I'm partly new to Automator and since there is no application for Mac to control my Pioneer AVR I use some commands in the Terminal. But I'd like to automate some of my commands with the terminal. I have to say that I don't know much about the Terminal and Networking. But I know that it's not so easy in Automator or in Xcode (with swift) like in the Terminal. In the Terminal I use this code:
telnet vsx-923.fritz.box.
Response:
Trying 123.456.789.10...
Connected to vsx-923.fritz.box.
Escape character is '^]'.
BridgeCo AG Telnet server
vd //which means Volume down
Response:
FL004D2E564F4C20202D33302E356442
VOL100
In Automator in the Shell-Script I typed
telnet vsx-923.fritz.box.
vd
Where I got the error "Connection closed by foreign host."
In a forum I found out that I had to use echo
why I get a response now.
But If I type in
telnet vsx-923.fritz.box.
echo 'vd'
I only get the response that the avr is connected but for the Volume I don't get a response.
In the future hopefully I am able to build an application, but for now It'll be enough to make it this way. I hope you can help me with the solution. Here you get the PDF of the pioneer commands if you'd like to have them. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/StaticFiles/PUSA/Files/Home%20Custom%20Install/VSX-1120-K-RS232.PDF
Thanks in advance.
