The `mediaroom` {% term integration %} allows you to control a [Mediaroom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ericsson_Mediaroom) Set-Top Box (STB) from Home Assistant.
To add a Mediaroom STB to your installation, add the following to your {% term "`configuration.yaml`" %} file.
{% include integrations/restart_ha_after_config_inclusion.md %}
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
- platform: mediaroom
```
{% configuration %}
host:
description: The hostname or IP address of the device.
required: false
type: string
default: Tries to discovery your device.
name:
description: The name of the device used in the frontend.
required: false
type: string
default: Mediaroom STB
optimistic:
description: In case the integration cannot determine the status of the box, consider the box always ON.
required: false
type: boolean
default: false
{% endconfiguration %}
Notice that all parameters are optional, and discovery should configure everything for you.
#### Using the Mediaroom integration
The integration has been developed for Portuguese TV operators currently using the Mediaroom platform, but should also work in other deployments in which the STB can be controlled remotely through a socket on port 8082.
In most cases (single STB) you just need to setup the *platform* and discovery will do the rest.
If the STB is on the same network segment as Home Assistant, it can determine whether the device is turned on or off. Without this, the integration will fail to determine the Set-top box status, and you are required to add the *optimistic* configuration variable.
## Examples
### Example scripts
The `play_media` function can be used in scripts to change channels:
{% raw %}
```yaml
# Example play_media script to change channel
#
change_channel:
sequence:
- action: media_player.play_media
target:
entity_id: media_player.mediaroom_stb
data:
media_content_id: "{{ channel_number }}"
media_content_type: "channel"
```
{% endraw %}
The `play_media` function can also be used to trigger actions on the set-up-box such opening the videoclub:
{% raw %}
```yaml
# Example play_media script to trigger an action
#
press_button:
sequence:
- action: media_player.play_media
target:
entity_id: media_player.mediaroom_stb
data:
media_content_id: "{{ action }}"
media_content_type: "mediaroom"
```
{% endraw %}
Check [here](https://github.com/dgomes/pymediaroom) for the list of possible media_content_id's
### Example configuration with 2 STB
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry for 2 STB
media_player:
- platform: mediaroom
host: 192.168.1.64
name: Living Room STB
- platform: mediaroom
host: 192.168.1.65
name: Bedroom STB
