Homebridge-Denon-Marantz-AVR-X

homebridge-plugin for Denon and Marantz AVR control with Apple-Homekit. Works with most Denon AVR since 2011.

This is a fork of homebridge-denon-marantz-avr before it was refactored to work as a platform-plugin. For me (Marantz NR-1506 AVR) this versions (0.4) did not work very well, so I forked and continued at a state which worked for me.

Installation

Follow the instruction in NPM for the homebridge server installation. The plugin is published through NPM and should be installed "globally" by typing:

sudo npm install -g homebridge-denon-x

notes

If you are interested in setting the volume of your receiver with Siri than this plugin might be a good addition. Only remember to not tell Siri "Set the light in the Living room to 100 %" ;) homebridge-marantz-volume was written by Robert Vorthman (thanks!)
