Homebridge-Yamaha-Zone-TV

NPM Downloads

Homebridge plugin for multi-zone Yamaha Receivers like the RX-V1075 that creates a HomeKit TV Icon to control the receiver. A TV Icon will be created for each zone, and will be controllable by the iOS Control Centre Remote App.

The Yamaha AVR will display as a TV Accessory with Power, Input, Volume & Remote Control.

The plugin will detect inputs automatically by querying the receiver. Note that inputs with a custom name and all network applications will be visible by default. If other inputs are desired to be visible this needs to be changed in the Home app.

Installation

Follow the instruction in NPM for the homebridge server installation. The plugin is published through NPM and should be installed "globally" by typing:

sudo npm install -g homebridge-yamaha-zone-tv

Configuration

config.json

  • min_volume - Minimum Volume
  • max_volume - Maximum Volume
  • discovery_timeout - How long to stay in discovery mode, defaults to 30
  • radio_presets - Create a switch for each radio preset, defaults to false ( true/false )
  • preset_num - Names the switch the number of the preset, defaults to false ( true/false ). Otherwise the name is the frequency. ( useful with Siri and Alexa )
  • zone - Zone name
  • zone_controllers_only_for - A list of zone names for which an accessory is to be created. If no value for this key is provided, then accessories for all available zones are created.
