Yamaha Network Receivers

The yamaha platform allows you to control Yamaha Network Receivers from Home Assistant.

Supported devices:

• HTR-4065
• RX-V473
• RX-V573
• RX-V673
• RX-V773
• And more

To add a Yamaha Network Receiver to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
  - platform: yamaha

Configuration variables:

• name (Optional): Name of the device
• host (Optional): IP address or hostname of the device
• source_ignore (Optional): List of sources to hide in the front-end
• source_names (Optional): Mapping of internal AVR source names to custom ones, allowing to rename e.g. HDMI1 to ChromeCast

A few notes:

• 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.
• For receivers that support more than one zone, Home Assistant will add one media player per zone supported by the player, named “$name Zone 2” and “$name Zone 3”.
• In some cases, autodiscovery fails due to a known bug in the receiver’s firmware. It is possible to manually specify the receiver’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, this component supports powering on/off, mute, volume control and source selection. Playback controls, for instance play and stop are available for sources that supports it.

A full configuration example will look like the sample below:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
  - platform: yamaha
    host: 192.168.0.10
    source_ignore:
      - "AUX"
      - "HDMI6"
    source_names:
      HDMI1: "ChromeCast"
      AV4: "Vinyl"
