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 <username>.
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'
