Fibaro HCL and Denon HEOS

I'm trying to integrate my Denon HEOS multi-room sound system into Fibaro. The goal is to be able to turn on music using scenes, for example to wake me up in the morning. Since I've a HCL I can only use virtual devices.

The Denon HEOS system can be controlled by connecting to port 1255 (Telnet or raw) and sending URI-like commands. The response is a JSON string.

I've tried sending commands using PuTTY and it works very well. However I cannot get it to work from HCL using a virtual device. So I thought that perhaps PuTTY sends the command in a different way? Using IO Ninja I started a TCP-listener on my computer and compared the way PuTTY and HCL sends the commands. I could conclude that they were identical!

By coincidence I happened to be connected to my HEOS system with PuTTY at the same time as I triggered the virtual device and it worked! In other words, if the port is already opened (in my case by PuTTY from my computer) the virtual device works, if not then it doesn't.

I'm confused, what could be the problem? Is it the way Fibaro HCL sets up the TCP-connection that differs? Any suggestions are very welcome!

Hello Henrik @ First of all excused me for my somewhat academic English. I allow myself to contact you because I followed your forum and for a neophyte I managed to mount a local server on my pc with eclipse and I access the web page http: // localhost: 8080 / Heos by miracle j managed to control my heos. Now I would like to transfer the servlets on my synology server with tomcat to access my server's http: // IP: 8080 / Heos. Could you help me? Thank you in advance for your return.
