After the latest update (or one of the prior versions as I’m not constantly updating the integration), the media_player entity for the Avant has disappeared.

Currently there is only the remote entity for the Avant. Is this on purpose or was something forgotten?

In this screenshot you can see for each B&O entity a media_player entity has been defined automatically. For the Avant there isn’t. That’s really a pity as for simple things like volume I cannot integrate and control in HA anymore… Also the media_player is not automatically seen in Music Assistant to be added.

In one of my screenshots above in this topic, you can see in a prior version both entities were there.

I have deleted the configuration for the Avant and added it again, while restarting intermediately but nothing happens. I did it twice but when adding only the remote is visible.

You should probably report is as an issue on the repo: GitHub - giachello/beoplay: Home Assistant component to control BeoPlay including TVs, Speakers and others.

@jnathalia check if 2025.2.1 fixes it.

This has solved the issue! Many thanks @g.iac !

First of all huge thanks for the B&O for investing time and resources into the integration. Have created several very specific automations that measurably enhance how I can use my multiroom zones with Beoconnect cores. Certainly a no brainer to invest in Mozart devices rather than older gen products just for this alone.

One issue I ran into is the Beoremote halo only being “addable” via zeroconf. In my environment HA and Beo devices all run in dedicated VLANs with very strict traffic control. Using mdns discovery is not an option. Does anyone know of a way to add a Halo to the integration via IP? Perhaps manually creating a new entry in the device registry? Any insights would be welcome. Also, if anyone has a screen grab of an example device registry entry for a Halo that would be helpful.

The latest app-update brought support for Tidal on mye beoplay m3’s and beosound stage - very nice! I am trying to figure out the api for this. So far I’ve managed to start a track using this curl, but no luck with playlists and albums. I would like to integrate this into home assistant somehow, so that tracks/albums/playlists startet from HA show up in the B&O app. Any ideas or contributions are very welcome!

Hello,

I have a Beosound Stage and would like to integrate it into HAS.

Unfortunately, the integration only works with systems that have a Mozart chip, if I have read this correctly.
When I enter the IP of my Stage, I get the message: Connection failed

Is there a chance that the integration will be extended to include the stage?
I would be very pleased.

Has anyone figured out how to read a TV or Music selection on a Beoremote One? I can see Control and Light selections via trigger.event.data.eventData.Key but any TV or Music selections are returned with blank data.

As an alternative, I’ve tried to see if I can read the selected TV source on a connected Beosound Theatre to no avail (although it does work for the Music sources, e.g. it triggers if the “to” state is set to Deezer or B&O Radio):

alias: B&O Theatre - TV Source Selected
description: TV source is selected on the Beoremote One
trigger:
entity_id: media_player.beosound_theatre_XXXXXXXXX
attribute: source
to: HDMI 1
