Clarity hops with each new line,
Devices dance, their fates entwined.
With zones and scenes, we now can play,
A rabbit's cheer for a brighter day! 🐇✨

16-16: Approved with a minor suggestion.

The addition provides valuable clarification about the AV Control Android app's behavior for Zone2. This information enhances the document's usefulness for developers and users.

Consider adding a comma after "app" for improved readability:

-For reference, the AV Control Android app also shows volume controls for Zone2 which do not work.
+For reference, the AV Control Android app, also shows volume controls for Zone2 which do not work.

35-35: Approved with a minor suggestion for clarity.

The addition of the workaround for scene activation issues is valuable information for users experiencing this problem. It's particularly helpful that it's based on user feedback for the RX-V475 model.

To improve clarity, consider rephrasing slightly:

-As a workaround the remote codes for SCENE1 etc... can be sent. This works at least on RX-V475 based on user feedback.
+As a workaround, the remote codes for SCENE1, SCENE2, etc. can be sent. This workaround has been confirmed to work on the RX-V475 model, based on user feedback.

124-124: Approved with suggestions for clarity and consistency.

The addition provides crucial information about the limitations in detecting the AUDIO input and corrects a previous assumption about the protocol's behavior. This is valuable for developers implementing support for these receivers.

Consider the following improvements for clarity and consistency:

  1. Add a comma after "However" at the beginning of the sentence.
  2. Use consistent formatting for API commands (backticks).
  3. Clarify the correction about the request/response mechanism.

Here's a suggested revision:

-For some reason this input is _not_ reported when requesting the input names with `@SYS:INPNAME=?` (unlike AUDIO1, AUDIO2 inputs). The receiver does respond with `@RESTRICTED` when requesting `@SYS:INPNAMEAUDIO1=?` or `@SYS:TRIG1INPAUDIO1=?` instead of `@UNDEFINED`. However these responses are currently not really handled by the library. ~~Building support for that will be hard as there is not a guarenteed request/response mechanism due to the asynchronous nature of the protocol~~ (not true, a GET will result in a response or error).
+For some reason, this input is _not_ reported when requesting the input names with `@SYS:INPNAME=?` (unlike AUDIO1, AUDIO2 inputs).

However, these responses are currently not handled by the library. ~~Building support for that will be hard as there is not a guaranteed request/response mechanism due to the asynchronous nature of the protocol~~ (This is incorrect; a GET request will always result in either a response or an error).

These changes improve readability and maintain consistency with the rest of the document.

140-140: Approved with suggestions for clarity and formatting.

The additions to the "Zone A/B receivers" section provide valuable information about the different implementations of Zone A/B and their corresponding API controls. This information is crucial for developers working with these receiver types.

Consider the following improvements:

  1. For line 140, add more context:
-e.g. RX-V573?
+e.g. This behavior has been observed on the RX-V573 model (needs confirmation).
  1. For lines 150-160, improve formatting and clarity:
 On the API, this subzone is controlled by the following functions. Note that Mute only supports On/Off, not the attenuated ones on the main Mute
-```
-@MAIN:PWRB
-@MAIN:ZONEBAVAIL
-@MAIN:ZONEBNAME   # Unknown if this can actually be set on the AVR
-@MAIN:ZONEBMUTE
-@MAIN:ZONEBVOL
-```
+
+```
+@MAIN:PWRB        # Controls power for Zone B
+@MAIN:ZONEBAVAIL  # Checks availability of Zone B
+@MAIN:ZONEBNAME   # Gets/sets Zone B name (unknown if settable on the AVR)
+@MAIN:ZONEBMUTE   # Controls mute for Zone B (On/Off only)
+@MAIN:ZONEBVOL    # Controls volume for Zone B
+```
+
 Note that this variant also has the `@MAIN:SPEAKERA/B` functions. But when controlling the SPEAKERB it will power on/off ZoneB (assumption is that it works the same for SPEAKERA/MAIN zone PWR). So when implementing a client these should probably be hidden/ignored.

These changes improve the clarity and readability of the section while maintaining its informative nature.

Also applies to: 150-160


161-167: Approved with suggestions for clarity and formatting.

The addition of the "BASIC Response" section is valuable, as it highlights an important inconsistency in the YNCA protocol implementation across different receivers. This information is crucial for developers to understand the limitations of relying on the BASIC response.

Consider the following improvements for clarity and formatting:

  1. Add a brief introduction to set the context.
  2. Use more consistent formatting for emphasis.
  3. Provide a clearer example of the inconsistency.

Here's a suggested revision:

## BASIC Response

The BASIC response is a useful feature that returns multiple values with a single request, potentially speeding up the initialization process. However, it's important to note that the set of values returned is not consistent across all receiver models.

Initially, it was assumed that the BASIC response would always include all supported features. However, this assumption has been proven incorrect. For example:

- The PUREDIRMODE feature is supported on the RX-V1067 model but is not included in its BASIC response.
- Other models may have similar inconsistencies with different features.

Developers should be cautious when relying solely on the BASIC response to determine feature support. It may be necessary to implement additional checks for specific features on certain receiver models.

These changes provide a more comprehensive and clearly structured explanation of the BASIC response behavior.

35-35: Minor typographical and style improvements.

To enhance the document's readability and consistency, consider the following changes based on the LanguageTool suggestions:

  1. Line 35: Add a comma after "firmware":

    -RX-V475 1.34/2.06 (probably also RX-V575/HTR-4066/HTR-5066 as they share the same firmware
    +RX-V475 1.34/2.06 (probably also RX-V575/HTR-4066/HTR-5066 as they share the same firmware,
  2. Line 163: Replace "a lot of" with a more precise phrase:

    -The BASIC response returns a lot of values with 1 request which is nice to speed up things.
    +The BASIC response returns multiple values with a single request, which helps to speed up the initialization process.
  3. Line 165: Add a comma after "Initially":

    -Initially it was assumed that it would always respond with all supported features.
    +Initially, it was assumed that it would always respond with all supported features.

These minor changes will improve the overall quality and professionalism of the document.

140-140: LGTM! Verify impact on other parts of the codebase.

The removal of init="BASIC" for the puredirmode attribute is correct, as the comment indicates it's not part of BASIC on the RX-V1067 model. This change ensures that the attribute is not initialized unnecessarily for this specific model.

To ensure this change doesn't affect other parts of the codebase, please run the following script:

This script will help identify any other occurrences of puredirmode in the codebase, especially in relation to BASIC initialization or RX-V1067 specific code. Please review the results to ensure that this change is consistent across the project.

✅ Verification successful

Change Verified Successfully

The removal of init="BASIC" for the puredirmode attribute in ynca/subunits/zone.py is correct and confined to the RX-V1067 model as intended. All references are appropriately handled, and there are no unintended impacts on other parts of the codebase.
