Were you ever able to get the XMC-1 into HA?

If someone knows how to implement this network API in HA, that would be golden. Much better than using a Harmony of course.

Hello,
This is a piece of code, far from perfect but it works well, that I wrote for another home automation system. You may freely grab anything you may find usefull from it. It supports sending commands to XMC-1 and itach box. As far as itach is concerned, IR codes are of course specific to my gear. Some are learned, some are taken from itach database.

@pawan7lps , @kolia and @NaderMTL . If anyone’s interested, I’ve tried to write some custom services to send commands to the xmc-1 and query its state. It’s polling only - I’ll try and look at subscriptions later. I’ll post it to hacs, but you can download it as a custom hacs repo now if you want to try it. peteS-UK/xmc: Send commands from Home Assistant to Emotive XMC-1 (github.com)

Let me know if you’re able to give it a try and if it works OK etc.

kolia · March 23, 2024, 2:09am

Thank you for this new integration. I don’t have much time right now but I will certainly give it a try and send feedback here.

psketch · March 30, 2024, 3:52pm

@kolia I’ve updated it a couple of times, and I think it’s all working nicely now. It’s a service at the moment, as that was the easiest way to get the functionality going. I’ll try and turn it into a device at some point but let me know if there’s anything you find or more functions that would be handy.

kolia · April 1, 2024, 5:33pm

Thanks for this update. Is display brightness supported? Do you have some examples to illustrate how to use the 3 services?

psketch · April 1, 2024, 11:10pm

Brightness isn’t supported at the moment, but I can easily add anything that’s in the list of supported commands, which is below. More likely, I’ll add an “other” option, else the list will get rather long…

It’s 3 custom services. So, once installed, you’ll have 3 new services you can use in automations, scripts etc…

If you want to just test them, look at the services tab in Developer Tools and search for the xmc services

Once you’ve done an update_states, you’ll get a bunch of states (e.g. Power, Input etc.), that you can use as conditions etc…

OK - I posted a new version (1.2), which supports all of the above commands (listed in a dropdown in the send_command service. So, you can set anything that the XMC supports. I also added the ability in the update_state service to monitor any of the 40 or notifications that the XMC supports - i.e. you could create a trigger based on a change of any state - e.g. you could trigger on the change of video format if you felt inclined.

I’ve also added some usage examples to the readme.md on github

Thanks a lot for this work and the interesting additions. I’ll keep you posted when I’ll have time to use it. Let me know whether Brightness is something you could add in the near future. I never succeeded to make it work, I suspect the API documentation is incomplete.

psketch · April 2, 2024, 4:50pm

It should be supported now - there’s a command and notification for “dim”, which cycles through the settings. I’ll try it later - my xmc’s in a av room, so I never see the screen.

psketch · April 2, 2024, 5:41pm

@kolia, sadly you’re right. It looks like the API doesn’t work for dim. Calling the command just pops up the current setting on the fp, but calling it again doesn’t cycle through as it should. I guess the api just doesn’t work I’ll try sending them a note to see if they have any feedback, but don’t hold my breath. I tried various other settings, but didn’t get anywhere. I also tried the “unofficial Emotiva Remote” app on my (android) phone, and it does exactly the same with with dim setting.

kolia · April 2, 2024, 6:54pm

well at least your findings confirm my own experience. I was hoping that you found a trick to get it work by sending some kind of magic command.
Edit : as a last resort, since I have an itach ir directly connected to the xmc ir interface, I may succeed to’use Brightness this way

psketch · April 2, 2024, 7:35pm

It seems like it doesn’t even work in their “official” app - https://emotivalounge.proboards.com/post/1069066. Yes, I have a cable based IR connection from my hub as well, and the IR codes are supposed to work. Never tried them for Dim as the XMC’s in a rack so I don’t see it, but I’ll give it a go if I get a mo.

psketch · April 3, 2024, 12:05pm

OK - just to confirm. The IR command for DIM does cycle through the brightness (in my case sent through a Philips IR extender via cable), but the network API version of the command just pulls up the current status and never cycle through. Comment on the emo website suggests that the XMC-2 has the same problem. I’ve asked Emo a question, but not expecting a response tbh.

@kolia and everyone. I had some time over the weekend, so got a chance to turn the services into a media player component. So, it’ll now search for your processor and add as a new entity called media_player.emotivaprocessor which you can control using a normal media player card. It also has the service to allow you to send any command still (emotiva.send_command). I haven’t had a chance to update the docs yet, but the repo is now at https://github.com/peteS-UK/emotiva/. Add it as a custom repo. It now supports configuration flow in HA rather than having to do it manually in configuration.yaml, and will now show a normal integration and entity within the UI. Basically, it’s now a full media player component and seems to work fine.

Hello everyone.
I implemented this integration to command my Emotiva RMC-1. Some commands work perfectly and others don’t. For example, the volume control control works correctly:

type: ‘custom:button-card’
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: emotiva_xmc.send_command
target: {}
data:
Command: volume
Value: ‘+1’
entity: emotiva_xmc.processor
name: ‘Volume Up’
icon: mdi:volume-plus
hold_action:
action: none
template:
- button_icon_square
- feedback_click

while others instead of executing the command open the processor status page. For example, the command to select the source:

type: ‘custom:button-card’
name: ‘HDMI 1’
icon: mdi:hdmi-port
tap action:
action: call-service
service: emotiva_xmc.send_command
target: {}
data:
Command: hdmi1
Value: ‘0’
entity: emotiva_xmc.processor
template:
- button_square
- feedback_click

Where am I going wrong?

psketch · May 2, 2024, 5:26pm

Hi @flavio61 . There’s a much newer version of the integration at peteS-UK/emotiva: Create Home Assistant Media Player for Emotiva Processors (github.com) Use this one instead - it’ll give you a full media player component as well as the other service same as before.

Having said that, I’m glad to hear that some work (at least). Try the new version of the integration, and then report back on how it works - I have an XMC-1 so can’t test it on RMC, but the API is supposed to be largely common. I’ve tried asking Emotiva support for the RMC/XMC-2 API but without any luck getting a response.

BTW - If it’s as simple as something like the RMC having different input names, we’ll be able to see that in the debug. Basically, when something changes on the processor, it sends out a notification if you’re subscribed to that change. So, if you change the input on the RMC (e.g. by the IR remote or using the buttons), it’ll send out a packet saying “source = HDMI2”, and we can use that to see what the correct commands are - the notifications and the commands are use the same data. Once you’ve installed the new integration, you can enable debug logging on the device it creates and then capture the logs…

Thanks Peter,
I hadn’t seen this new version of the integration. I have already removed the old integration and installed the new one, although to install it I had to use the manual option because the one from HACS didn’t work for me. In HACS I added your repository and it shows it but after rebooting HA it disappears. Having installed it manually, won’t it update automatically? Tonight I’m going to start programming my tablet and let you know how it goes on my RMC-1. Thank’s for all.
