The `pioneer` platform allows you to control Pioneer Network Receivers. Please note, however, that the more recent Pioneer models work with [Onkyo](/components/media_player.onkyo/) platform instead.

To add a Pioneer receiver to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
  - platform: pioneer
    host: 192.168.0.10
```

Configuration variables:

- **host** (*Required*): The IP of the Pioneer device,  eg. `192.168.0.10`
- **name** (*Optional*): The name you would like to give to the receiver.
- **port** (*Optional*): The port on which the Pioneer device listens, e.g., `23` (default) or `8102`
- **timeout** (*Optional*): Number of seconds (float) to wait for blocking operations like connect, write, and read.

Notes:

- Some Pioneer AVRs use the port 23 default and some are reported to use 8102.
- `timeout` is a socket level option and should only be configured if you know what you are doing.
