NOTE: THIS DOES NOT WORK YET!
Library for controlling Anthem receivers and pre-amplifiers (e.g. Statement D2) via RS232 serial connections. The structure of this library is based off pymonoprice.
This currently only supports Anthem models which communicate using Anthen's original RS232 serial Gen1 interface. For later models (while the Gen2 serial interface is still unsupported), the IP-based 'python-anthemav' library for communicating can be used.
| Model(s) | Series | Series Const | RS232 | IP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Statement D2, D2v, D2v 3D | d2 | ANTHEM_D2 | Gen1 | none |
| Statement D1 | d1 | ANTHEM_D1 | Gen1 | none |
| AVM 20 | avm20 | ANTHEM_AVM20 | Gen1 | none |
| AVM 30 | avm30 | ANTHEM_AVM30 | Gen1 | none |
| AVM 50, AVM 50v | avm50 | ANTHEM_AVM50 | Gen1 | none |
| MRX 300, MRX 500, MRX 700 | mrx | ANTHEM_MRX | Gen1 | none |
| AVM 60 | avm60 | ANTHEM_AVM60 | Gen2 | Gen2 |
| MRX 310, MRX 510, MRX 710 | mrx1 | ANTHEM_MRX1 | Gen2 | Gen2 |
| MRX 520, MRX 720, MRX 1120 | mrx2 | ANTHEM_MRX2 | Gen2 | Gen2 |
| STR amplifiers | str | ANTHEM_STR | Gen2 | Gen2 |
The list of series constants are enumerated in the SUPPORTED_ANTHEM_SERIES variable.
from anthemav_serial import get_amp_controller, ANTHEM_D2
serial_port = '/dev/ttyUSB0'
amp = get_amp_controller(ANTHEM_D2, serial_port)
amp.mute_on(1)See also example.py for a more complete example.
With the asyncio flavor, all methods of the controller objects are coroutines:
import asyncio
from anthemav_serial import get_async_amp_controller, ANTHEM_D2
async def main(loop):
amp = await get_async_amp_controller(ANTHEM_D2, '/dev/ttyUSB0', loop)
await amp.set_power(zone, False)
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main(loop))- deadlock during communication (MAJOR ISSUE)
- cannot query the existing state of the pre-amps (e.g. current volume, sources, etc)
