JVC Projector Driver

It's not maintaining a constant connection you'll see the projector disconnect after 5 seconds. The driver does check every 30 seconds to check for power status. Is it this power status check that is interfering?

As soon as I enable the JVC driver I can't connect to it with HTWebRemote nor HomeAssistant.  I tried sending commands continuously for a minute straight and none of them were successfully sent to the projector.  As soon as I disable the driver, those commands work again.  Here is the MyServer6 output if that helps.

Ok, egg on my face. It seems your JVC projector does not automatically disconnect after 5 seconds. In todays driver update the driver will close the connection after is has obtained power status. I have no way of testing so let me know how this change works.

Ok, I'll check it out this evening and let you know.  Thanks for the quick fix.

I loaded up this new driver today and it still works with my old projector.
Thanks Dave!

I got a quick second to check this and I do see it disconnecting every 30 seconds after it checks the power state so that's good. But if you issue a command it will reconnect, send the command, and then stay connected until the next 30 second power check is done. I'm thinking it should disconnect after every command. Or maybe you leave it connected for a few seconds in case someone is navigating around the menus? Although it's a small menu so connecting/disconnecting after every command is probably good enough.

Here are the logs:
