Control Multimedia from Home Assistant

[@Gladers.]

Awesome! Even worked "casting" those radiochannels to my google chromcast to my tv

Hey, great video for inspiration. I use Node Red for all the automations in my house because I find it more powerful, but this video is still good for inspiration.

[@AuroraPixel6]

GREAT videos! Thank you 👍🏻

[@reneb5222]

Looking good as always.

[@MrBearfaced]

When you said Hey Google stop, it made my chromecast stop playing your video 😂🤣

[@4shCZ]

Pane jo, vy jste zhubul, bomba:)

[@Tadziosek]

Nice to see you again! Interesting topic. Thx!

[@rebe7800]

Yes excelent you tell what you did

[@bruxy70]

The whole configuration is shared in the description.

[@Mrpapagiorgo]

Vidím, že používáte Symfonisk. Funguje vám přehrávání rádia z tunein na něm? Stále mi píše bad MIME-type, ale pokud najdu rádio co končí .mp3, tak jede. Díky za odpověď

[@bruxy70]

Ano, radia z tunein prehravam bezne. media_content_type davam "music"

Is there any way to remote control a cable tv box in Home Assistant without using BroadLink?

[@bruxy70]

If the box has an open API, then yes. You can check whether there is an existing integration in HA or the community store.that would be the easiest.

[@garysteo3398]

very nice job, would you mind sharing the scripts for the media player. tks

[@bruxy70]

I thought about creating a blueprint, but got stuck on that, as there are multiple automation and scripts. And they are also quite specific to my setup, with my playlists, my devices etc. So at the end, I figured that the best for everybody would be to explain that in video, so that you can create your own that fits your needs, and can do other things as well. Anyhow, here are my scripts, feel free to steal. But I think you'd have to write your own at the end. gist.github.com/bruxy70/c4d53a46a2d4898175661c3122ae5b87

@@bruxy70 i agree that I cant just use it on my side, but was just interested in the process and steps thank you for the sample

[@dnoha1]

Respect for your solutions, but I'm wondiring if NodeRed is simpler for such automations? N.R. certanly looks more intuitive and easyer for debug for someone who is not original author. It's only the question if all connectors exists in N.R. to get and set commands from H.A.

[@bruxy70]

Dariny, I did use NR initially for some automations. Yes, it looks sexy, but triggering certain things was quite complicated actually, i had to do polling. It was slower, more resource intensive. And I ended up having half automations in NR and second in HA, that was confusing. So I moved all to HA and I actually find it much easier. I did not show that, but there is a visual automation editor and quite neat debugger now.
