To use with WebSockets (best option)
Wemos D1 mini needed

1. Make sure your receiver has a static network adress
2. Install esptool.exe from https://github.com/igrr/esptool-ck/releases/tag/0.4.13
3. get the latest 2 bin .bin files from https://github.com/oepi-loepi/OnkyoSock ... 266-bridge
4. if you flash an old Wemos D1 mini, first flash the blank 4MB bin file with esptool
5. flash the Onkyo ESCP file with the flash tool

6. After this reset the Wemos D1 Mini and connect your wifi to the AutoConnectAP wifi network.

Image

7. If the configusration page does not open go to 192.168.4.1

Image

8. Enter the wifi credentials, Onkyo adress and select a static IP address for the Wemos D1 mini.

Image

9. Click Save.
10. Update your Toon to the newest firmware, Websockets plugin will be installed automatically.
11. Install the app OnkyoSocket form the Toon store.
12. Add OnkyoSocket to a tile.

Image

13. Click the tile and set the configuration parameters. To use the Socket and the Wemos, slide the top slider to the right. ESP8266 IP is the ip address of the Wemos D1 mini.

Image

14. Select "Show in Sleepmode” to have Toon to show title and artist on the screen when in Sleepmode.

Image

Image

15. Click "Save" on the right hand top corner.
16. Now put some music on the receiver (Spotify over Airplay for instance) and let the magic happen. Sometimes it will take some minutes after a new setup, this is normal..

Hi oepi-loepi,

Nice program, but why use the Wemos or Domoticz as the interface/controller? It's possible to control the Onkyo directly.

How ? The Onkyo needs TCP Packets and those are not supported by Toon.

Ah, I didn't knew that was a limitation of Toon. I thought Toon had full ethernet access.

No problem but you can easily program a wemos. And they are extremely cheap (ab. 2 euros).

Well, I replaced my Onkyo with a Denon network receiver, which also uses TCP connections.
Denon AVR Network Protocol
Communication port : TCP port 23 (telnet)

HEOS
The HEOS products can be discovered using the UPnP SSDP protocol. Through discovery, the IP address of the HEOS products can be retrieved. Once the IP address is retrieved, a telnet connection to port 1255 can be opened to access the HEOS CLI and control the HEOS system.

Thank you for creating this app. It is working very nice.

One minor problem:
I have created a tile in the wrong position.
Now I am unable to remove it. Normally I long press
A tile and than a pop-up shows. With the pop-up
I can remove the tile. But that does not work with this app. Can you tell me how I should remove it?

Best regards.

Great. Thank you. Is there any chance you can add an option for a system tray icon?

a lot of apps have an option in the settings screen to show or hide the tray icon. Could be implemented in this app as well.
