| page | Mediaroom | Instructions on how to integrate Mediaroom Set-Top Boxes into Home Assistant. | 2018-01-22 22:00 | true | false | true | true | mediaroom.png | Media Player | Local Polling | 0.63 |
The mediaroom component allows you to control a Mediaroom Set-Top Box (STB) from Home Assistant.
To add a Mediaroom STB to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
- platform: mediaroom
{% configuration %} host: description: The hostname or IP address of the device. required: false type: string default: Tries to discovery your device. name: description: The name of the device used in the frontend. required: false type: string default: Mediaroom STB optimistic: description: In case the component cannot determine the status of the box, consider the box always ON. required: false type: boolean default: false {% endconfiguration %}
Notice that all parameters are optional, and discovery should configure everything for you.
{% linkable_title Using the Mediaroom component %}
The component has been developed for Portuguese TV operators currently using the Mediaroom platform, but should also work in other deployments in which the STB can be controlled remotely through a socket on port 8082.
In most cases (single STB) you just need to setup the platform and discovery will do the rest.
If the STB is on the same network segment as Home Assistant, it can determine whether the device is turned on or off. Without this, the component will fail to determine the Set-top box status, and you are required to add the optimistic configuration variable.

{% linkable_title Example press_button script %}
The play_media function can be used in scripts to change channels and emulate button pressing from a remote control.
{% raw %}
# Example play_media script

sequence:
service: media_player.play_media
data_template:
entity_id: media_player.mediaroom_stb
media_content_id: "{{ value }}"
media_content_type: "channel"
{% endraw %}
