OnkyoISCP plugin

[abraxxa]

I've written an Onkyo ISCP protocol plugin this evening after pairing my PS3 remote with my new bluetooth dongle.
I've attached the first version of it. (edit: attachment removed)
When adding it the ip and port of the Onkyo device has to be configured.
The only action it currently supports is SendCommand which takes a ISCP command string as only config option.

To get a list of all ISCP commands search the web or install Michaels aweome OyRemote which could be found here: http://blog.krautsourced.com/?page_id=284

@Michael: if you're reading this it would be great to share a list of commands and maybe the icon.

The OnkyoISCP plugin is now on github: https://github.com/abraxxa/EventGhost-Onkyo-ISCP-plugin

Version 0.02 brings Perl style versioning and auto-reconnect after long periods of inactivity (is there a way to test a python socket if its still connected?).

[abraxxa]

Version 0.03 is on github, timeout was added.

[abraxxa]

I've just released version 0.04 to github.
This hopefully fixes the error after a longer time of inactivity plus adds labels to all config dialogs.

[abraxxa]

Version 0.05 is on github. This finally fixes the reconnect issues if the receiver was switched off and on again while Eventghost was running or the connection was closed due to long inactivity.
Please include in the next EventGhost dist!

Wish my Onkyo has network control... my 805 only has RS232.

[abraxxa]

There is also a plugin for that.

I use the EG plugin for Onkyo Serial - it works well... but the network control would be nicer

Hi everyone,
I edited the plugin a bit, now it is possible to receive some basic Data from the Onkyo Receiver.
Also a fixed a small bug. (if you sent to many commands at the same time they where sometimes rejected)

[abraxxa]

Please send me a pull request on github.

I'd love to but I'm not familia with github and don't know how..
By the way, I'm not really a programmer.. jet^^ (sorry for the german language in the code) I just wanted you to know that I changed the plugin a bit - and I think it is better now (of course I tested it a few days)
It doesn't matter to me if you change my code again - I just wanted to help

Thanks for your work on this. Could you please give me an example of how to send a command in the plugin? I'm getting feedback with your .06 plugin, eg. OnkyoISCP.MVL '28' when my Integra DHC-9.9's volume is set to 40, but I can't seem to send anything. !1MVL28 is what's reported in oyremote, and that corresponds to a volume level of 40 there too, so the new feedback section looks good.

I can send commands using oyremote & using the webpage with the static IP, eg. !1PWR01 will turn the power on, but the same command won't work in EventGhost.


Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers

Hi blaher,

did you ever try it without the "!1" in the beginning?
On my TX-NR509 it worked just fine when sending "PWR01" or "MVL20" for example.

If you want to know some more commands to send, look at this:
https://github.com/rmhall/AVR-Remote/bl ... VR_120.xls

[abraxxa]

Yes, you only have to enter the command.

Thanks for the responses. I have tried just sending the command without the '!1'at the beginning, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to do anything. Here is a screenshot of what is happening:

It says it's connected and if I use my Pronto remote to change volume levels, inputs etc., then it will report the correct information.

Maybe it's the way my network is set up, but it's strange that it works with the webpage and oyremote, but just not EventGhost.

For what it's worth, my Windows 7 64-bit network is setup like this:

I have two network cards in my PC, one is connected to the Internet, the other is connected to my pre-pro. None of them use crossover cable.

The Internet connection NIC is shared (192.168.168.101) to the pre-pro NIC (192.168.168.112)
My pre-pro is set to 192.168.168.111 with the default port of 60128

On both NICs & pre-pro:
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.168.1

DHCP enabled on the Internet NIC
DHCP disabled on the other two

Using IPv4 rather than 6

I have ordered a switch, so I don't have to share the Internet with the other NIC, in order to hopefully get it to work without a crossover cable, but maybe someone can see what I've done wrong in the interim.

Cheers
