The one under the Basic_Status is only to GET the volume level.

The first example: <Main_Zone><Vol><Up_Down>Up</Up_Down></Vol></Main_Zone>
will increase the volume.

If you have a need to set the volume at a specific volume it is a bit different but you can use this:

<Main_Zone><Vol><Lvl><Val ...

I will give you an example:

A sample put for volume up (same as pushing the up on the remote)
1. As you look at the xls function tree On yours the 1st column it is Main_Zone. this means your string goes like this <Main_Zone></Main_Zone>
2. 2nd column is Vol -> <Main_Zone><Vol></Vol></Main_Zone>

Works fine here with a RX-V1600.

Thanks @Illuminator. Will try if I can't get the present approach to work. In the interim, what additional would I need to be able to use ...

You have to use the xls file to see the structure of your receiver (as a reference). It doesn't have to be in the plugin folder.

On the function Tree worksheet you can select either the put or get command. Then select the item in the tree itself. Click on the ether button. Then in notepad or some ...

Updated GitHub.
The SendAnyCommand is what I created. This will allow people to use the xls function tree documents that Yamaha puts out for most models. Below are two that I have.

Thanks for your speedy response.Should I place the xls file in the plugin folder? You had indicated that I would ...

lja,

When your model came out Yamaha was still developing their YNC communication setup. There are a lot of actions that will not work, even some of the core functions.

I found a valid function tree for the v3900 and there are numerous differences. Even the reference location for the volume is ...

Re my above post, I get the following error:

Command did not go to Yamaha Receiver, error not possible to set on this model.

I have a Yamaha RX-V 3900. I have turned on Network Standby and can get the receiver to turn on and off. However I have been unable to get the increase volume and decrease volume to work. Can anyone share their setup to help? Thanks.

Thanks. Will have a look.

Hi lja,
try using the device command that sets it to a specific value. This of course is assuming you are using a dimmable light switch.

The other option is to setup a scene with the desired level and use the scene on command recalling the scene you setup.

Hope this helps.

Thanks ...

I have been able to get my lights to turn off on start of movie, on with pause and on with stop using my remote. I would like to have the lights dim on pause rather than on bright. I am using the 2412n. Can anyone help with this? Thanks in advance.
