Pioneer receiver - Play through Zone 2?

Hello,

I’ve a Pioneer receiver VSX-924 model.
And I’m using the following HA component to control it with script:

The only issue is: that I can’t use this component to play through Zone 2.

Have any of you tried and even managed to use any component and play through Zone 2 ?

Thanks,
Alex.

Have you tried the onkyo component, it allows for zones.

Yes, I tried the Onkio component,
Unfortunately it’s not working for my receiver… even turn_on not working.

In Onkio there is no Port number option. ?

Same question here. Did you ever figure this one out?

What model?

Are you using the pioneer integration or the onkyo one?

@nickrout , I have a VSX-LX503. It uses the old pioneer interface, not the (far more sane) Onkyo one.

In trying to answer the integration question, I realized I’m not using a Pioneer or Onkyo HA integration at all. HA automagically found the Chromecast capability of the receiver. That’s what I’ve been playing with. I have, however, also been trying to get any of the actual Pioneer/Onkyo add on integrations to work, but none seem to be able to communicate with my model. So, obviously I cannot tell the HT receiver to use Zone 2 anyway :stuck_out_tongue:
