Monoprice 6-Zone Amplifier	Instructions on how to integrate Monoprice 6-Zone Home Audio Controller into Home Assistant.	Media Player	0.56	true	Local Polling	@etsinko @OnFreund	monoprice

The monoprice platform allows you to control Monoprice 6-Zone Amplifier using a serial connection.

Configuration

Menu: Configuration -> Integrations.

Click on the + sign to add an integration and click on Monoprice. Select the serial port to which Monoprice amplifier is connected, and name the six sources (leave sources you're not using empty).

Sources can also be later edited from the integration options (gear icon in the top right when selecting the integration). Note that editing sources will remove the snapshot you may have saved.

Zone Management

Devices and entities are created for each of the possible 18 zones, and can be enabled, disabled and renamed through regular Home Assisant methods. By default, the first 6 zones (11..16) are enabled, and there's an attempt to automatically detect the 12 extension zones (21..26, and 31..36) on the first run.
