|
Local Push | 0.37 | anthemav |
Both Anthem's current and last generation of A/V Receivers and Processors support IP-based, network control. This Home Assistant platform adds proper "local push" support for any of these receivers on your network.
Supported Models
Support is provided through the Python anthemav module. Older, RS-232 serial-based units like the D2v series use a different protocol entirely and are not currently supported.
To use your Anthem A/V Receiver in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
- platform: anthemav
host: IP_ADDRESS
{% configuration %} host: description: The host name or the IP address of the device. required: true type: string port: description: The port number of the device. required: false default: 14999 type: integer name: description: The name of the device used in the frontend. required: false type: string {% endconfiguration %}
Notes and Limitations
- The tuner is currently unsupported as are the
media_playerplay, pause, 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.
