    Format: [cmd2] 01 OK[data]x - e.g. power on ack "a 01 OK01x".
    Terminated with lowercase 'x'. Some volume acks show "0K" (zero-K)
    in source, likely typo for "OK".

Variables

# All settable parameters exposed via actions; no separate variable namespace needed.
# UNRESOLVED: no discrete queryable variables beyond power/input state documented

Events

# UNRESOLVED: no unsolicited event notifications documented in source

Macros

# UNRESOLVED: no multi-step macro sequences documented in source

Safety

confirmation_required_for: []
interlocks: []
# UNRESOLVED: no safety warnings or interlock procedures in source

Notes

Command format: [COMMAND_1] [SPACE] [COMMAND_2] [SPACE] [DATA_2_BYTES] [CR] Acknowledgement format: [COMMAND_2] [SPACE] 01 [SPACE] OK [DATA_2_BYTES] x DATA parameters are 2 bytes (padded with leading zero). Volume step uses decimal (e.g., 25d = 25 decimal, not hex).

RJ-45 wiring (female): Pin 1 = N/C, Pin 2 = N/C, Pin 3 = Tx, Pin 4 = Rx, Pin 5 = Gnd, Pin 6 = IR command (AMINO 140H), Pin 7 = IR command (Amino/Acentic/Locatel), Pin 8 = N/C.

Commands are ASCII, terminated with CR. Acknowledgements terminated with lowercase 'x'.

Key changes vs on-disk:
- Added verbatim `command:` to ALL 11 existing actions
- Added `power_mode_status_query` (`kq 00 ff`)
- Fixed `power_status_query` kind → `query`
- Enriched all params with source-documented data byte codes
- Added RJ-45 wiring pinout to Notes
- No TCP/IP transport — source is RS232 only despite filename
