BenQ Projector Binding

This binding is designed to interface with BenQ projectors that have an RS232 interface on them that accepts the commands documented by BenQ here.

The binding has been tested with the following models:

• BenQ W1070
• BenQ W1080

Status

This binding is current in Beta state with the following commands implemented:

Command	Query	Set	Comments
Power	Y	Y
Mute	Y	Y
Volume	Y	Y
Source	Y	Y	Can be returned as either a string or number
Lamp Time	Y	N

Transports

The binding support transport using a TCP/IP to RS232 converter or via a direct RS232 interface.

USR-TCP232-2 is a known working TCP/IP to RS232 converter.

Binding Configuration

This binding can be configured in the file services/benqprojector.cfg.

Property	Default	Required	Description
mode		Yes	controls how the projector can be reached. serial is for a directly connected RS232 serial interface while network is for using a TCP/IP to serial converter
deviceId		Yes	if mode is network, value should be set to the <hostname>:<port> of the CP/IP to serial converter if mode is serial, value should be <device>:<speed>, where <device> is the name of the serial port device and <speed> is the bitrate (defaults to 57600 if not given)
refresh		?	Polling interval in milliseconds, for example 15000 (15 seconds)
