QA for Yamaha Musiccast Devices

[michal85pl 15]

Hi,

 

From the resources available on the forum I managed to glue QA to support Yamaha Musiccast (tested on R-602N and WX-30 ). The code is certainly not clean and needs patches. Would anyone experienced be interested in helping to refine the QA and adding additional functions before posting it in the forum?

 

Regards
Michal

Can anyone help me with:
1. Addinga slider to handle volume (both from the browser and the Home Center App)
2. Is it possible to add buttons to QA in the Home Center App? How to do it?
3. Adding the cover of the currently playing song to QA

[michal85pl 15]

Anyone?

I don't believe that no one on the forum uses MusicCast devices ...
Who can help to improve my QA?

maybe you should just post at and someone would take a look. I do have already Pioneer and Bose on "to do", so no time for another system, but let's hope some other experienced users would take a look on your QA.

[Krikroff 199]

@tinman, pioneer is in the pipe and is coming soon, you can focus on Bose

I'm new here, what do you mean by QA?

 

There is a virtual device for Yamaha MusicCast which I've just set up for my R-N602.

Virtual Device is for HC2 and HCL, Quick App (QA) is for HC3.

[Tim__ 114]

ok now I understand. Sorry I have HC2 so cant help here.

[michal85pl 15]

I came to the following state.
I hope there is someone willing to improve the code and add some functions:
- adding album cover to QA
- synchronization between sliders in the browser and in the Fibaro Home Center App, reading and setting the initial value of sliders (at the moment I set the QA type to multilevel switch, because I do not know how to add a slider to the FIbaro HC App)
- adding buttons to QA in the Home Center App

Adding album cover to QA is not possible - yet. There may be support in the future for this.

I'm sorry I do't have a music cast device - more of a Sonos person.

@michal85pl

Yes component album is not supported yet

You can write slider value to variable, i saw that problem too, in some future we will store value in property

funny is that i dint saw your topic before i and was start making my Yamaha solution too (got v779) you can check how i was do that (i got player type and i made slider work) (in my quick apps is missing status what is played leaved that on next weekend season)

Got info that app in version 1.9 will support some plugins and quick apps but lets wait  what they will introduce,. When app will support your type of quickapp you will see all buttons and actions in app

Standard actions in block scene you can saw now, other you will see in next update of HC3

hi

Please login or register to see this link.

Thanks for the QA its great. I am fumbling my way through creating zones for this for my XDA-QS5400 and wondering if you can help. I want to add a function that will set the IPAddress variable based the selection of the zone button. I know how to make the buttons and set a Zone ip address variable to this but can not work out how to say button 1 release = IPaddress is IP 1.

Does this make sence?

Do you have any plans to include Zone2?

I'd like to, but I'm not a programmer so I can't do it myself

[jack.daniels 103]

Hi, I got WXA-50 but still not have HC3 to try this QA

Looking forward to do it soon

Hi! I have 3 Musiccast units and are looking for a solution where I can use scenes and link them together. (Room-link) 

I've found the PDF for API functions but I need help figuring out how to write the code in a LUA scene. 

 

 

Can someone help me with the basics?

If you manage to implement it, please share your QA, because I would also use the multiroom function.

Hi!  This worked, probably not the best script but Fibaro understood.

I got my HC3 last week and I've been busy moving all my HC2 stuff over. Your QA helped a lot to create one for my WX-30. I'm not using zones only a stereo linked WX-30 set. I fixed the slider update and I changed the HQ type to 'player' because you don't want and need a light slider on top. I guess there's a better place in the script to control that but for now it works and if the device is in standby the slider is set to 0 and the labels are cleared as well. What you basically do is calculate the percentage from volume and maxvolume and update the slider value:

I don't like it that de wx-30 is turned on at a default volume and let it start on it's previous volume.

I also added a couple of preset bottons for internet radio. They must be set in MusicCast of course. The button labels are set via variables like the ipAddress.

The last thing I added is hiding the Album label if internet radio is playing
