The `nad` platform allows you to control a [NAD receiver](http://nadelectronics.com) through RS232 from Home Assistant.
|
|
|
|
To add an NAD receiver to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# 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.
|
|
|
|
<p class='note warning'>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
