Anthem Driver

There is discrete volume commands AV|<id>~Volume~23   0 to 100

You can also use the Test command to send any arbitrary command AV|<id>~Test~<anything you want>

 

Hi,

The issue is that it doesn't work. Tried AV|7~Volume~50 and other combinations and they don't change the volume. I know the connection is OK because some of the commands work (Vol up/down) for example. In addition, I cannot get any of the IRCmd commands to work.

FYI - My Anthem is a AVM 70 8K

The volume commands do not work with mine either, AVM60. When the volume is changed on the unit itself it does update in the driver screen.

I think you need to set it to -<num> like -35.  That said...

I just tried this with my MRX1120, seems like there's something weird going on with the commands:

27/03/2024 21:51:41.51 · DEBUG · Server.doCommand - AV|10~Volume~34 from dashboard-fx-posm
27/03/2024 21:51:41.51 · DEBUG · Anthem.doCommand - Cmd=[10~Volume~34] Client=[dashboard-fx-posm]
27/03/2024 21:51:41.51 · DEBUG · Anthem.TX: (10) - Z1VOL56
27/03/2024 21:51:41.51 · DEBUG · Anthem.RX: MRX1120 - [!RZ1VOL56]

I think my MRX1120 is expecting volume values from -90 - 0.  It looks like myServer is subtracting whatever you enter from 90.  So:
AV|10~Volume~90 results in setting my MRX to 0, AV|10~Volume~150 results in -60.  Actually it seems anything between 90 and 180 works.

Yup, AV|<id>~Volume~(90 - <desired volume>) (where <desired volume> is -90 - 0) "works"

Is there any movement on changing the behavior of the driver.  I don't want to hardcode the workaround if the behavior is going to be changed.
