Master [DirecTV](http://www.directv.com/) receivers (ie: those that have tuners) will be automatically discovered if you enable the [discovery component](/components/discovery/) and the receiver is powered-on. Slave/RVU client/Genie boxes will also be discovered, but only if they are also online at the time of discovery.
|
||
|
||
To ensure that your DirecTV boxes are always found and configured, they should be added into your `configuration.yaml`.
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
||
media_player:
|
||
- platform: directv
|
||
```
|
||
Configuration variables:
|
||
|
||
- **host** (*Optional*): Use only if you don't want to scan for devices.
|
||
- **port** (*Optional*): The port your receiver is using. Defaults to `8080`.
|
||
- **name** (*Optional*): Use to give a specific name to the device.
|
||
- **device** (*Optional*): Use to specify a particular receiver in a Genie setup.
|
||
|
||
|
||
To find valid device IDs, open `http://<IP Address of Genie Server>:8080/info/getLocations` in a web browser. For each Genie slave, you will find a variable `clientAddr` in the response, and this should be used for `device` in `configuration.yaml`
|
||
|
||
For example, a response such as:
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"locations": [
|
||
{
|
||
"clientAddr": "0",
|
||
"locationName": "MASTER GENIE SERVER",
|
||
"tunerBond": true
|
||
},
|
||
{
|
||
"clientAddr": "5009591D6969",
|
||
"locationName": "SOME SLAVE GENIE"
|
||
}
|
||
],
|
||
"status": {
|
||
"code": 200,
|
||
"commandResult": 0,
|
||
"msg": "OK.",
|
||
"query": "/info/getLocations"
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Could be formatted into `configuration.yaml` like so:
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
media_player:
|
||
- platform: directv
|
||
host: 192.168.1.10
|
||
port: 8080
|
||
name: Main DirecTV Box
|
||
device: 0
|
||
- platform: directv
|
||
host: 192.168.1.10
|
||
port: 8080
|
||
name: Bedroom DirecTV
|
||
device: 5009591D6969
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
It is important to notice that the host and port variables for slave/Genie receivers are the same as the master receiver.
