Errors in log file for Denon AVR integration

Third party integrations
1

I have two Denon AVRs; an AVR-3313 and an AVR-1713 and they were auto discovered.

While I can see the players in lovelace and control them I have errors in the log file - 1800 rows in 9 hours and counting - looks to be the power attribute but I’m by no means a developer that understands what’s going on here. Looking at the list of “known working receivers” I found the AVR-3312 which for the purpose of integration should run the same interface.

Any idea what this means and how to resolve it?

Does anyone else get these errors? They fill up my log file and I can’t decipher what these log file entries mean

3

I have disabled this integration as I can’t decipher the errors in the log file. I also raised an issue on the GitHub repo (first time) so I hope I have done that correctly.

So at this point I’m clueless as to what else to do. If someone else has (had) issues it would be great to hear about it

Sorry for the late reply on this post… Recently moved so life’s up in the air…

I have a X6500, X3500 and HEOS Link and I don’t have this issue. The XX12, XX13 series is the older generation which did not include HEOS built in. I recently picked up a X3000 (with no heos) for outdoor speakers, once I get it connected I’ll update this thread.

One quick thought, are the receivers running the latest firmware?

Thanks for getting back.

Yes, both receivers run the latest firmware. I have setup a brand new HA instance to ensure nothing else could be interfering but I get the same errors. Have raised an issue on GitHub but no response from the code owners yet for the last 6 weeks.

I guess there’s nothing else I can do other than wait. I’m not a developer so have no idea how to troubleshoot these errors. Frustrating to say the least…

I am also getting this error message after my most recent update to HA.

I also my logs quite filled up fast with errors like that:

but I suspect this is because I switch off my Denon AVR with a zwave powerplug when it is not in used. meaning it is not even in sleep mode, it is completely OFF. and when I need it I have an automation that switches it on again. it is possibly that the DenonAVR integration does not like to have a device that is completely OFF maybe.
