Expand Up @@ -29,14 +29,18 @@ To add a Yamaha Network Receiver to your installation, add the following to your
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
platform: yamaha
host: 192.168.1.100
name: 'Basement Receiver'
```
Configuration variables:

- **name** (*Optional*): Name of the device
- **host** (*Optional*): IP address or hostname of the device

A few notes:

- This will automatically search your network for Yamaha receivers. It will add a media player device for each one.
- Not specifying the host variable will result in automatically searching your network for Yamaha Receivers. It will add a media player device for each one.
- In some cases, autodiscovery fails due to a known bug in the receiver's firmware. It is possible to manually specify the reveiver's IP address or via it's hostname (if it is discoverably by your DNS) then.
- Please note: If adding the IP address or hostname manually, you **must** enable network standby on your receiver, or else startup of Home Assistant will hang if you have your receiver switched off.
- Currently the only controls that are available is Power On/Off, Mute, and Volume control. Other functions such as source select are in progress of being developed.
