I believe there is a tidal plugin that can be used with LMS directly. Can’t say I have tried it as I do not have a tidal account.

As for HASS players, in my setup, all players are defined as LMS players (these include: UPnP players like Sonos, Chromecast players, Squeeze box players like PiCore and Squeeze players) and these players appear directly in HASS which simply acts as a front-end for LMS by adding the following to your config.

media_player:
  - platform: squeezebox
    host: IP_ADDRESS

We have a Ubuntu Linux LMS setup here with 4 nodes of Raspberry Pi’s running picoreplayer. Our brand new Homeassistant setup runs on the same server via KVM. So far so very cool!
