++ + +
+ The iTunes platform allows you to control iTunes via
+ itunes-api from Home Assistant. Play,
+ pause, or skip songs remotely on iTunes running on your Mac.
+iTunes itself can not be remotely controlled. In order to control your iTunes, +you’ll need to install middleware named `itunes-api`. `itunes-api` is a simple REST +server that talks to a local instance of iTunes via Applescript. It’s very easy to set up +and run. You can find more about it on it’s [GitHub repo](https://github.com/maddox/itunes-api). +
+ + +To add iTunes to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml
