The names of these commands are defined by this project, and are rewritten to actual low-level eISCP commands Onkyo uses. However, it's best to use the suggested syntax above.

And = separators, whitespace may be used, and the colon: is an alternative to =. There are some variations on this syntax that are possible, for example the following are all equivalent: power on power:on main.power on main power on In other words, instead of the. Here are some examples: system-power=on zone2.power=on main.balance=3 As you can see, the basic format is: mand=argument If you do not specify a zone, then main is assumed. Finally, you are of course able to manually specify the device to connect to: $ onkyo -host 172.20.0.144 volume=55 $ onkyo -host 172.20.0.144 -port 42424 volume=55 To find out which commands are available, use the -help-commands option.Ĭommands A command consists of three parts: The zone, the command, and the arguments. There is also an -all flag, to send you commands to all devices at once. Or using the unique identifier: $ onkyo -i 0009B0D24B75 system-power=on This will turn on the TX-NR609 device. To see which receivers the script is able to find, you can use: $ onkyo -discover If you have multiple receivers on your network, then by default, it will simply connect to the first device found (which may be a different one every time). The script should in fact be able to find your Onkyo device by itself. You may notice that you haven't given any information as to where in the network your receiver is. Installation Most recent released version: $ easy_install onkyo-eiscp Usage The package installs a script called onkyo, that can be used from the command line: $ onkyo system-power=off This will turn your receiver off. See further down below for more information. Even if you are not using Python, you may find this file useful when implementing your own interface. It is also a ready-made command line script you can use without knowing how to program.įinally, this repository contains a YAML file containing all the commands defined by the Onkyo protocol, automatically generated by parsing the official documentation.
