Pioneer components flaky | VSX-933 and VSX-S520D

I’m attempting to connect two pioneer receivers media players as follows:

  - platform: pioneer
    host: 10.0.1.204
    name: Living Room AV Receiver (Pioneer VSX-933)
    timeout: 5
  - platform: pioneer
    host: 10.0.1.205
    name: Lounge AV Receiver (Pioneer VSX-S520D)
    timeout: 5

HA start up log report Pioneer Living Room AV Receiver (Pioneer VSX-933) refused connection

2019-12-31
and does not show up as an entity. For the S520D; an entity is created, I am able to turn on the receiver with media_player.turn_on but am not able to turn the S520D off.

Anyone successfully operating Pioneer receivers with HA?

Use:
- platform: onkyo
name: Pioneer VSX-933
host: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Works great for me.
