Denon HEOS	Instructions on how to integrate Denon HEOS into Home Assistant.	heos.png	Media Player	0.92	Local Push

The HEOS integration adds support for HEOS capable products, such as speakers, amps, and receivers (Denon and Marantz) into Home Assistant. Features currently include:

• Each device is represented as a media player entity
• View the currently playing media
• Control play mode (play, pause, stop, next and previous), volume, mute and shuffle
• Clear playlist
• Select source from device physical inputs and HEOS favorites

Configuration

HEOS devices are discovered and setup automatically when the discovery integration is enabled. Alternatively, the integration can be setup through the frontend control panel integrations page or manually by adding the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
heos:
  host: IP_ADDRESS

{% configuration %} host: description: "Address of the device. Example: 192.168.1.32." required: true type: string {% endconfiguration %}

A connection to a single device enables control for all devices on the network. If you have multiple HEOS devices, enter the host of one that is connected to the LAN via wire or has the strongest wireless signal.

Services

Service heos.sign_in

Troubleshooing

Debugging

The HEOS integration will log additional information about commands, events, and other messages when the log level is set to debug. Add the the relevant line below to the configuration.yaml to enable debug logging:

logger:
  default: info
  logs:
    homeassistant.components.heos: debug
    pyheos: debug

Missing Favorites

If the HEOS controller is not signed in to a HEOS account, HEOS favorites will not be populated in the media player source selection and the service media_player.play_media for favorite and playlist will fail. Additionally, the following warning will be logged at startup:

IP_ADDRESS is not logged in to a HEOS account and will be unable to retrieve HEOS favorites: Use the 'heos.sign_in' service to sign-in to a HEOS account

To resolve this issue, use the heos.sign_out service to sign the controller into an account as documented above. This only needs to be performed once, as the controller will remain signed in while the account credentials are valid.
