about the sub setting. Normal i use only between -3 and +3.
Its all what is playing and at what volume. movie, episode or music and at wich volume. The -12 and +12 is indeed to big and it will do some damage if it is not used right.
A movie we do +3, a epesode at 00, -3 for some very loud music, but +3 for low volume.
Mayb i will have a look at the MCACC settings just like the light scene's but now Audio scenes and there wil be always a remote for the last settings.
How big is the problem with the volume slider? From what i can see its working great only the mute funtion and the remote/vsx is a bit lagy because they cant agree fast enought.

the problem with the dummy sliders was it was a mere 15 steps from 0-100%, and I coded against a switch that I customized to have 100 steps between 0-100%.. I submitted my custom switch to the repo but it was rejected and Gizmo started finishing up work on an existing switch that was supposed to have these features.
what version of domoticz are you running? maby they made it in, Ive been busy this week and havent been paying that much attention since last time I updated.. was planing on making progress on it this weekend, but it could well be done already.
If thats the case then yeah, it probably works mostly except the mute function.. that was a separate switch at the last point I was working on it.. should be an easy fix.. the disagreement your seeing though could be a symptom of the broken slider, does it have 100 steps or only a few? does anything over 15% register as 100%? I am not sure how it would behave with the original dummy slider because I did not code against it..

V2.4389
Don't think they did, still junps about 6 or 7%. But it is working for me. A 100 steps would be better.
Re: Home Theatre Controller (Pioneer AVR + USB PowerMate)
Posted: Friday 05 February 2016 18:18
by nayr
my math takes the 121-181 steps from the receiver (depending on where max volume is set, I suggest 0db which is 161 steps and puts normal volume at about the 50% mark) and translates it into percentages from 0-100. The dummy slider in Domoticz was seeking numerical input between 0-15, so thats where it was broken and where I've been working on getting a change in the main domoticz branch.
I would urge you to set that to false at this point and just leave that switch dangling until Ive got this addressed, I would hate for you to damage your speakers because the volume landed at a level you did not instruct it to go to. (rounding up 7% could get really ugly)
these are also the kinda switches you might consider protecting with a password to prevent misclicks, this is not a volume up button that will only change it slowly when someone sits on it.. this can go to 100% in an instant and that can be bad for your speakers, hearing and WAF.

steppi, your getting a Connection Refused back from your Pioneer.. this can either be because something is already connected to it (another HTC instance, android remote, etc) or your receiver is simply not listening on that port.
check your network setup directly on your AVR, Mine lets me configure multiple port numbers and I have one dedicated to HTC.. I think you will have the same capability.. but HNBC84 can only use port 21 as his does not support multiple listening ports
it should match the following line in your config.js
Code: Select all
avrPort: 50000, // Dedicated Telnet port on Pioneer
that 50000 is the port I use and only an example, I believe the example config uses port 23 as its typically the default.
