Hi Kerry,

I am interested in your code. I don't have this receiver, but it would
be a choice since it can be controlled via rs232.

Maybe you can send it to the list and Bruce can include it in the
public/example code.

I am no HTML person, so I would  be no help there.

Can you point me to where you found the RS232 commands for this receiver
and if you had to build the cable, where to do that as well?

Tim

Subject: [misterhouse-users] Home Theater topics


  I have been working on a Home Theater for the past several months.
When=20
someone told me about Misterhouse, I thought that it would be great to=20
combine them (controlling AV equipment with it).
  I have a Denon 3803 AV reciever in my system, but the problem has been

that it is in another room away from the viewing room, which makes it=20
difficult to determine what is happening when I'm not getting any sound
:/.=20
I did a little research on the RS232 support that is built in to the
Denon,=20
and decided to see if I could get Misterhouse to interface with it. A
couple=20
of hours later I had an RS232->3.5mm stereo din hooked up to the
receiver,=20
and was getting and setting commands :). It is instantaneous (a plus=20
compared to some IR repeaters), and I get bidirectional feedback on
current=20
settings. I can tell it to set the input to DVD and the volume to -10 db
for=20
instance. You can do things like set up scripts that if the phone rings
and=20
the receiver is on put it on mute etc. The only thing I have yet to do
is=20
create a web page interface for it. The rs232 Perl stuff was fairly=20
straightforward, but I'm far from a html/perl web guru :(.
If anyone is interested in this let me know and I'll make the code=20
available. This Misterhouse is great, cudos to everyone that has worked
on=20
it.

Kerry
