Domoticz-DenonEx-Plugin

Telnet based Denon / Marantz plugin

Controls a single amplifier on your network. If you have more than one you can create multiple instances of the plugin via the Hardware page, one per amplifier.

Key Features

• Uses the Domoticz Extended Plugin Framework
• Creates a DeviceID per Zone with three Units per Zone
  1. Basic power indicator, On/Off.
  2. Zone selector switch for sources, these should match the source names from the documentation that you want to use.
  3. Volume level. Icon mutes/unmutes, slider shows/sets volume.
• Devices for additional zones added automatically if detected
• When network connectivity is lost the Domoticz UI will show the device(s) with a red banner
• Amplifier is optionally auto-discovered on the network.
