homebridge-pioneer-SC-LX88

This project was forked from homebridge-pioneer-avr. homebridge-pioneer-avr is a plugin made for homebridge, which declare your Pioneer AVR as a TV in homekit (iOS 12.2+ needed). It should work with Pioneer AVRs supported by the iControl AV5 App.

For me (Pioneer SC-LX88) the original module made my homebridge crash while checking the available inputs. So I changed some settings in order to finish scanning the inputs with no crashing.

Features

Declare your AVR as a homekit TV :

• Turn AVR On/Off
• Auto discover inputs
• Select active input in home app
• Select inputs to shown in the input list
• Save visibility status for inputs
• Rename inputs in home apps
• Control volume through the command in control center
• Control AVR with Remote in Control Center on iOS
