Yamaha Receiver Binding: playback_channels#directmode

Add-ons Bindings

Hey Guys,

since the official Yamaha Receiver Binding did not support setting the Pure Direct Mode on/off, yet, I’ve written a small rule to handle this.

The IP address of the receiver needs to be adjusted to fit your environment.

Items file:

String    Yamaha_PureDirect_Result    "Result: [%s]"

Rules file:

var String result

rule "Yamaha Pure Direct"
when
    Item Yamaha_PureDirect changed
then
    val String urlString = "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80/YamahaRemoteControl/ctrl"
    val String contentType = "text/xml"
    val String contentString = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?><YAMAHA_AV cmd=\"PUT\"><Main_Zone><Sound_Video><Pure_Direct><Mode>COMMAND</Mode></Pure_Direct></Sound_Video></Main_Zone></YAMAHA_AV>"

    // Set pure direct mode on or off
    if( Yamaha_PureDirect.state == ON ) {
        logDebug("Rules.YamahaReceiver.SetPureDirectMode", urlString + contentType + contentString.replace("COMMAND", "On"))
        logDebug("Rules.YamahaReceiver.SetPureDirectMode", "Set Pure Direct Mode: On")
        result = sendHttpPostRequest(urlString, contentType, contentString.replace("COMMAND", "On"))
    } else {
        logDebug("Rules.YamahaReceiver.SetPureDirectMode", urlString + contentType + contentString.replace("COMMAND", "Off"))
        logDebug("Rules.YamahaReceiver.SetPureDirectMode", "Set Pure Direct Mode: Off")
        result = sendHttpPostRequest(urlString, contentType, contentString.replace("COMMAND", "Off"))
    }

    // Log error if respond is not valid
    if( result != "<YAMAHA_AV rsp=\"PUT\" RC=\"0\"><Main_Zone><Sound_Video><Pure_Direct><Mode></Mode></Pure_Direct></Sound_Video></Main_Zone></YAMAHA_AV>" ) {
        logError("Rules.YamahaReceiver.SetPureDirectMode", result)
    }
end

I hope this will serve you well until it’s taken over to the official binding.

Best regards
Stephan
