Help with increasing AVR volume increment

eengert · January 9, 2023, 2:51pm

Platform information:
- Hardware: iMac 2.7Ghz i5, 8GB RAM
- OS: MacOS Catalina
- Java Runtime Environment: Azul Zulu 19.30.11
- openHAB version: 3.4.0

I’m brand new to openHAB. I have an Onkyo AVR that changes volume by 0.5db by default. I want to have each volume button press result in a 1db change. I also have a Harmony Elite Hub remote.

I have a script which I can’t seem to get to work as expected. If there’s an easier way to accomplish my goal, please share any suggestions. But when I enable the rule below and press volume up/down buttons on my remote, the volume bounces around as shown in the log output below (just one press of volume up button). I have the >80 and <100 params in there just to keep it from bouncing around infinitely until I figure this out.

Ultimately what I’d prefer to do (if possible) is to create an action that increments/decrements the AVR volume by 1db and then map that to a button on my Harmony remote. Would someone be willing to help me get started down the right path at least?

Thanks.

You are using a wrong Java version.
openHAB 3.4 requires Java 11, no higher version supported.

Matze0211 · January 9, 2023, 3:24pm

For the new state there is also an implicit variable. As the item update will happen asynchronous it’s not a good practice to quiet the item state directly, but better to use previous & new state variables

Also your rule is triggered by item change, but your rule is also changing the item. Therefore the rule is triggering itself.

Instead of using a rule maybe solve it via UI and define a step-size, depending on the UI element.

Installed Zulu 11. Same issues.

eengert · January 9, 2023, 3:28pm

If I create UI buttons, how can I cause them to execute when I press a button on my Harmony remote?

Matze0211 · January 9, 2023, 3:42pm

Ah, misunderstood it.

Create a rule, triggered by harmony button press & send a command (current volume +/- 1) to your av receiver

eengert · January 9, 2023, 4:13pm

I’ve tried variations on the following with no success…

configuration: {}
triggers:
  - id: "1"
    configuration:
      itemName: Onkyo_AVR_Send_Button_Press
      command: VolumeUp
    type: core.ItemCommandTrigger
conditions: []
actions:
  - id: "2"
    configuration:
      itemName: Onkyo_TXNR6050_Volume
      command: Onkyo_TXNR6050_Volume + 2
    type: core.ItemCommandAction

I don’t think I’m properly setting the When trigger. How do I configure the When trigger for when the Volume Up button is press on the remote?

Matze0211 · January 9, 2023, 4:15pm

To send current value +2 you need to use a script action and cannot send it as command directly from the rule.

eengert · January 9, 2023, 5:09pm

Still not working. It’s not registering the button presses - I don’t know proper button press command to look for in the trigger. This is what I’ve tried:

configuration: {}
triggers:
  - id: "1"
    configuration:
      itemName: Onkyo_AVR_Send_Button_Press
      command: VolumeUp
    type: core.ItemCommandTrigger
  - id: "3"
    configuration:
      itemName: HarmonyHub_Family_Rm_Button_Press
      command: VolumeUp
    type: core.ItemCommandTrigger
conditions: []
actions:
  - inputs: {}
    id: "2"
    configuration:
      type: application/vnd.openhab.dsl.rule
      script: >-
        logInfo("AVRVolStep1db", "IN:  OldVol=" + previousState + ",  NewVol=" +
        Onkyo_TXNR6050_Volume.state)

        val Number step = 1

        Onkyo_TXNR6050_Volume.sendCommand( (previousState as Number) + (step*2) )
    type: script.ScriptAction

Matze0211 · January 9, 2023, 5:50pm

What’s your log file showing when your press the button? It should show anything

eengert · January 9, 2023, 5:54pm

It doesn’t show my logInfo messages. Just the activity from the Onkyo:

Maybe you first need to fix your harmony integration, that you can receive the update when pressing a button.

eengert · January 9, 2023, 9:34pm

What specifically do you mean by that? I’m able to send commands to the Harmony Hub. I just don’t know how to check for the incoming button press (if that’s even possible).

I really just want to press the Volume Up button on the Harmony and have OH increase the volume by 1db (or send two button presses, or some other way of achieving it).

Matze0211 · January 9, 2023, 10:07pm

Based on the documentation there is a channel “button” that will tell you what the button you pressed last on the device.
You should have an item linked to this channel and the item should update once you press the button
