Denon AVR-X4300H is unstable #32

Closed cajuncoding closed 4 years ago

cajuncoding commented 6 years ago

I have a newer Denon AVR-X4300H model. Apparently the new models no longer support the web interface supported by older models (uggggg--- why remove the web or RESTFul interface). But the mobile app for the reciever works fantastically so there is definitely a stable mechanism to connect to these.

The original "denon" component does kinda sorta work -- via telnet access. But it's very unreliable. For example the volume change will work about 1 out of 5 times. The pattern I've seen is that once you set it via HomeAssistant it won't respond again for some timeout period . . . which is minutes. This miraculously it might respond and work at some later time.

So, I would MUCH rather get the denonavr component working well, so that it could be as stable as the mobile app is when changing volume, inputs, etc.! This is really a bummer because the Onkyo reciever this one replaced was very very stable and worked very well with HomeAssistant.

At this time I've fallen back to basic on/off automation using my Harmony remote integration with HomeAssistant and it's working well. But, is very very limited. Being able to set the volume and sources with HomeAssistant is a fantastic automation that I'm very much missing.

We were previously corresponding on this thread: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/7645

But, per the recommendation over there I wanted ot open a ticket here and offer my help in testing /debugging however I can to get the latest series of AVR's working!

I've attached the results of the python test script you posed on the other thread here as well to provide the Xml files that it saved out: Denon Python Requests - AVR-X4300H.zip

Unfortunately I don't think the web interface that is used by the denonavr platform is available on the higher end newer (2016+) models anymore.

On my AVR-X4300H, the urls you posted all return:

Error 403: Forbidden
Access Forbidden

This is also documented on AVS Forums: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/90-receivers-amps-processors/2444306-official-2016-denon-s-series-x-series-avr-owner-s-thread-faq.html

Note: Although the Web Control feature is no longer provided on the X4300H and X6300H, a firmware update later in 2016 will provide the capability to SAVE the config file to a USB thumb drive and then LOAD it back from the thumb drive.

Please let me know what else I can do to help. I'll try to pay more attention and be more prompt than I was before on that last thread!

Hi @scarface-4711. I did so and zipped the xmls to be found here. Thanks for your help and looking forward to your response.

@iophobia the test are running without errors with your files. Your issue might be related to https://github.com/scarface-4711/denonavr/issues/133. Please check again, when the PR mentioned there is merged into HA.

Good day to all! Guys help! Where can I find the firmware for the 4300, to download from USB flash. My receiver went crazy. Resets don't help. The network doesn't see it. Digital formats greater than 5.1 do not understand (no sound). You need to re-flash (lower the firmware). Thank you for any advice!

Hi,

Actually I run HASSIO 0.111.4 and I still has a problem with Marantz NR1609. When device comes online it wouldn't be recognised by HA and only way to get it up and running is restarting the HA. After HA restart it works normally. I reported this issue here https://github.com/scarface-4711/denonavr/issues/133 but it has been closed and forwarded to this thread.
