Yamaha Python CLI

The purpose of this project was to bring controls of the yamaha receiver to the the command line.

Description

It was tricky always working with the network api for the yahmaha receiver. Most of what I wanted to do was change volume and inputs. This was formally done by running curl commands but that didnt scale so here we are.
