bencouture/denon-rest-api repository overview

⁠denon-rest-api

⁠Summary

This application creates a REST API that can be used to send commands to a Denon AV receiver over a network connection. This was tested with my Denon AVR-E300, but should be compatible with other Denon network-attached receivers.

⁠How to use

1. Install Node (http://nodejs.org⁠) and execute npm install in the root directory of this project.
2. Run node server.js [ip address of receiver] [optional port] to launch the web server.
3. Send GET commands to http://localhost:[port]/api/[command⁠]

⁠Notes

• Port 8000 is the default port if none is specified.
• The full list of valid commands is available in the included protocol PDF from Denon.
• You may need to adjust settings on your receiver to allow remote network control of your device.
• This application communicates with the receiver via the factory-provided telnet API.

⁠Examples

'http://localhost:8000/api/SIDVD'     //Sets Input to DVD   
'http://localhost:8000/api/SITUNER'   //Sets Input to TUNER   
'http://localhost:8000/api/PWON'      //turns PoWer ON
