Denon Community Driver Input (sources) on 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.
