# Emotiva Binding
This binding integrates Emotiva AV processors by using the Emotiva Network Remote Control protocol.
# Supported Things
This binding supports Emotiva processors with Emotiva Network Remote Control protocol support.
The thing type for all of them is processor.
Tested models: Emotiva XMC-2
# Discovery
The binding automatically discovers devices on your network.
# Thing Configuration
The Emotiva Processor thing requires the ipAddress it can connect to.
There are more parameters which all have defaults set.
| Parameter | Values | Default |
|---|---|---|
| ipAddress | IP address of the processor | - |
| controlPort | port number, e.g. 7002 | 7002 |
| notifyPort | port number, e.g. 7003 | 7003 |
| infoPort | port number, e.g. 7004 | 7004 |
| setupPortTCP | port number, e.g. 7100 | 7100 |
| menuNotifyPort | port number, e.g. 7005 | 7005 |
| protocolVersion | Emotiva Network Protocol version, e.g. 3.0 | 2.0 |
| keepAlive | Time between notification update from device, in milliseconds | 7500 |
| retryConnectInMinutes | Time between connection retry, in minutes | 2 |
