Suddenly stopped working #6

I had been using the previous version of your integration and then yesterday I found this one. I'm very happy to get the media player support - it makes my automations (which cover multiple receivers) much easier.

I had this all working well, and then all of a sudden it stopped working. The device says the RMC-1 is off, and trying to turn it on does nothing. When I click the Remote slider, it turns on and then immediately turns off again.

I restarted Home Assistant, I removed and re-added the integration, and I hard power cycled the RMC-1 and that made no difference.

The iOS app is able to control the RMC-1 with no issues. Any ideas on what's going on, or what I can do to troubleshoot?

Glad to hear it 😊 I think they’re fine so long as you do the same things all the time, but they can get unpredictable – there’s just some bad code in their base – for example the fact they’re still using an API designed for XMC-1 with RMC even though they’ve changed the way speaker presets are completely different. My only ongoing problem is it often won’t sync to the input from my digital dac – I have the automation switch to the right input, switch off it, then switch back again to make it sync reliably…

Agreed, mine was mostly stable until I introduced a Lumagen into the video chain and started using multiple sources, not I have to do the same thing as you to get it to sync, which I think I finally have the automation built out to get it to sync by changing sources on the processor and projector back and fourth to get it to work. Thanks for this integration! Without it I was juggling HA and the emo remote to do all of that. Now it's mostly automated. Huge thanks!
