The bluesound platform allows you to control your Bluesound HiFi wireless speakers and audio integrations from Home Assistant.

If you want to automatically discover new devices, just make sure you have discovery: in your configuration.yaml file. To manually add a Bluesound device to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml
media_player:
  - platform: bluesound
    hosts:
      - host: 192.168.1.100

{% configuration %} hosts: description: List with your Bluesound devices. required: false type: list keys: host: description: The IP address or hostname of the player. required: true type: string name: description: The name of the device used in the frontend. required: false type: string port: description: The port to communicate with the device. required: false default: 11000 type: integer {% endconfiguration %}
