node-red-contrib-denon-sxp 1.0.1

Denon AVR control node for Node-RED

npm install node-red-contrib-denon-sxp

node-red-contrib-denon-sxp

A Node-RED node to communicate Denon AVR receivers over telnet (port 23) TCP/IP connection.

This fork fixes socket/timeout handling issues and improves connection stability.

Install

Run command on Node-RED installation directory

npm install node-red-contrib-denon-sxp

Usage

If you want to use this node simply inject message's payload as string:

Denon-Out node sends commands to Denon devices

Commands with no arguments

Master Volume

MV20

Master Volume set to 20 - command from Denon AVR protocol: DENON_PROTOCOL_V7.6.0.pdf

Master Volume Up

MVUP

Master Volume UP by 0.5 - command from Denon AVR protocol: DENON_PROTOCOL_V7.6.0.pdf

Master Volume Down

MVDOWN

Master Volume DOWN by 0.5 - command from Denon AVR protocol: DENON_PROTOCOL_V7.6.0.pdf

Commands with arguments

Currently, there is only one such command implemented: SetVolumeDB. One may use setvolumedb too, cause it's case insensitive. So, msg object should look like:

{
    "topic": "setvolumedb",
    "payload": -65.5
}

It will set the master volume to -65.5dB.

Denon-In

Node sends to single output messages from Denon equipment with structure:

{
    "topic": "denon",
    "payload": "PWON"
}

where notification could be PWON and data contain additional info, arguments for current notification.

Collect debug log for issues

Current package uses debug package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/debug. Run your node-red with command to enable debug output:

set DEBUG=node-red-contrib-denon-sxp
node-red

for globally installed Node-RED, or

set DEBUG=node-red-contrib-denon-sxp
node node-red/red.js

for local Node-RED. Highly recommend to use cross-env package to set environment variables in cross OS way.
