A simple script you can use to power on/off your receiver when your computer start/shuts down.
- A network enabled Yamaha® AV receiver (tested on Yamaha RX-V475)
- Python 2.7 or later
- The Requests library
Open yamaha-powersync.py and replace the IP in HOSTNAME with your receiver's IP address. Make sure you've previously assigned a static IP for the receiver.
To power on your receiver:
python yamaha-powersync.py start
To power off your receiver:
python yamaha-powersync.py stop
This step depends on your OS. If you're using Windows 8 you can use gpedit to execute scripts at startup/shutdown. The place to configure this is Local Computer Policy/Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)
