Parameter,

Some Parameter have to be determined first by calling a "get" method first. JSON array has to be formed before calling the method.

Zones

The zone parameter is optional, you can pass a number or a string

Promises

All these methods return a promise: The resolved promise result will have been parsed from JSON into an object if the response content-type was application/json.

yamaha.powerOff().then(function(result){
	console.log("Response is" + result);
});

Discovery

There is an explicit function for discovery yamaha.discover(time). If the function is called without time, then the discovery is running for 5s. It returns an object for each device { ip, model, name, systemId, deviceId } in an array. It is not ensured that all devices are detected in this period, in the applicatian a merge of a second run might be necessary.
