# Denon Binding v1
The openHAB Denon Binding allows interaction with Denon AV receivers. It should be compatible with previous generation receivers such as AVR-X2000/X3000, as well as current ones such as X2100W/X3100W.
The binding also seems to work with some Marantz receivers (opens new window).
# Binding Configuration
The binding can be configured in the file services/denon.cfg.
Multiple receivers may be defined. Each requires a unique <name> to be defined.
| Property | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
<name>.host | Yes | The IP address of the receiver | |
<name>.update | telnet | No | Connection method. Allowed values are "telnet" or "http". Denon receivers only support one concurrent telnet connection, so use http if any other app is using the telnet connection. |
| refresh | 5000 | No | The refresh interval (in milliseconds) for the http connection method. |
# Item Configuration
Item bindings must conform to the following format:
{denon="<name>#<property>"}
<name> is the name of the receiver defined in the Binding Configuration, and <property> is one of the following:
| Property | Type | Description | Accepts |
|---|---|---|---|
| General | |||
| PW | Switch | Main power | On, Off |
| ZM | Switch | Main zone power | On, Off |
| Z2 | Switch | Zone 2 power | On, Off |
| SURROUNDMODE | String | Surround mode | |
| Volume | |||
| MV | Dimmer | Main volume | Percent, Increase/Decrease |
| MU | Switch | Mute | On, Off |
| Z2ZV | Dimmer | Zone 2 volume | Percent, Increase/Decrease |
| Z2MU | Switch | Zone 2 mute | On, Off |
| Input | |||
| INPUT | String | Main input | Input name |
| SICD | Switch | Switch main input to CD | On |
| SITV | Switch | Switch main input to TV | On |
| Z2SOURCE | Switch | Switch zone 2 input to source | On |
| Z2TUNER | Switch | Switch zone 2 input to tuner | On |
| Now playing | |||
| TRACK | String | Current track that is playing; only available when playing from network or USB. | |
| ARTIST | String | Current artist | |
| ALBUM | String | Current album |
Property names may be different for different models. Check the control protocol documentation to verify the right values.
The input mode switch commands in this table are not comprehensive. The binding supports all SI* and Z2* commands.
The inputs for main and 2nd zone can be switched by sending an ON command to the corresponding switch. The main input can also be switched by setting the INPUT property to the input name (without SI; see examples).
All zone commands also work on Zone 3 and Zone 4, if your receiver supports this (Z2MU -> Z3MU, etc.).
# Advanced
A lot of other commands can also be sent. Define a Switch item and send it the ON command. There is no feedback on the state of such commands. See the control protocol documentation for a list of commands.
There is a special property 'COMMAND' that can be used in sitemaps and in scripts. It forwards all Denon commands that are sent to it:
String DenonCommand "Command" {denon="avr2000#COMMAND"}
In sitemaps:
Switch item=DenonCommand label="Surround Mode" mappings=[MSSTANDARD="Standard", MSSTEREO="Stereo"]
In scripts:
DenonCommand.sendCommand("MNMEN ON")
