If you have a Pandora account, you can control it from Home Assistant with this media player.
{% linkable_title Installation of Pianobar %}
This media player uses the Pianobar command-line Pandora client, which you have to install separately. This can be done on a Raspberry Pi 2 with Raspbian Jesse as follows . (Note: Other platforms may have different installation processes)
Install the following dependencies:
$ sudo apt-get install git libao-dev libgcrypt11-dev libfaad-dev libmad0-dev libjson0-dev make pkg-config libav-tools libavcodec-extra libavcodec-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libavfilter-dev libavformat-dev
Now clone the Pianobar repo and build pianobar:
$ git clone https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar.git
$ cd pianobar
$ make clean && make
$ sudo make install
Configure Pianobar to auto-login and start playing a station (optional, see man pianobar) by creating and editing the ~/.config/pianobar/config file:
password = Password
user = you@youraccount.com
Test it out by running pianobar in the command line. You should be able to listen to your Pandora stations.
{% linkable_title Configuration in Home Assistant %}
The Pandora player can be loaded by adding the following lines to your configuration.yaml:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
- platform: pandora
That's it! Now you will find a media player. If you click it you will find all your stations listed as different sources. If you switch to one, the station will begin playing.
