I have added the Denon driver to my C8, and I can control volume from the details page of the device. I can control the volume by clicking on the buttons, but am unable to figure out how to do it through Rule machine.
Ultimately I want to control the volume by using a Lutron Pico remote. I have added the Pico, and used button controller to set up up the pico.
It is from there I am lost what is the proper way to create a rule that can allow me to use mute, volume up and down on the Pico?
I am able to set up the app to set the volume to a set level, but I want to have a pico button be a volume up button, and another pico button to be volume down
You can use Button controller app. You set an action for each of the Pico buttons. Itâs not obvious (until you know) how to see all commands available for the Denon. What you need to do for your actions is ârun custom commandâ, select the capability as âactuatorâ, then pick your Denon device from the list. Thatâll allow you to see the full list available in the driver including âvolumeUpâ and âvolumeDownâ. Youâll probably want a way of using the button to increase by an increment otherwise youâll be only increasing 0.5 for each press (frustrating). There may be a way to use double tap or held for that. Perhaps someone may know how to look at the current volume and do +2 or -2âŚ.
Edit: Ignore setVolume as the selected command below - both volumeUp and volumeDown are available
I have several 5 button Picos around the house that control volume for the room the Pico is located. I am using a Juke Audio multi-zone amp for these rooms, not a Denon AVR, but I do own one for my main family room (so familiar with its capabilities). Personally I use the middle round button for mute, the up arrow button just above for "volumeUp" and the down arrow just below for "volumeDown". Those are commands that are available on the Denon and other "music players".
Your Denon device even has a preference to set how volumeUp and volumeDown work:
