I’m running the latest snapshot with the denon binding and a denon AVR-S720W. The issue is, after the unit sits idle for a stretch of time (approx. 12 hrs) it will not power on from the binding. I have to turn it on with the remote and then it will respond to all binding commands, including power on/off.
I’m also having the second zone issue as described here, not sure if that is related or not.
Please let me know if I can provide any more information.
Thanks.
Hi,
If you happen to have a denon receiver with Zone2, could you help me out by trying the binding I’m working on?
I only have Denon N8, which doesn’t have Zone 2, so cannot verify if it works or not.
So I installed the package and after adding the thing in the inbox, I got the following logs:

It seemed to be continuing to output that last line until I updated my items. I don’t know if it fixed my power issue because I initially typoed the item. I’ll test that in the morning. After I refresh the items, I get the following logs:

All of my previous functionality seems to be working (power, volume, mute). After one of the first commands I got this message repeated ~6 times:
==> /var/log/openhab2/openhab.log <==

I added a switch for the Zone 2 Power and these are the logs:

Again this appears to work correctly on the unit.
Let me know if I can provide any other info.
Thanks!
Thanks a bunch! There was an error in the thing definition regarding the zone2 input. Didn’t see any other really problematic messages in the logs.
The following means your receiver is sending these messages but there are no channels defined in xml or implemented handling. Every time the receiver sends something the binding doesn’t know how to intepret,it’s going to print these verbose messages, it’s a bit loud I know.
‘SSINFAISSIG 02’, can’t find suitable channel, you may need to implement override
’SSINFAISFSV 48K’, can’t find suitable channel, you may need to implement override
Couldn’t find these from the denon documents I was able to find online, the latter looks like a frequency info, but no idea what 
I did push another version of the binding to dropbox, feel free to give it a try
Works great! No more zone 2 errors. New unknown response though:
2017-09-13 19:32:44.116 [INFO ] [avreceiver.handler.AVReceiverHandler] - Received message: 'SVOFF'
Thanks for the fix!!
Nice to hear, looks like ‘SV’ (OFF) is a video select command, should have values like SVDVD/SVBD/SVTV…
Could be added if needed… There is a whole list of commands that haven’t been added to the definition yet, but if you feel like adding, feel free to key them in to the xml file and I can compile the new version for you. Maybe worth mentioning that some of the basic channel-type definitions are in a global channel.xml (power/master volume/mute/…) Only the very denon specific channel-types are in the denon.xml, like input selection values
