Home Assistant

Denon Network Receivers

The denon platform allows you to control a Denon Network Receivers from Home Assistant. It might be that your device is supported by the Denon AVR platform.

Supported devices:

  • Denon DRA-N5
  • Denon RCD-N8 (untested)
  • Denon RCD-N9 (partial support)
  • Denon AVR receivers with integrated Network support (partial support)

To add a Denon Network Receiver to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

Telnet platform

# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
  - platform: denon
    host: IP_ADDRESS

Configuration variables:

  • host (Required): IP address of the device. Example: 192.168.1.32
  • name (Optional): Name of the device.

A few notes for platform: denon

  • The receiver handles only one telnet connection and refuses others.
  • Be careful with the volume. 100% or even 50% is very loud.
  • To be able to wake up the receiver, activate the “remote” setting in the receiver’s settings.
  • Play and pause are supported, toggling is not possible.
  • Seeking cannot be implemented as the UI sends absolute positions. Only seeking via simulated button presses is possible.
