미디어룸(Mediaroom)
The mediaroom
integration allows you to control a Mediaroom Set-Top Box (STB) from Home Assistant.
To add a Mediaroom STB to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml
file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
- platform: mediaroom
Configuration Variables
- host
-
(string)(Optional)
The hostname or IP address of the device.
Default value:
Tries to discovery your device.
- name
-
(string)(Optional)
The name of the device used in the frontend.
Default value:
Mediaroom STB
- optimistic
-
(boolean)(Optional)
In case the integration cannot determine the status of the box, consider the box always ON.
Default value:
false
Notice that all parameters are optional, and discovery should configure everything for you.
Using the Mediaroom integration
The integration has been developed for Portuguese TV operators currently using the Mediaroom platform, but should also work in other deployments in which the STB can be controlled remotely through a socket on port 8082.
In most cases (single STB) you just need to setup the platform and discovery will do the rest.
If the STB is on the same network segment as Home Assistant, it can determine whether the device is turned on or off. Without this, the integration will fail to determine the Set-top box status, and you are required to add the optimistic configuration variable.
Examples
Example press_button script
The play_media
function can be used in scripts to change channels and emulate button pressing from a remote control.
# Example play_media script
#
press_button:
sequence:
service: media_player.play_media
data_template:
entity_id: media_player.mediaroom_stb
media_content_id: "{{ value }}"
media_content_type: "channel"
Example configuration with 2 STB
# Example configuration.yaml entry for 2 STB
media_player:
- platform: mediaroom
host: 192.168.1.64
name: Living Room STB
- platform: mediaroom
host: 192.168.1.65
name: Bedroom STB
