Onkyo Release Notes

Introduction

You can integrate the Onkyo receiver to a ClareHome control system so that your customers can send commands to the receiver from their Android smartphone or iOS device. ClareHome supports the following features:

• IP control
• Volume, including mute
• Media source
• Main zone support

The Onkyo receiver integrates with the ClareHome system in a way similar to other entertainment device integrations. All entertainment integrations share a common UI, so that the user experience is consistent.

A qualified installation technician should install the Onkyo Receiver. Refer to the installation instructions that came with your Onkyo equipment.

Note: You must set a static IP address for your receiver.
