Pioneer Input List Blank

I'm using the plug-in successfully to turn on/off and control the volume on my Pioneer VSX-1022, but when I go to try and change use a change input action (Zone 1), the populated list of sources is all blank.

I've tried enabling/disabling, refreshing and even deleting/re-creating the device. All to no avail.

Any advice as to what to do next?

Thanks!

Hi.

Thanks for the report. That's very odd behavior. Be sure that you have no other devices connecting to the VSX-1022-K. Unlike the other VSX receivers supported by the plugin, that receiver was never designed for home automation support. The plugin essentially uses a "hack" to pretend like it's the iOS iControl AV app. But if you try to use any other instance of the iControl AV app anywhere else, it will break the Pioneer Receiver plugin's connection and may cause the issues you're seeing.

You may also try physically unplugging the VSX-1022-K from the wall and plugging it back in. This resets the virtual terminal server built-in to the receiver. Simply turning if off does not.

Aside from that possible cause, I can't think of anything else off hand. I'd probably need to see debug logs from the plugin. You can enable debug logging by going to the Plugins menu -> Pioneer Receiver -> Configure then check the "Enable debugging" check box. Once checked and saved, replicate the behavior and provide the full debug logs from the time you enabled debugging to the time the receiver was turned on and you couldn't see any list of inputs. Note that I only have the VSX-1021-K so all troubleshooting with other receivers has to be done through communication with folks like you with different receivers, so there'll likely be followup questions.

No, nothing else is connected to it. It appears as if the problem with 1022 is that it doesn't support the ?RGB command (among many others...). I found the Pioneer API document and put together some python to test out all of the published query commands. Power, Volume, Mute and Input# is about all it supports.

For the queries it doesn't support, it just replies with it's ack - 'R'.

It looks like the plugin is expecting a proper reply from the ?RGB query to populate the input name list.

But no big deal, I've modified my action group to send the raw command to select the input I want ("15FN").

Bottom line, it's like you said, the 1022's remote control interface is half-baked.

Thanks!

Thanks Chance.

Interesting. Even more so that it responds with an "R" acknowledgement of a valid command rather than an error code. I'm a little surprised no one else has come forward to report that issue with the 1022, though there probably aren't that many folks using that specific model at this point. But yea, the plugin assumes input names are editable like on the other VSX models so it's trying to get an updated list of those inputs. I hadn't allowed for the contingency of the receiver not providing names.

Yes, it is odd that it doesn't reply with an error.

Anyways, I wouldn't worry about it as it looks like I'm the only person using your plugin on a 1022 and your send raw command with some delays in an action group work just fine.

Incidentally, I'm exposing the action groups to the homekit bridge so my Wife can use her Apple watch to turn on/off/switch inputs.

For completeness' sake, a debug log is below. You can see al the 'R's it send back in response to your plugin-s queries.

Interestingly, every ~30sec it sends an ack ('R'). Like a heartbeat.
