# Nuvo Grand Concerto & Essentia G Binding

This binding can be used to control the Nuvo Grand Concerto or Essentia G whole house multi-zone amplifier. Up to 20 keypad zones can be controlled when zone expansion modules are used (if not all zones on the amp are used they can be excluded via configuration).

The binding supports three different kinds of connections:

  • serial connection,
  • serial over IP connection,
  • direct IP connection via a Nuvo MPS4 music server

For users without a serial connector on the server side, you can use a USB to serial adapter.

If you are using the Nuvo MPS4 music server with your Grand Concerto or Essentia G, the binding can connect to the server's IP address on port 5006.

You don't need to have your Grand Concerto or Essentia G whole house amplifier device directly connected to your openHAB server. You can connect it for example to a Raspberry Pi and use ser2net Linux tool (opens new window) to make the serial connection available on the LAN (serial over IP).

# Supported Things

There is exactly one supported thing type, which represents the amplifier controller. It has the amplifier id.

# Discovery

Discovery is not supported. You have to add all things manually.

# Binding Configuration

There are no overall binding configuration settings that need to be set. All settings are through thing configuration parameters.

# Thing Configuration

The thing has the following configuration parameters:

Parameter Label Parameter ID Description Accepted values
Serial Port serialPort Serial port to use for connecting to the Nuvo whole house amplifier device a comm port name
Address host Host name or IP address of the machine connected to the Nuvo whole house amplifier serial port (serial over IP) or MPS4 server host name or ip
Port port Communication port (serial over IP). ip port number
Number of Zones numZones (Optional) Number of zones on the amplifier to utilize in the binding (up to 20 zones when zone expansion modules are used) (1-20; default 6)
Sync Clock on GConcerto clockSync (Optional) If set to true, the binding will sync the internal clock on the Grand Concerto to match the openHAB host's system clock Boolean; default false

Some notes:

  • If the port is set to 5006, the binding will adjust its protocol to connect to the Nuvo amplifier thing via an MPS4 IP connection.

  • MPS4 connections do not support custom commands using SxDISPINFO including those outlined in the advanced rules section below.

  • If a zone has a maximum volume limit configured by the Nuvo configurator, the volume slider will automatically drop back to that level if set above the configured limit.

  • Source display_line1 thru 4 can only be updated on non NuvoNet sources.

  • The track_position channel does not update continuously for NuvoNet sources. It only changes when the track changes or playback is paused/unpaused.

  • On Linux, you may get an error stating the serial port cannot be opened when the Nuvo binding tries to load.

  • You can get around this by adding the openhab user to the dialout group like this: usermod -a -G dialout openhab.

  • Also on Linux you may have issues with the USB if using two serial USB devices e.g. Nuvo and RFXcom. See the general documentation about serial port configuration for more on symlinking the USB ports.

  • Here is an example of ser2net.conf you can use to share your serial port /dev/ttyUSB0 on IP port 4444 using ser2net Linux tool (opens new window) (take care, the baud rate is specific to the Nuvo amplifier):
