# Denon / Marantz Binding
This binding integrates Denon & Marantz AV receivers by using either Telnet or a (undocumented) HTTP API.
# Supported Things
This binding supports Denon and Marantz receivers having a Telnet interface or a web based controller at http://<AVR IP address>/.
The thing type for all of them is avr.
Tested models: Marantz SR5008, Denon AVR-3808 / AVR-4520 / AVR-X2000 / X3000 / X1200W / X2100W / X2200W / X3100W / X3300W / X4400H / X4800H
# Discovery
This binding can discover Denon and Marantz receivers using mDNS. The serial number (which is the MAC address of the network interface) is used as unique identifier.
The protocol will be auto-detected. The HTTP port as well as slight variations in the API will be auto-detected as well.
It tries to detect the number of zones (when the AVR responds to HTTP). It defaults to two zones.
# Thing Configuration
The DenonMarantz AVR thing requires the host it can connect to.
There are more parameters which all have defaults set.
| Parameter | Values | Default |
|---|---|---|
| host | hostname / IP address of the AVR | - |
| zoneCount | [1, 2, 3 or 4] | 2 |
| telnetEnabled | true, false | false |
| telnetPort | port number, e.g. 23 | 23 |
| httpPort | port number, e.g. 80 | 80 (1) |
| httpPollingInterval | polling interval in seconds (minimal 5) | 5 |
(1) Models >= 2016 use port 8080 and have a slightly different API
# Channels
The DenonMarantz AVR supports the following channels (some channels are model specific):

| general#track | String (R) | Title of current track |
| general#command | String (W) | Command to send to the AVR (for use in Rules) |
| Main zone | ||
| mainZone#power | Switch (RW) | Main zone power on/off |
| mainZone#volume | Dimmer (RW) | Main zone volume |
