Add support for RX-V3900

[juw2]

Hi.
Would it be possible to add support för RX-V3900.
I had a discussion with the old developer, lucasvdh, to add support for this model.
I think the discovery is diffrent for the older models.
I got it added to homey before using an older version of the previous app and then installed the newer one.
You can see our dialog here: lucasvdh/com.yamaha.receiver#16

Have you tried this app? And adding your device is still not possible, also not wit manual pairing via IP address?

I have tried with version 0.0.3 and it doesen't work. Also tried to add correct IP but still no success.
How do you verify if the serveraddress is correct?

[RonnyWinkler]

The app uses the Yamaha Extended Control API
API specs

The app verifies the IP by calling the URL http://yourIP/YamahaExtendedControl/v1/system/getDeviceInfo
If you call this URL with your IP in a briwser and you see a response (JSON data), the reveiver supports this API.

It seems your receiver only supports the older YamahaRemoteControl API (XML) for receivers and not the newer YamahaExtendedControl (REST) for Musicast devices.
It seems, the receiver has to support Musicast to support the YamahaExtendedControl API.
I have to check if it makes sense to implement both (perhaps as a second driver).

Hi,
I added a new device type in test version 0.1.0 for AV Receiver using the older API. Please try to add your receiver using this type.
You can find the test version here:
https://homey.app/a/com.yamaha.yxc/test/

Please try the auto discovery. If the receiver is not found directly and add-manually view is shown instead, please go one step back in the dialog to restart discovery (perhaps 3 times). Sometimes discovery takes longer than 5sec. I would like to know if auto discovery is working for non-MusicCast devices (my receiver is found, but it's a MusicCast device).
Then please give me a feedback if discovery and adding is working and if you can control your receiver.
Thanks.

Hi. I realy would like to test but I can't right now. When I installed firmware v8.1.2 on my homey it got bricked so I have to send it to Athom for them to try to reinstall the homey firmware. When/if i get it back, working, I will gladly try. Thx for trying to add the old api 🙂. Br Jonas Skickat från Outlook för Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>
