The iTunes platform allows you to control [iTunes](http://apple.com/itunes/) from Home Assistant.
It uses a 3rd party server that you run on your Mac called
[itunes-api](https://github.com/maddox/itunes-api). Play, pause, or skip songs remotely on iTunes
running on your Mac.
Your AirPlay speakers will also be exposed as simple media players inside Home Assistant. They will be available to be turned on or off or set their volume.
To add iTunes to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
platform: itunes
name: iTunes
host: http://192.168.1.50
port: 8181
Configuration variables:
- host Required: The URL of the itunes-api API, eg. http://192.168.1.50
- port Optional: The PORT that itunes-api is running on.
