This is a plugin for the Indigo smart home server that integrates the Yamaha RX-V series A/V receivers. The receiver must have some kind of network connection (wired Ethernet, WiFi). Serial control is not supported.
This plugin supports both the RX-V3900 and the RX-Vx73 (RX-V473, RX-V573, RX-V673, RX-V773) receiver line. Other Yahama RX-V receivers that use the same command API may also work (the RX-A3070 and RX0A1070 have been tested and seem to work.
Select the appropriate receiver when creating a new receiver in Indigo. If you choose RX-Vx73, the config dialog should show a popup with the available receivers on your network. If your network doesn't show in the list, it may be because it's not configured to operate in network standby mode. Confirm that Network Standby is turned on. If that doesn't solve the issue, you may manually specify the IP address for the receiver (your router may be blocking the discovery protocol).
The original author of the plugin (discgolfer1138) did not apply a license, so there is none. v1.0.0 and later uses a modified version of the rxv library (included in the plugin and in this repo for ease of installation). See the LICENSE file in Yamaha RX.indigoPlugin/Contents/Server Plugin/rxv for details.
The included rxv library has the following changes:
Sometimes the receiver's status will change to unavailable - this means that the plugin is having a problem communicating with it. This can happen for a variety of reasons, but one in particular seems to be an issue in our testing. When the network radio input is selected, it will periodically become busy, presumably trying to query for updated radio stations, and this will cause all other network communication to stop. So, apparently the receiver has a single network connection that it uses for everything. Unfortunately, we can't tell the difference between one of these times and when the receiver is actually offline (unplugged or otherwise unavailable on the network).

Apparently some RX receivers have 5 HDMI inputs, but the state enumeration in Devices.xml didn't have it. The ultimate fix would be to have that state enumeration generated dynamically, but this will suffice. Also attempted to add Pandora as noted elsewhere.
