The nad
platform allows you to control a NAD receiver through RS232 from Home Assistant.
To add an NAD receiver to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml
file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
- platform: nad
serial_port: /dev/ttyUSB0
Configuration variables:
- serial_port (Required): The serial port . Default is
/dev/ttyUSB0
- name (Optional): Name of the device. Default is NAD Receiver.
- min_volume (optional): Minimum volume in dB to use with the slider. Default is
-92
- max_volume (optional): Maximum volume in dB to use with the slider. Default is
-20
- sources (Optional): A list of mappings from source to source name. Valid sources are
1 to 10
.
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'
