Onkyo Receiver IP commands

Questions
#1

Hi All,
I have been working on my new Home Remote project for a few weeks now and I have a lot of my Hubitat, Alexa, Zwave stuff working as well as my Sony Brava TV thanks to Bill for being the patient person he is.
I am working on my Home Theater Onkyo TX NR717 Amp and I am having 2 issues I can’t seem to plow my way through.
1: I am getting an error when I try to do a IP Based Media Command to switch to HDMI 1. it tells me “No connection could be made because the target machine is actively refusing it 10.10.0.253:60128”
I have set remote control allowed and set a PSK on the Receiver, but it seems to not like it. How do you test credentials?

  1. if you have a device like this onkyo system is there a way to find out what commands and proper syntax to add into a THR binding. I have looked at a few Onkyo Plugins and the commands they have are only a few limited commands. I am trying to see if there is a way to know what the allowed commands are for a new device without a fully functional device plugin.
    I see some used DirectionUp, some were UP, some were Direction UP. Am I missing a big part of this picture and making this harder than it needs to be? I know I can add attributes to a device, but I am unsure what the proper attribute spelling and syntax would be.

  1. If you are seeing a “No connection could be made” error that means that you are not connected. There could be any number of reasons you aren’t connected. Maybe your receiver has connection limits, maybe it’s not supported, maybe your WiFi or LAN is down, I don’t know.

  2. I believe the Onkyo integration advertises which media commands are supported through the SupportedMediaCommands attribute just like every other device. You can bind that attribute to a Label or GridView to see what’s available. You likely aren’t going to see anything if you are disconnected.

Thank You Bill, working now with a few different port numbers I found, I think that’s the problem right now. The network is up and running and I can get to the port 80 Network configuration screens.
Researching Onkyo site for ports used.
Thank You again for your time.
