homebridge-pioneer-avr is a plugin made for [homebridge](https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge),
which declare your Pioneer AVR as a TV in homekit (iOS 12.2 needed).
It should work with Pioneer AVRs supported by the iControl AV5 App. It works well with my VSX-922.

Declare your AVR as a homekit TV :
* Turn AVR On/Off
* Auto discover inputs
* Select active input in home app
* Select inputs to shown in the input list
* Save visibility status for inputs
* Rename inputs in home apps
* Control volume through the command in control center
* Control AVR with Remote in Control Center on iOS

## Installation
