Remotely powering up an EU model STR-DN1080?

grolschie

@juanjo-lopez Hi. It's basically what my app 'StrRemote Pro' does. However, even though MyAV calls it "WOL", it's not. It's actually Network Standby.

@juanjo-lopez Works like a charm! You're the random guy to me and fixed a issue that bothered me for quite some time!

Thanks man!

I'm not 100% sure how but I but currently have WoL working for both EU and US version of str-dn1080...
with quickStartMode: off and wolMode: on on both (haven't tested the power consumption so I don't know if EU is truly "off", but I can't connect to the api before sending the WoL on ether and the devices looks powerd off ).

I'm currently using a mac with the command

wakeonlan -i 255.255.255.255 -p9 XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

where XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is the mac address to the wi-fi dont have any eth connected for the moment to any device.

On both devices the display turns on and looks redy to use, but on the US version I can query any function directly (sony music center app also works) but on the EU model I have to first send a setPowerStatus to "active" before I can send any other message (and the sony music center app don't work).
It also takes longer that expected some times (up to 20 sec) and I also have to send the WoL multiple times some times, from then I have sent the WoL before the device starts to turn on. So currently I running a loop sending WoL untill the API response then send a setPowerStatus "active", and it looks like it works.

Will test some more but this is the current status.

@david, very interesting discovery. Thanks. This may explain why it works for some and not others.

@cjb Is Network Standby still working for you after the most recent firmware update? ~~I have had one report so far that it doesn't.~~

EDIT: False alarm perhaps. No other reports of failure. And one user confirms it's still working with EU models after the update.

@david is there a way via the API to detect the region of the AVR please? Trying to anticipate problems due to the latest firmware release.

david

@grolschie Sorry don't know of anyway of detecting the region via the API.

@david thank you anyway.
