Home Assistant How To - get Radio Stations integrated

[@walterwhite9098]

This is amazing!! I just installed Home Assistant, and I am absolutely mindblown. After years of using TuneIn on my Nest Mini I feel finally like I can breathe! THANK U !!

[@BeardedTinker]

Great to hear! Don't forget to check my Music Assistant video too. It adds some other options to playing media.

[@clairerovic]

I must say I do enjoy your channel - especially some of the deeper dives (for me) this was perfect to take my knowledge level up one notch. This worked beautifully and very happy with the outcome, just for fun I added the below to stop the speaker. Especially as the stream was often out of sync from the initially started stream. Anyway off to discover how to move the stream easily. Have an awesome 2022. radio_play: alias: Play Radio on Chromecast sequence: - service: media_player.turn_off entity_id: - media_player.lounge_speakers - media_player.study_speaker - media_player.master_speaker - service: media_player.volume_set

Thank you Claire very much - really appreciate your comment!!! Check also this link here - github.com/BeardedTinker/Home-Assistant_Config/commit/f80c4c63ffbe272e75c7338ccdf25283f76f6a79 I've improved and added some things like the STOP you also added, but also mute, volume up/down etc.

thank you for a great video! unforetnly my result is - entity not available input_select.radio_station and the same for input_select.radio_speaker and the same for input_select.radio_volume..... i did everything step by step like you did... what am i doing wrong?

[@tdse2504]

Hi BeardedTinker! Thank you for your tutorials. I tried this one but it does not work with “Chromecast-Buitin” on my my Pioneer AVR. It seems to be a problem in general since normal apps do not work with chromecast either. I installed an integration (onkyo) which works properly and I can change the volume, the source, and switch it on and off. With the following automation I can change the radio (dab) channels with 1 automation for each channel ( shell_command: onkyo_command: onkyo --host {{ ip }} {{ cmd }} ): 'xxxxxxxxxx': alias: 107.7 sequence: - service: shell_command.onkyo_command data: ip: 192.168.9.28 cmd: preset=6 - delay: 1 Could you please outline how to change your approach so that I can use my channels with your solution. Thank you. Thomas

Hi BeardedTinker, nice and clear tutorial. Just a question. i want to switch my Denon receiver to the correct source (Network) when choosing the Run command. do you think that this is possible?

[@BeardedTinker]

Sorry for a late reply. Really not sure. Never played with Denon receiver. One possible way is to add change source in script so it changes it to one you need when you hit run. Or create automation that would be triggered by service. But this is just my guess as I didn't try anything like that.

[@Runehorn]

This looks like a nice system, whenever I get my house smart speakered up, I will give it a go.

[@BeardedTinker]

And it really woks nicely. You can also check my repository on GitHub, I've extended this a bit there to include also radio station logos.

[@EsotericArctos]

Thank you for this. I have worked on a few scripts in the past, but grabbing the URL for radio stations seems to be trickier than it looks. Anyway, another thank you as this is helpful to me :)

[@BeardedTinker]

Thanks for the comment Brendan! Yes, getting URL is annoying - most of the radio stations are free to air and still getting direct URL feels like you need to hack instead of being more openly available. Hope you'll enjoy this!😉

[@wvidal2007]

Hi it is a great video. But I could not play in my Bose 500. Any hints?

[@BeardedTinker]

Sorry for a late replay - not sure really. It is can be added as media player it should work. But also depends on what kind of audio streams it can play. Google speaker (while low in audio quality) have a large range of supported formats. Some others can't play all types of the stream.

[@hot_dammn9025]

Awesome video and explained very well. I am just starting out with home assistant and have learnt so much from your explanations. I was wondering. Is it possible to cast the radio to a group of speakers through out my house, so it is playing everywhere? Can this also be done with Sonos or Bose speakers as well? Thank you!

[@BeardedTinker]

Welcome to HA club :) and thank you for your comment! There are few ways on how you can do group streaming. You can create media_player group (www.home-assistant.io/integrations/media_player.group/) This is simplest way to do it. Other thing what I did was create group inside Google Home App and this group is then also pushed and available in Home Assistant. Sonos should work with this script too, but I think it needs radio station name (Display name) to play it, and not URL. I haven't got a single Sonos speaker to test it, but I know some are using this with them.

[@gyorgysodar]

This is a great and very usefull video. Thank you to create it! All steps was really clear for me. Only the last steps when I called Play Radio on Chromecast script (script.radio_play) is not visible in my list. Do I need to create this script separately, or have I done something wrong? Thank you!

[@BeardedTinker]

Sorry for a late reply - yes, you need to copy the script to and put it under your other scripts. Here is link to my repository and this play script: github.com/BeardedTinker/Home-Assistant_Config/blob/master/scripts/radio_play.yaml

Hello I need a little help. How to all music to HA? Do I need a normal speaker? Can I do it without chrome cast or any other outside of my network clolds like google? I;m looking for 5 days now ....

[@BeardedTinker]

If you have local music, you can use samba share to expose it to HA and than use any media_player you have to play it on that speaker. But you need to have media_player already available in HA.

[@herxemer007]

Nice Video. Does it work with Sonos speakers?

[@BeardedTinker]

If I remember correctly, yes. I don't have them myself, but I think someone posted that it works. If it can be added to Home Assistant, and if it is seen as media_player, then the only possible problem could be media stream format. And most should play on Sonos.

[@ninasmart3103]

I really enjoy your videos they have helped me so much. I am just starting out and you are my go-to when I need help. I am however having a problem this time. I was able to pull the URL streams for a few stations, but I am not able to locate them on a few other stations. They do not display media as file type, however, there are a number of mp2t files. How do I get the URL in those cases?

[@BeardedTinker]

Much appreciated Nina!! OK - so unfortunately, not all stations can be played this way - most can, but some can't. MP2T if I'm not mistaken is video stream and that will not work. Google is picky about what it allows to be played, but not as picky as Sonos for example.

Yet again a nice tutorial!!! I love it and set it up directly. I would like to the same with youtube music in combination with the mini media player that is in HACS. Aby plans for that :D ? I love your work sir!

[@BeardedTinker]

If I remember correctly, you need to change in script meda_type to TUNEIN, and then instead of URL copy exact name of radio station from TuneIn. BUT!!! Looks like 2022.3 version of Home Assistant will introduce embedded radio player, so you may wait for that one and see if it will fit you more.

[@meluvalli]

For some reason, I can't get this to work. I'm trying to do it with an Alexa. I have my speaker setup, it sets the volume correctly, but then when it goes to stream the music Alexa says: "Sorry, text to speech can only be called with the notify.alexa_media service" It doesn't start the stream. I even tried one of the streams you have in the video.

[@BeardedTinker]

I've replied you on Discord. But short answer here. content_type: should be TUNEIN for Alexa And I think instead of radio URL, you need to use name of radio station from TuneIn.

[@mongizeglam5168]

Hi ,thks for the tutorial,tried with echo but no luck ,i have an error when run the exec button ,the cho says that only tts are available...

[@BeardedTinker]

Echo devices are a different beast! But since HA now was Radio Browser embedded in it, you may try using that one instead. If you want to try Echo with this script, you have to replace few things. Instead of URL you'll have to use Radio station name, exact name from TuneIn and instead of media_content_type: audio, type TuneIn. That way Echo will use TuneIn app to match radio name there.

[@fotiskanellopoulos]

Hello. I cannot find the script anywhere. I have placed the code in scripts.yaml but it is nowhere to be found, not even in configuration/scripts where I have other scripts. Am I doing something wrong ?

[@BeardedTinker]

You should add this code from scripty.yaml to where ever you already have scripts. If it's in configuration.yaml file put it there at the bottom, if you have all in some other file, it needs to be there. I have split configuration and for me every script is in separate file in folder/scripts.

great tutorial thank you ! I struggle to find a way to resume playing the radio channel once a tts message was transmitted. is there a way to avoid tts stopping the music or that music resumes after tts ? thank a lot

[@BeardedTinker]

Unfortunately, not so easy and not with this setup. That's the problem since smart speaker doesn't know what is being played on it and considers both TTS and media same. I was looking at resolving this with Assistant Relay (addon). It would use Broadcast instead of TTS, and by doing so, it would continue playing what was played before. BUT it's not being developed anymore and project has no maintainer - converting all of the TTS to broadcast just to have some small change on Google side kill it would be in my opinion pointless.

Ahh, this works best with Google Speakers. Problem is different speakers require different formats etc. For ex. Alexa works if you instead of URL use radio station name and instead of type: music use type: tunein. But glad you got it sorted.

[@aryeguetta8592]

Would it work on any version of HA? I have 0.114 and I am not able to make it work. Thanks Edit: Managed to figure out what I was missing - Need to put 'data template' and not data - Maybe it because I don't have the new media in my HA (that starts from version 0.115) - that might be the cause.

Nice catch - yes, _template got removed... Media is not necessary I think.

Great tutorial, thank you. I was getting a 'string index out of range' error and after plenty of googling and head scratching, saw that it was just a good old typo in the if statements - 'iput_select.radio_speaker'!

Missed your answer. Ok. And is your scripts.yaml file located in same folder as configuration.yaml and can you just check spelling of the name (for ex. script.yaml Vs scripts.yaml etc) In scripts.yaml file, how is first line indented? Does it have any space befor it? This is really strange as it is completely ignoring and not loading anything from it. BTW currently I'm experiencing something similar but with rest_command - it's just ignoring it. Can't figure out what happened as it worked in previous version. And on what HA version are you currently,?

Hi BeardedTinker. This works perfectly thank you. Can additional media_content_type: be added in addition to TUNEIN? What I mean is we have a couple of radio stations that I would like to add to this list that are not on Tunein. The streaming service is called "ROVA" So I would have some stations that are on TUNEIN and a few that are on ROVA that I would like to add. Hope this makes sense to you. In the media_content_type: I have TUNEIN and I am not using URLs to for the streams as others have said in this forum, I am sure the radio station name as they appear in TUNEIN and it works no problem. Hope you can help with ideas or options. Cheers

[@BeardedTinker]

If you are not using Alexa, you should be able to just use the URL for media. For Alexa, not sure, can't test it at the moment, but it would also make it difficult as you would need to match contect_type between stations. Probably doable, but a lot of workarounds...

Great video, but I didn't understand how I can send the radio to listen on Amazon Echo. Could you, please, explain to me in more detail? Thank you

[@BeardedTinker]

Do you have Amazon Echo available as media_players inside HA? I don't use any Amazon device so can't help you with exact problem, but I know that you have to do that first. There is a custom component for it - github.com/custom-components/alexa_media_player/wiki And with that, you can even set routine for TuneIn and that way you wold use this component for Radio instead of script I created.

[@strider11]

I had to change the Script file > media_content_id portion to the name of the station on TuneIN (ie. ESPN) instead of the URL (the rest of the IF statement is the same.) Here's one of my lines: {% if is_state("input_select.radio_station", "The Pulse") %} WZFJ And then change media_content_type: 'TUNEIN' Those tweaks work for me with Echo devices.

@@LordNikon-fk for Alexa it's simpler. I know someone also posted this here in comments, but I'll try to remember. I think for media type, you need to change audio/mp4 to TuneIn (can't remember if it needs to have exact capital letters or not). And then instead of URLs you just use exact name of the radio station like it is in Tune In. It should automagically match name with URL for stream.

That one is not easy. HA doesn't keep what you've sent to each of those devices. There could be potentially a way but would this a bit more complex.

I realy enjoy your video's and i learn much from it.

Check my script here: github.com/BeardedTinker/Home-Assistant_Config/blob/master/scripts/radio_play.yaml From what I've seen at first glace, you have . instead of > after entity_id - in two places. Try fixing that first.

@@BeardedTinker Great i managed to get the error away and save the script. Now it looks good and i can select station and speaker but still have no execute button. What could be the reason for that ?

[@ernstrietbergen1876]

Hello please forget my last question i just typet the name of the radio script wrong. The only thing now is there is still no music and no error so very dificult to find the reason. do you have any tip? any tip ?

I see that you've posted additional comments, but they are gone. You can try reposting questions.

@@BeardedTinker Hello, The situation now is : I copied your scripts and filled in my stations and mediaplayers. now there are no errors i can select station player and volume but if i click execute the button flashes very quick and nothing happens Is there anything i can do to get it working looking at the script does not work unfortunately because i'm pretty sure it's a one to one copie. I have seen the last line in your script is else as the one in the video i tried both but allso no result.

This is probably going to be something really stupid but I get the following message: Logger: homeassistant.config Source: config.py:443 First occurred: 11:07:09 AM (5 occurrences) Last logged: 11:28:26 AM Invalid config for [script]: Service media.player.volume_set does not match format . for dictionary value @ data['sequence'][0]['service'].

Any ideas 💡🤔

[@BeardedTinker]

With this it's probably not properly spaced or something like that. If you can paste code somewhere and link it here, I'll have a look. Or post it here: discord.gg/HkxDRN6

[@BeardedTinker]

In case you missed my previous reply. I think the problem is how code is formatted. Most common mistake is - spacing, wrong or missing " and missing ,. If you can post code somewhere, * can check it, or post it on discord server - link is above, in my reply and also in video description.
