+homeassistant.components.media_player.denon
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Provides an interface to Denon Network Receivers.
+Developed for a Denon DRA-N5, see
+http://www.denon.co.uk/chg/product/compactsystems/networkmusicsystems/ceolpiccolo
+
+A few notes:
+    - As long as this module is active and connected, the receiver does
+      not seem to accept additional telnet connections.
+
+    - Be careful with the volume. 50% or even 100% are very loud.
+
+    - To be able to wake up the receiver, activate the "remote" setting
+      in the receiver's settings.
+
+    - Play and pause are supported, toggling is not possible.
+
+    - Seeking cannot be implemented as the UI sends absolute positions.
+      Only seeking via simulated button presses is possible.
+
+Configuration:
+
+To use your Denon you will need to add something like the following to
+your config/configuration.yaml:
+
+media_player:
+  platform: denon
+  name: Music station
+  host: 192.168.0.123
+
+Variables:
+
+host
+*Required
+The ip of the player. Example: 192.168.0.123
+
+name
+*Optional
+The name of the device.
