+1 on Paul's suggestion.
I'm curious - do you have protocol specs? Is it this? https://www.meridian-audio.com/media/11318/meridian-automation-interface-for-ip-control-issue-4.pdf If so, I think the existing Denon plugins should definitely help. One option might be using DenonSerial in "Remote system" mode, and writing external software that would connect to the LMS command line interface and subscribe to "denonserial" commands. DenonSerial would then send notifications for the Denon TCP commands it would send (e.g. MUON for muting output) and you'd just need to translate that to the equivalent Meridian command. To keep LMS in sync with the Meridian you'd issue CLI commands mimicking a Denon, e.g. if your tool saw the speakers were "Demute" then you'd send a denonserial CLI command with MUOFF. I do plan to update my DenonSerial (which, despite the name, supports not only RS232 but also Denon's TCP protocol) to support Yamaha's YNCA TCP protocol, but I have been dragging my feet on that. When I get around to it, that will mean abstracting the general commands (power on, power off, mute, unmute, set volume to X, query for current power/volume/mute/source status), and should make it much easier to support other brands' protocols.
