homebridge-marantz-volume

Marantz Receiver plugin for homebridge: https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge

This plugin allows you to control your Marantz receiver volume with Siri, with commands like "set the stereo volume to 25%". Your receiver will appear as a light bulb in HomeKit, this is so the brightness characteristic of a light bulb can be leveraged as a way to set the receiver volume by using Siri. Unlike other light bulb HomeKit accessories, this plugin ignores power state commands (on/off), this is to avoid having your receiver turn off if you tell Siri to "turn off all the lights".

This plugin controls VOLUME ONLY. For powering on your Marantz/Denon, see https://github.com/stfnhmplr/homebridge-denon-marantz-avr by stfnhmplr

This plugin may also work with Denon receivers. Contact me if you have verified this plugin working with a Denon receiver so I can update this readme.
