Is it possible to send any command to the AVR?

Thanks again! I think even I can make that work!
Cheers

You can use an Automation Rule to look for change of "DVD" and then do a SetVar with "BluRay" to same value.

EDIT...looks like Dave already got it for ya.

I just pushed an update to the Denon driver. It will now automatically query the AVR for all possible status and then create the appropriate server variables. I followed, what I believe to be, the most recent Denon protocol document. Hopefully it gets you the info you are looking for.
 

Thanks Dave I appreciate you adding this! This is something that I've been wishing for for awhile now.

Hi Dave,

I'm displaying the Denon server variables {{av_<id>_source}} and {{av_<id>_surround_mode}}.
These are largely working - but SOME of the responses from them are not showing.
When watching the debug, I can see the correct source and surround mode commands triggering, and can then see the variables running.
The variable TX commands are sent correctly, and I can see the expected RX responses in the debug log.
For certain responses, the variable doesn't display on my page.
Any idea why this could be?

It seems that the 2 character source responses are being missed - all the source responses that have 3 or more responses are picked up - possibly relevant!


Some examples (these don't display the variable on my page):

This one DOES display the variable on my page:

I've setup automations to rename the responses as per your help above (thanks again!).
I'm showing both variables (source and sourcename) just to verify that my automations aren't the problem here!

I am getting an error ("Insufficent parameters for command") with my surroundmode automation, which stops the last few lines working - which I assume is because it has 55 lines (there are many potential responses!)  Is there a way around this - if it's a limitation?

Many thanks for your help - apologies for bombarding you!  Hope this makes sense...

@davep - if you have any possible solution/ comment to help me with my last post on this topic, it would be much appreciated - it doesn't seem there's anything I can do to make the two character source responses work - I think only you may be able to fix this!! (the longer source responses work perfectly!)
Many thanks!

Right you are it was ignoring two character responses.  The driver I just released eliminates that feature.
