The itunes media player platform allows you to control iTunes from Home Assistant. It uses a 3rd party server that you run on your Mac called itunes-api. Play, pause or skip songs remotely on iTunes running on your Mac.

In addition to controlling iTunes, your available AirPlay endpoints will be added as media players as well. You can then individually address them and turn them on, turn them off or adjust their volume.

{% linkable_title Configuration %}

To add iTunes to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
  - platform: itunes
    host: 192.168.1.50

{% configuration %} host: description: The IP of the itunes-api API, e.g., 192.168.1.50. required: true type: string port: description: The port where itunes-api is accessible, e.g., 8181. required: false default: 8181 type: integer {% endconfiguration %}
