Networked Denon Receivers

[ergodic]

I have a couple of the newer Denon receivers 3310CI and 3311CI, that provide networked access to control the unit via a browser page.

 

So far though I haven't been able to crack the code on issuing direct web commands to the unit.

 

Has anyone found a way to do this?

 

The units also support commands issued via telnet and I've scrounged up a little documentation on that. But does the ISY have a way to issue telnet on port 23?

This is for the AVR-4306, but might be what you're looking for?

Thanks!

 

I've bumped into that list in various places, and those commands do indeed work via Telnet to the unit. All I really need is standby/on and the quick selects anyway.

 

The part I'm not puzzling out is how to post them in via the ISY network interface. It's not entirely clear it's even possible.

Ergodic, any luck on getting this to work? With the ability to control Sonos players, being able to add my AVR would be sweet!

I did solve this, but I regret not in a way that is likely help you:

 

I re-turned up my Homeseer 2 with just the ISY network plug-in (which actually works quite well). There is a Denon plug-in available for Homeseer 2, though it appears limited to a single receiver. With that arrangement I'm able to get the unit to go to standby/off and on, which is all I need, though it has some other capabilities.

 

I could not find any workable mechanism to send Telnet port 23 data via the ISY network module. And I while I strongly suspect there may be a way to control my Denon directly via http, there isn't any information available, at least any I could find. And Denon support basically said "no."

 

When I get some time I'm going to wireshark the Denon plug-in to see what protocol it's using. That may give me some inspiration.
