The nad platform allows you to control a NAD receiver through RS232, TCP and Telnet from Home Assistant.
To add an NAD receiver to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry for RS232 configuration
media_player:
- platform: nad
serial_port: /dev/ttyUSB0
# Example configuration.yaml entry for TCP configuration
media_player:
- platform: nad
type: TCP
host: IP_ADDRESS
{% configuration %}
type:
description: Type of communication. Valid types are RS232, Telnet or TCP
required: false
default: RS232
type: string
serial_port:
description: The serial port. (for RS232 type only)
required: false
default: /dev/ttyUSB0
type: string
host:
description: The IP address of your amplifier. (for TCP and Telnet types)
required: false
type: string
port:
description: The port number of the device. (for Telnet type only)
required: false
default: 53
type: integer
name:
description: Name of the device.
required: false
default: NAD Receiver
type: string
min_volume:
description: Minimum volume in dB to use with the slider.
required: false
default: -92
type: integer
max_volume:
description: Maximum volume in dB to use with the slider.
required: false
default: -20
type: integer
sources:
description: A list of mappings from source to source name. Valid sources are 1 to 10. (for RS232 and Telnet types)
required: false
type: [list, string]
volume_step:
description: The amount in dB you want to increase the volume with when pressing volume up/down. (for TCP type only)
required: false
default: 4
type: integer
{% endconfiguration %}
The min_volume and max_volume are there to protect you against misclicks on the slider so you will not blow up your speakers when you go from -92dB to +20dB. You can still force it to go higher or lower than the values set with the plus and minus buttons.
On linux the user running home-assistant needs `dialout` permissions to access the serial port. This can be added to the user by doing `sudo usermod -a -G dialout `. Be aware that the user might need to logout and logon again to activate these permissions.
A full configuration example could look like this:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
- platform: nad
serial_port: /dev/ttyUSB0
name: NAD Receiver
min_volume: -60
max_volume: -20
sources:
1: 'Kodi'
2: 'TV'
