AV Receiver Driver Commands do not Match Labels on Device

Symptom

Commands in an AV Receiver (AVR) IP driver seem incorrect. For example, an input command switches on an input that has a different label from the command in the driver.

Quick Steps

Typically, each driver has a command that performs the desired function.

While editing the Launch of a Flow, use the "Test" option to verify the input command (or any other function you need) prior to adding to the Flow.

 

 

Background

Drivers are always written to cover a whole line of models from a given brand. The uses the command names defined by that brand's API (application programming interface). 

While all of the models from a brand may share the same API, the labels applied to each model will often differ from the name in the API. This is especially common with AVR inputs. This is a common pattern among most manufacturers.

You should expect that input commands will sometimes not match the label on the actual device. What matters is whether AVA OS has a command to perform the switching correctly. If the commands exist to allow a Flow to control a device correctly, your client will never see that the driver command based on the API does not match the label on the device.
