The `cmus` platform allows you to control a [cmus](https://cmus.github.io/) 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 running locally it will look like:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
- platform: cmus
```
if cmus is running on a remote server:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
- platform: cmus
host: IP_ADDRESS
password: PASSWORD
```
Configuration variables:
- **host** (*Optional*): 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
