# RelayTV Home Assistant Integration
|
|
|
|
This integration provides a RelayTV `media_player` entity, RelayTV service actions, and an optional Home Assistant sidebar panel embedding RelayTV UI.
|
|
|
|
## Implemented Behavior
|
|
|
|
- `media_player` platform is enabled (`custom_components/relaytv/media_player.py`).
|
|
- Hybrid state updates:
|
|
- bootstrap/reconnect uses RelayTV `GET /status`
|
|
- RelayTV `GET /ui/events` SSE provides hot-state updates
|
|
- `status` events are treated as authoritative full snapshots
|
|
- `playback` / `queue` / `jellyfin` events trigger fast updates or targeted refreshes
|
|
- Sidebar panel is registered via Home Assistant frontend iframe panel APIs.
|
|
- RelayTV services are registered from `services.yaml`:
|
|
- `smart_url`
|
|
- `play_now`
|
|
- `announce`
|
|
- `play_temporary`
|
|
- `overlay`
|
|
- `play_synced`
|
|
- `snapshot`
|
|
- `play_with_resume`
|
|
- `upload_media`
|
|
- `upload_media_play`
|
|
- `upload_media_enqueue`
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
1. Place this folder at:
|
|
|
|
`/config/custom_components/relaytv/`
|
|
|
|
2. Restart Home Assistant.
|
|
3. Add integration: **Settings -> Devices & Services -> Add Integration -> RelayTV**.
|
|
4. Provide RelayTV base URL (example: `http://relaytv-host:8787`) and a server/display name.
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
- `panel_enabled`
|
|
- `panel_target_entry_id`
|
|
- `sensor_stream_mappings`
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- `smart_url` uses RelayTV `POST /smart`, which enqueues while already playing and otherwise starts playback immediately.
|
|
- `play_now` and `announce` currently target RelayTV `POST /play`.
|
|
- RelayTV also exposes `POST /play_now`, but this integration does not currently use its preserve-current behavior.
|
|
- Upload services target RelayTV `POST /ingest/media`, `POST /ingest/media/play`, and `POST /ingest/media/enqueue`.
|
|
- Upload services accept either a Home Assistant local media source selection or an allowlisted `file_path` visible inside the Home Assistant container.
|
|
- Overlay requires `text` or `image_url`.
|
|
- Snapshot requires active playback on the RelayTV server.
|
|
- Snapshot responses are normalized to absolute URLs for Home Assistant entity attributes.
|
|
- The integration keeps `/status` as bootstrap/fallback and does not treat `/ui/events` as a replay log.
