Anthem AVR control

[Anthony_Kelly]

Hey Bill and everyone!
I have an Anthem receiver which I can only use via the Logitech harmony. While this does most items - there are a number of functions that are not available - particularly being able to see the actual volume level.
There is a python github page (below) where someone has setup a connection for RS232 and IP but I have no idea how to translate this to xaml etc.
If anyone else is interested in this please vote it up! Or if you are more technically savvy then me (not hard) perhaps you want to take on the challenge?
Either way thanks for reading.

There’s a plug-in that works really well. Which model Anthem do you have?

I made an example you can load to test how it operates on your system. See the link…

Here's the first cut of Anthem IP control pluging

Nice work @LJR Question… How did you get the “dB” after the value? is that just another label? I used your plugin script and tossed together a quick example. I put in as many commands as I can think of except for your speaker profile stuff. I’m not sure how to handle that yet… See Attached Example: Anthem_Example_2022_12_23.hrp (1.2 MB) Once you open the example, remember to change the IP (and port if different) of “Anthem_MRX_AVM” (right click > open). Also change the IP in the properties …

Brilliant- thanks very much. I have a mrx1120. I will give this a try!

Hi,

So I opened the example then changed the IP address in the device. I also checked the port was 14999 on the Receiver. When I then press the start button the page loads but when clicking on any button it comes back saying that the device actively refused the connection. Not sure what this means?
I thought when I first loaded it - it had input 4 in a blue colour but no longer.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Anthony
