Answer 1

All I know is that so far with denon theres is nothing but problems. I have a 4400, a 730, a heos 7 and a sound bar and nothing but problems. hdmi output failed. on my 730 last week, I contacted service at denon and so far no answer. Sound is not bad, when it work :)

Comments

I've had 2 denon receivers and used both for at least 4 years with no issues

---

@hague Heos?  

---

Nope, both are older

---

Avr-1909 and avr-1915 I believe

---

@hague I gave up trying to integrate denon heos stuff with my smartthings a while ago. Lately, when my receiver stopped working and I have no answer from denon, I consider getting rid of all their stuff and buying more reliable/solid products.  

Answer 2

I’ve got an older Yamaha that the IR died on, planning on removing it and replacing with a late 70s Pioneer, with a Sonoff for power and a Linksprite to control the speaker output. All will be in ST now, rather than Harmony

Comments

@tenpenny which Linksprite product did you use for speaker selection?  

---

@tenpenny great, thanks!  

---

Yamaha with NET, can be controlled directly from ST. But I guess yours is to old.  

---

@rosetta mine is too old for that, but the one I had worked great with Harmony until the IR sensor went bad. EQ died also, just slowly dying

Answer 3

My Denon has built in Alexa. Connected to ST via harmony hub.

Now if they'd only fix Spotify through Alexa to HEIOS *facepalm

---

@subtreasury70 alexa controllable.  

Answer 4

What are you trying to do that you cant do with a harmony hub and ST?  

Comments

@hague I believe there is a harmony triggers app in the marketplace. I do it through alexa as far as mute and turn volume up/down. create virtual switches and use web core to link your routines of if Sensor A shows no motion for X time execute switch to mute, etc. seems easier just to tell Alexa to mute as I walk out of a room. I just see too many issues with using motion sensor for something like this so I cant say I have done it, but sounds like it should be easy enough

---

@hague so have wires run into an entirely diff room?  

---

@exerciser Yes. My receiver will be in my basement and all my rooms are wired back there already.  

---

@hague oh that’s too complicated for my house setup. I just ended up buying another receiver for my bedroom.  

---

@moulin9 Yea one receiver feeds 3 separate zones for me - works great. TV in main room and music in two others

Answer 5

I ordered one but have yet to set it up

Answer 6

I use a Harmony Hub for my Denon.  

Answer 7

I have one of these and 4 HEOS amps also. Works very well using the Generic DNLA Smart App. Detects all the devices and lets me control most things I need.

Answer 8

I got my Yamaha to sync with a DH.
