I’ve been using yamahareceiver binding with OH2.1 and RX-V3900 for some time now and it is working very well. Now before upgrading to 2.2 I made a test install from scratch. The receiver is discovered just fine, but after adding to Things it does not go to Online status but stays in status OFFLINE - CONFIGURATION_PENDING Waiting for data.
The reason seems to be missing zone information from receiver side as said in menu_error:
Zone information not provided: <YAMAHA_AV rsp=“GET” RC=“0”><Model_Name>RX-V3900</Model_Name><System_ID>0CE4E483</System_ID> Y.0125.0205V119</YAMAHA_AV>
Is there a way to configure zone information manually and/or would it be possible to install main_zone as default when zone information is not provided by the receiver?
Some initial conversation was covered on the 3034 issue.
It looks that the RX-V3900 has a number of differences form the other models that the addon does not account for. Based on the provided files/requests you shared with me, I can immediately see these:
Missing Feature_Existence on the system config discovery - this is effectively causing the zones not to work for you.
Vol instead of Volume
Surround element is also handled a bit differently
There might be more…
I am working on bunch of other changes/fixes for the addon for the 2.3.0-snapshot version. When I am done with these, I could look into making the addon compatible with the RX-V3900. This would require you to:
The build JAR should be available here if anyone is interested in further testing:

Also, using a setpoint widget to control the volume instantly sets it back up again but I’m not entirely sure if thats related to this PR or just another bug in the yamaha binding.

Interestingly for RX-V3900 few users were involved in testing (here, here), but none of them reported the surround issue. My PR is already closed, I suggest to file a bug/feature request and I will include this for my next PR. Ideally, if you could make yourself available for testing this once I have the fixed version. Beyond the surround, is there anything else still not working for this model?
Regarding the Setpoint, it should work if you set the step to 1.0 or higher. At this point only integer values are supported. I remember this used to work like this 2.2.0. I also noticed this, and in my PR I tried to enable 0.5 dB increments which the AVR supports, but gave up as I was running into rounding issues when converting volume % and volume dB.
Hi Yamaha RX-V3900 users (@Hypfer, @mikkov1) I have a new version that should fix the surround program compatibility on RX-V3900. Are you able to test this on your AVR please?
Here is the addon. Just remove the stock addon and add this one to the addons folder.
I ought to mention that after the upgrade you also need to adjust your thing settings because they are are now stored under a different name (see more info here). Because of that you need to set the IP/host address of your Yamaha on the Yamaha thing and assign the zone setting on each of the zone things.
If you configued via PaperUI go to > Configuration > Things > Yamaha Receiver > edit (pencil) > Address, and also Configuration > Things > Yamaha Main Zone > edit > Zone (set to ‘Main_Zone’). If you configured via the .thing file see the updated documentation here - note the host and zone are now all lower case.
Glad to hear that. Please play with it for some time, and let me know in case you would notice anything odd.
I am also awaiting feedback from others for new features I’ve added. When this is tested I will file another PR which should be faster this time.
I did some testing, in general everything seems to work. Some notes:
PaperUI does not autodiscover yamaha bridge, adding manually from UI works just fine
after adding the bridge, zones are autodiscovered
Zone controls:
Dialogue level and Scene channels are not supported on V3900, but they are presented in available channels from zones. Not sure if this is correct or incorrect. Adding and using the channels don’t “do” anything and logs just say function is not available in your model as it should, so it does not break anything
surround mode works as it should, however there are many modes available for selection that V3900 does not support (The roxy theather, Neo:6 and PLII(x) modes). Should these come from receiver or are they hardcoded? I didn’t check if something is missing, can do that later if needed.
Surround mode STRAIGHT has small glitch, changing to STRAIGHT works but paperui channels is then left blank.
I will test Navigation and playback controls later.
Thanks for taking the time to test this. Few comments:
Re 1) Discovery - This is how it should work.
Re 2) Dialogue level, Scene channels - You will see them available always on the zone thing. For models that don’t support them (RX-V3900) the command will not have any effect and during addon init it will say in logs that these channel are not supported on your model. I just pushed a new JAR, that will not even send a single commands for these. Similar for the party channels just added.
Re 3) Surround option - The list you see in paper UI is greater than what your model supports. The expectation is that in your .sitemap, you would put options that work for your model.
Re 4) Straight in paperUI - This should now be fixed (with the new JAR I just pushed).
Regarding the navigation there was no change on them, frankly I never used them. Please check the playback.
I checked the playback and they don’t work. To my understanding playback controls are valid for Net_radio and USB inputs and they both work with same controls. Currently this is the standard status query:
