Hub version 2.3.3.122 and Denon AVR-X3600H

[user2590]

Up to and including version 2.3.2.141, Hubitat built-in driver was able to communicate with my Denon AVR Receiver model AVR-X3600H. However after upgrading Hubitat to version 2.3.3.122, Hubitat is no longer able to connect to the receiver. The log shows "Error: telnet connect error: 192.168.3.177",
When I rolled back to 2.3.2.141, the communication worked again.

Can you PM me your hub's id? I'll take a look at the engineering logs on the hub.

Thank you, Victor, for your quick response.
I am not clear on the privacy implication of remote access into my hub. I included below an extract from the log: the older transactions were with firmware version 2.3.2.141. I then upgraded to the current firmware 2.3.3.122 and received the Telnet error again.

If you need further logs from the device, please advise how I can extract them and send to you.

I am not clear on the privacy implication of remote access into my hub.

I'd also like to better understand this. Can /does Hubitat have access to any hub any time it reconnects to the internet to download updates?

AFAIK, that option is not available.

An alternate Denon driver seems to work OK with the current firmware:

[BETA RELEASE] Denon AVR Driver

After a few weeks of development, I am releasing my Denon AVR Driver for some brave souls to try. It is a BETA driver, and does some VERY non-traditional driver development. It might do bad things, there is no warranty. That said, I have built this driver to be FULLY configurable so I can add children devices and ANY command easily. If you are brave, take a look! FAQ Will this work on my device? I Have no idea. This is workiing on a Denon 3400H. That being said, it is based on the API …

Hubitat staff can request to download engineering files that contain platform and hardware errors, as long as the hub is connected to the cloud.

@bobbyD

request to download engineering files

@bobbyD, just to clarify, you mean request permission to download the engineering files, correct?

[bobbyD]

@aaiyar

request permission to

Request permission from the user before we request permission from the hub

This is a red hering, there is no difference between the system and user versions of these drivers that would function differently for different platform versions...

My Denon receiver is working fine on the most current 2.3.3.123 platform version, using the built-in Hubitat driver.
