Web based remote control for Matantz amplifier using ESP8266. Codes for "optical" and "network" remote buttons on newer amplfiifers.
This project implements web interface usable from mobile/tablet/desktop for PM series of Marantz amplifiers but likely will work with any?. It is using "Remote IN" socket and ESP8266 GPIO output. I had to connect it via diode (i used 1N5408 but +- any should work) to avoid current from amplifier to the board when infrared RC is used.
You can find more about Marantz remote socket and wire protocol in this blog post.
Project is using ESPAsyncWebServer
to provide HTTP and implements 2 endpoints: / to output HTML web page (with all embedded images and simple js) and /update?button=<id> which allows to send commands to the device. Supported ID-s are "standby, phono, cd, tuner, optical, network, dcc, tape, volume_up, volume_down". All SVG icons are embedded to the source code, you can use SPIFFS if you prefer them to be served as files.
HTML source could be found in the html.h header, it is using some rudimentary scripting (e.g. onclick instead of DOM listeners) to be compatible with my older iPad. Protocol is one-way, so its not possible to grab device status. HTTP was choosen as it is compatible with any web browser.
