RS-232 communication - Pioneer

[Pav 0]

Hi,

I'm trying to control Pioneer SC-LX79 AV Receiver via Fibaro HC2 and Global Cache IP2SL (IP to Serial).

I've attached a few screen shoots. This is my firs contact with RS-232 communication and I would be grateful for advise why the created buttons don't work.

Cheers

Pav

Hi @Pav ,

 

Welcome to Fibaro forum.

This is not really a place to ask this question but just to say hello. Still I can try to help you. Sending commands to another device connected to your home network from HC2 is still not that simple. Since you have HC2 you can select Lua code on buttons of your VD and try to use this code:

Above example is for POWER ON command. For other commands you just need to change line where sendCommand is defined. CR stands for carriage return or Enter key on keyboard. It must be send as byte data and not as set of characters <CR>

 

Enjoy coding!

Hi,

Many thanks for the response.

My understanding was that one of the reason for the forum is to get advice from more experienced users. 

 

When I used Global Cache IP2IR it was very simple to create VD just copying  a string and job done. I thought that I can do the same for the IP2SL (with a right command).

 

Are you saying that without LUA coding I will not be able to send command using RS232?

Cheers

No, that is not what I'm saying.

 

I just provided you solution that I'm using in LUA which I tested. It is entirely up to you if you want to use it or wait for another non LUA solution.

Many thanks, your help is appreciated. 

Unfortunately, I don't know LUA which is massive limitation for me

I set up IP and Port for the Global Cache IP2IR as on the attached picture and then copied your LUA code to the button.

Would you be kind to advise what am I doing wrong?

Do I need to specify IP and Port in your code?

 

 

In my previous post, I meant I set up IP and Port for the Global Cache IP2SL (not IP2IR).

No, the code is reading IP and Port from your settings.

It works.

Many thanks

Hi Bodyart, i cant seems to find your reply. Do you mind to repeat it again?

@Pav could you please let me know how you got it to work?

Thanks!

Hi @jamietang,

there is no other replay, than you have seen. I was refering to question from @Pav

IP address and Port number filled in the input fields as shown by @Pav are read by the code as shown above.

oh.. thanks! but it is for HC2 with LUA code?

Is it possible to do it with HCL using VD?

My serial command is simple, 1! or 2!

i can send using itest, but with the vd, I cant get it to work.

Any advice? thanks!

Update
ASCII command works fine on HCL directly. What I did was close itest, restart HCL. Not sure which one does the trick.

I remember that there is a plugin for Pioneer using TCP/IP with Port 23 built-in.

It didn't work because of two reasons. 

Firstly, I thought that the LUA code for the button (kindly provided by Sankotronic), which incorporate Pioneer command, should be send via the IP2SL. For this reason, in the VD I specified IP address of the IP2SL. However, the command can be sent to a HC2 directly via IT network (without IP2SL) so IP address of the VD should for an AVR.

Secondly, I've activated port 4999 in my AVR.

 

The only problem which I have is that respond time for POWER ON is various, sometimes up to 7s. Is there solution for this?

 

P.S. This is my first post and I accidentally put it to wrong place of the forum. Is it possible to move it to the right location?
