Onkyo-RS232

A python library (and later, utility) for controlling an Onkyo or Integra stereo receiver using the Onkyo RS232 protocol. So far it has only been tested on the Integra DTM-5.9 receiver, but it should work to an extent on all Onkyo/Integra models.

For a general overview of usage, see test.py.

Requirements

• pyserial

Each receiver model has different inputs that are supported. If the input does not exist, it will not change inputs and will remain on the current input.

Tunes to the specified frequency. You must specify the band (AM, FM, and in the near future XM and Sirius) and the frequency.

To tune to 93.3 MHz, do tuneFreq('fm', 93.3). Meanwhile, to tune to 540 KHz, do tuneFreq('am', 540).

tunePreset

Tunes to a specific saved preset. The preset range is from 1 to 40.

To tune to preset 1, do tunePreset(1).
