Hi all,
I want to add my Yamaha RX-A740 receiver to Home Assistant (HA).
In a previous install of HA that worked for a short amount of time (a couple of weeks ago), but I have no idea anymore why it worked at that instance. Since, I moved on to an installation of HA (core-2021.11.2) on a Raspberry Pi 4.
I already tried multiple things such as running the discovery mode or adding the receiver manually in configuration.yaml. All without succes.
Below you can find the log when adding the receiver manually. Note that I can go to http://rx-a740-b58dc70:80/YamahaRemoteControl/desc.xml in my browser.
I also looked around for an answer on (probably) the important question in this case: is my receiver compatible with HA. Since it is not an RX-V one, I’m doubting it is (but then again, why did it work for an instant previously?).
I would appreciate some help or clarification on this topic.
PS: I’m a newbie to Home Assistant
