Denon / Marantz Binding
This binding integrates Denon & Marantz AV receivers by using either Telnet or a (undocumented) HTTP API.
Introduction
This binding is an adaptation of the existing Denon 1.x binding. It can be fully configured without any configuration files. In most cases the AVRs can be discovered and will be added to the Inbox of the Paper UI.
Supported Things
This binding supports Denon and Marantz receivers having a Telnet interface or a web based controller at http://<AVR IP address>/.
Tested models: Marantz SR5008, Denon AVR-X2000 / X3000 / X1200W / X2100W / X2200W / X3100W / X3300W
Denon models with HEOS support (AVR-X..00H) do not support the HTTP API. They do support Telnet.
During Discovery this is auto-detected and configured.
Discovery
This binding can discover Denon and Marantz receivers using mDNS. The serial number (which is the MAC address of the network interface) is used as unique identifier.
It tries to detect the number of zones (when the AVR responds to HTTP). It defaults to 2 zones.
Binding Configuration
The AVR should be auto-discovered correctly. In case it does not work you can add the AVR manually. There are no configuration files for this binding.
Thing Configuration
The DenonMarantz AVR thing requires the host it can connect to.
There are more parameters which all have defaults set.
| Parameter | Values | Default |
|---|---|---|
| host | hostname / IP address of the AVR | - |
| zoneCount | [1, 2 or 3] | 2 |
| telnetEnabled | true, false | false |
| telnetPort | port number, e.g. 23 | 23 |
| httpPort | port number, e.g. 80 | 80 |
| httpPollingInterval | polling interval in seconds (minimal 5) | 5 |

Channels
The DenonMarantz AVR supports the following channels (some channels are model specific):
| Channel Type ID | Item Type | Description |

| General | ||
| general#power | Switch (RW) | Power on/off |
| general#surroundProgram | String (R) | current surround program (e.g. STEREO) |
| general#artist | String (R) | artist of current track |
| general#album | String (R) | album of current track |
| general#track | String (R) | title of current track |
| general#command | String (W) | Command to send to the AVR (for use in Rules) |
| Main zone | ||
| mainZone#power | Switch (RW) | Main zone power on/off |
| mainZone#volume | Dimmer (RW) | Main zone volume |
| mainZone#volumeDB | Number (RW) | Main zone volume in dB (-80 offset) |
| mainZone#mute | Switch (RW) | Main zone mute |
| mainZone#input | String (RW) | Main zone input (e.g. TV, TUNER, ..) |
| Zone 2 | ||
| zone2#power | Switch (RW) | Zone 2 power on/off |
| zone2#volume | Dimmer (RW) | Zone 2 volume |
| zone2#volumeDB | Number (RW) | Zone 2 volume in dB (-80 offset) |
| zone2#mute | Switch (RW) | Zone 2 mute |
| zone2#input | String (RW) | Zone 2 input |
| Zone 3 | ||
| zone3#power | Switch (RW) | Zone 3 power on/off |
| zone3#volume | Dimmer (RW) | Zone 3 volume |
| zone3#volumeDB | Number (RW) | Zone 3 volume in dB (-80 offset) |
| zone3#mute | Switch (RW) | Zone 3 mute |
| zone3#input | String (RW) | Zone 3 input |
(R) = read-only (no updates possible) (RW) = read-write (W) = write-only (no feedback)
Item Configuration
Example of usage in .items files.
Switch marantz_power "Receiver" <switch> {channel="denonmarantz:avr:0006781d58b1:general#power"}
Dimmer marantz_volume "Volume" <soundvolume> {channel="denonmarantz:avr:0006781d58b1:mainZone#volume"}
Number marantz_volumeDB "Volume [%.1f dB]" {channel="denonmarantz:avr:0006781d58b1:mainzone#volume"}
Switch marantz_mute "Mute" <mute> {channel="denonmarantz:avr:0006781d58b1:mainZone#mute"}
Switch marantz_z2power "Zone 2" {channel="denonmarantz:avr:0006781d58b1:zone2#power"}
String marantz_input "Input [%s]" {channel="denonmarantz:avr:0006781d58b1:mainZone#input" }
String marantz_surround "Surround: [%s]" {channel="denonmarantz:avr:0006781d58b1:general#surroundProgram"}
String marantz_command {channel="denonmarantz:avr:0006781d58b1:general#command"}
Sitemap Configuration

Using the command channel
In a .rules file you can use the sendCommand function to send a command to the AVR.
marantz_command.sendCommand("MSMCH STEREO")
