# Homebridge-Yamaha-Zone-TV
[](https://npmjs.org/package/homebridge-yamaha-zone-tv)
Homebridge plugin for multi-zone Yamaha Receivers like the RX-V1075 that creates a HomeKit TV Icon to control the receiver. A TV Icon will be created for each zone, and will be controllable by the iOS Control Centre Remote App.
The Yamaha AVR will display as a TV Accessory with Power, Input, Volume & Remote Control.
The plugin will detect inputs automatically by querying the receiver. Note that inputs with a custom name and all network applications will be visible by default. If other inputs are desired to be visible this needs to be changed in the Home app.
# Installation
Follow the instruction in [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge) for the homebridge server installation. The plugin is published through [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-yamaha-zone-tv) and should be installed "globally" by typing:
sudo npm install -g homebridge-yamaha-zone-tv
# Configuration
## config.json
- min_volume - Minimum Volume
- max_volume - Maximum Volume
- discovery_timeout - How long to stay in discovery mode, defaults to 30
- radio_presets - Create a switch for each radio preset, defaults to false ( true/false )
- preset_num - Names the switch the number of the preset, defaults to false ( true/false ). Otherwise the name is the frequency. ( useful with Siri and Alexa )
- zone - Zone name
- zone_controllers_only_for - A list of zone names for which an accessory is to be created. If no value for this key is provided, then accessories for all available zones are created.
- cursor_remote_control - If set to true the remote control will control the cursor for use with on screen display, else it will control the media playback ( true/false ).
- disable_party_switch - If set to true, a party switch will NOT be created.
- disable_main_power_switch - If set to true, a main power switch will NOT be created.
- manual_addresses - Only required if Bonjour/Autodetection doesn't work.
