Yamaha Configuration

In order to be able to control the device with HSYCO the Yamaha device must be connected to a LAN with a fixed ip assigned.

HSYCO Configuration

Add a YAMAHAEC I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters:

Communication

• IP Address: the IP address of the device.
• Port: the TCP/IP port used for connecting (default 80)

High Availability

• Shutdown when inactive: defaults to true.

Datapoints

For datapoints addressing a specific zone, replace <zone> with the name of the zone, i.e. use "main" for the main zone and "z2", "z3" or "z4" for the other zones (the number of zones depends on the Yamaha model).
