I gave up, spent too much time on this trying to get my receiver to
work. I ended up getting Chromecast for the TV as a workaround. I added
Chromecast to my speaker groupwhich in turn will turn on my receiver.
I have a speaker group consisting of 2 Google mini's, one Google home
speaker and a Pioneer receiver. About 2 years ago the Pioneer receiver
stopped working in the group, even though it is on the same network.
Spent days rebooting devices, doing fact...
