homebridge-yamaha-avr

homebridge-yamaha-avr is a Homebridge plugin allowing you to control your AVR & any connected HDMI-CEC controllable devices with the Apple Home app & Control Centre remote! It should work with all network accessible receivers.

The Yamaha AVR will display as a TV Accessory with Power, Input, Volume & Remote Control.

Requirements

• iOS 12.2 (or later)
• Homebridge v0.4.46 (or later)

Installation

Install homebridge-yamaha-avr:

npm install -g homebridge-yamaha-avr

Usage Notes

Quickly switch input using the information (i) button in the Control Centre remote

Configuration

Add a new platform to your homebridge config.json.

You can filter the available inputs that are presented in HomeKit. The filtering is done on the "id" field, and the "id" must exactly match the name of the input on the receiver. NOTE The receiver may rename inputs, e.g. HDMI1 may become AppleTV. Use the NON-RENAMED input name as the "id".
