The cmus platform allows you to control a cmus music player on a remote or local machine from Home Assistant.

To add cmus to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file if cmus is running on a remote server:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
  platform: cmus
  host: IP_ADDRESS
  port: 3000
  password: PASSWORD
  name: Desktop Computer Music Player

if running locally it will look like:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
  platform: cmus
  name: Local Music Player

Configuration variables:

• host Hostname or IP address of the machine running cmus. Note if a remote cmus is configured that instance must be configured to listen to remote connections, which also requires a password to be set.
• password (Required if host is set): Password for your cmus player.
• port (Optional): Port of the cmus socket, defaults to 3000.
• name (Optional): The name you'd like to give the cmus player in Home Assistant
