Bluesound

The bluesound platform allows you to control your Bluesound HiFi wireless speakers and audio components from Home Assistant.

If you want to automatically discover new devices, just make sure you have discovery: in your configuration.yaml file. To manually add a Bluesound device to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml
media_player:
  - platform: bluesound
    hosts:
      - host: 192.168.1.100

Configuration variables:

• hosts (Optional): List with your bluesound devices
  • host (Required): IP-address or hostname of the player
  • name (Optional): The name of the device used in the frontend
  • port (Optional): Port of communication to the device (default: 11000)

Advanced configuration example

# Example configuration.yaml entry with manually specified addresses

Service bluesound_join

Group players together under a single master speaker. That will make a new group or join to exists group.

Service bluesound_unjoin

Remove one or more speakers from a group of speakers. If no entity_id is provided, all speakers are unjoined.

Service bluesound_set_sleep_timer

Sets a timer that will turn off the speaker. For each time you call this it will increase the time by one step. The steps are (in minutes): 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 0. If you increase an ongoing timer of for example 13 minutes, it will increase it to 15. If the timer is set to 90, it will remove the time (hence the 0).

Service bluesound_clear_sleep_timer

Clear the sleep timer on a speaker, if one is set.
