The `mediaroom` component allows you to control a [Mediaroom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ericsson_Mediaroom) Set-Top Box (STB) from Home Assistant.
|
|
|
|
To add a Mediaroom STB to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
media_player:
|
|
- platform: mediaroom
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% configuration %}
|
|
host:
|
|
description: The hostname or IP address of the device.
|
|
required: false
|
|
type: string
|
|
default: Tries to discovery your device.
|
|
name:
|
|
description: The name of the device used in the frontend.
|
|
required: false
|
|
type: string
|
|
default: Mediaroom STB
|
|
optimistic:
|
|
description: In case the component cannot determine the status of the box, consider the box always ON.
|
|
required: false
|
|
type: boolean
|
|
default: false
|
|
{% endconfiguration %}
|
|
|
|
Notice that all parameters are optional, and discovery should configure everything for you.
|
|
|
|
#### {% linkable_title Using the Mediaroom component %}
|
|
|
|
The component has been developed for Portuguese TV operators currently using the Mediaroom platform, but should also work in other deployments in which the STB can be controlled remotely through a socket on port 8082.
|
|
|
|
In most cases (single STB) you just need to setup the *platform* and discovery will do the rest.
|
|
|
|
If the STB is on the same network segment as Home Assistant, it can determine whether the device is turned on or off. Without this, the component will fail to determine the Set-top box status, and you are required to add the *optimistic* configuration variable.

## {% linkable_title Examples %}
|
|
|
|
### {% linkable_title Example `press_button` script %}
|
|
|
|
The `play_media` function can be used in scripts to change channels and emulate button pressing from a remote control.
|
|
|
|
{% raw %}
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example play_media script
|
|
#
|
|
press_button:
|
|
sequence:
|
|
service: media_player.play_media
|
|
data_template:
|
|
entity_id: media_player.mediaroom_stb
|
|
media_content_id: "{{ value }}"
|
|
media_content_type: "channel"
|
|
```
|
|
{% endraw %}
|
|
|
|
### {% linkable_title Example configuration with 2 STB %}
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry for 2 STB
|
|
media_player:
|
|
- platform: mediaroom
|
|
host: 192.168.1.64
|
|
name: Living Room STB
|
|
- platform: mediaroom
|
|
