The Plex platform allows you to connect a Plex Media Server to Home Assistant. It will allow you to control media playback and see the current playing item. The preferred way to setup the Plex platform is by enabling the the the discovery component and requires GDM to be enabled.
If local authentication is enabled or multiple users are defined, HASS requires an authentication token to be entered in the webinterface. See Finding your account token / X-Plex-Token.
If you want to enable the plex platform directly, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
platform: plex
You may also need to create the file plex.conf.
{"IP_ADDRESS:PORT": {"token": "TOKEN"}}
- IP_ADDRESS (Required): IP address of the Plex Media Server
- PORT (Required): Port where Plex is listening. Default is 32400
- TOKEN (Optional): Only if authentication is required. Set to
None(without quotes) otherwise.
At this moment, the Plex platform only supports one Plex Media Server.
