Defaults to 14999. +- **name** (*Optional*): The name of the device used in the frontend. + +## Notes and Limitations + +- The tuner is currently unsupported as are the `media_player` play, pays, + prev, and next controls. + +- Enabling this platform will set and enforce "Standby IP Control On" in your Anthem + device. You almost certainly want this. If you disable it on the device, it + will just get re-enabled by Home Assistant. + +- Only Zone 1 is currently supported. + +

+ This platform will maintain a persistent connection to the network control + port which will prevent any other application from communicating with the + receiver. This includes the Anthem iOS and Android remote control apps as + well as the ARC-2 Anthem Room Calibration software. You will need to disable + this platform and restart Home Assistant if you want to use another + application that makes use of the network control port. +

+ *The underlying Python module has hooks for halting and resuming the network + connection but those functions are currently unsupported by the Home + Assistant platform.* +
