Denon Community Driver Input (sources) on dashboard

đź“ť Dashboards Hubitat Dashboard

Can anyone explain how I can change / select the input (sources) of my Denon AVR from the dashboard?

  • I don't care if I have to do one button per source, or if there is one buttont that lets me select or cycle through the sourcess
  • I'm using the community driver
  • I have a Denon AVR-1912
  • I'm using classic dashboards but if it would work better in EZ dash that is ok.

I believe I'm using the driver you're referring to...

You could make a dashboard button that triggers a rule. Use "custom action" to send the input:

You would need to make a different rule for each input. At least for my Marantz receiver, the names for each input are shown under "state variables":

Thank you! I think I get the gist of what you are proposing:
ie - in apps, in rule machine, I make a rule for each input source (a rule for TV, a rule for CD player, etc). Then in dashboards, I make a button for each rule. Pressing the button would run the "rule" which is actually changing the input source. Do I have that correct?

If so, I'm afraid I don't get how to actually implement it on a dashboard. Any links or other info that would explain that part?

One way would be to make however many virtual switches as you have inputs, with auto off set to 1 second:

Then add these buttons to your dashboard, with corresponding rules to change the input when pressed.

I have been looking for the driver for Marantz AV Receiver. Could you please share me the link? Thanks

There is a denon/Marantz AVR driver built into the hub firmware.

Do you need an alternative driver developed by a community member?

marktheknife: Thanks for replying. Please share me the drive developed by community member so that I can compare both as soon I receive my Marantz receiver. Thank you again

Just go to Hubitat Package Manager and search on Denon

There is no Denon AVR driver in HPM, AFAIK.

Only one I’m aware of is here:

I’ve been using the built-in driver for quite some time I’m very satisfied with it.

Thanks, I will do

When I search HPM, a Denon driver comes up, but it looks like something different than @marktheknife posted - it seems to be for Denon speakers...
When I go my driver code and open the code for the Denon AVR Master Device, which is the driver I'm using, the beginning of the info matches the text @marktheknife posted, so I guess I'm using the github one...

I REALLY wish there was some sort of consistent naming convention to distinguish by name between Hubitat native apps, and the different user apps... Once you download the drivers, when you go to the device details, device info, then click on the "Type" dropdown, there are separate sections for "System" (which I think are native Hubitat) vs "User" drivers.

Only driver I’m able to find in HPM that has anything to do with Denon is for an integration with HEOS.

That’s not a driver for local control of a Denon (or Marantz) AVR.

Right, as I wrote above, it seems to be for Denon speakers

HEOS is the name of Denon’s networked audio service.

It comes built into various models of AVRs and networked speakers.

It’s analogous to Sonos (for Denon hardware). But it’s not related to the discussion in this thread re: AVR control.
