I’ve been working on a plugin to control an AVGear TMX44PRO AVK, which is a HDMI/HdBT matrix switch.
I’ve got it working reliably - for my use cases, and wanted to share to see if anyone else has the same devices (or device family) to help with testing.
The HA plugin is here: hass-avgear-matrix and there is a library that I’ve created which has the core smarts in it: hdmimatrix
Happy to get feedback on it, and hopefully it helps someone.
Hello!
That’s a great contribution! Sharing your hass‑avgear‑matrix plugin along with the hdmimatrix library will definitely help others who use the AVGear TMX44PRO or similar HDMI/HdBT matrix switches. Having it working reliably for your use cases is already a strong start, and community testing across different setups will be valuable for refining compatibility and catching edge cases.
If you’d like broader feedback, you could highlight specific areas where testers should focus (e.g., switching speed, error handling, integration with HA automations). That way, anyone with the same device family can give you targeted input and help validate the plugin’s robustness.
Thanks @Dan682Lee, good point.
Initial feedback would be on if any/many people have these type of matrixes at home.
If the do, then getting the model numbers, and I’ll have a look at adding specific support for them.
I’ve added manuals for a few of them that were provided by AVGear here: hdmimatrix/doc/manuals at main · marklynch/hdmimatrix · GitHub
So if any of these are in demand I can look at adding them.
Thanks
I’ve done a bit more work on this and it’s now at v1.0.0 and it should work on any AVGear matrix that has the same broad command set. GitHub - marklynch/hass-avgear-matrix: Homeassistant integration for AVGear Matrix · GitHub
