I have the iTunes Media Player working with the iTunes API on my Mac mini
# for iTunes Media Player. using mac mini with iTunes API
media_player:
- platform: itunes
host: 10.10.10.3
port: 8181
An issue is when this is presented to Alexa via the Nabu cloud, it is sent a “iTunes” which in the Amazon world seems like reserved word.
I had hard coded the entities to send in the YAML file, but recently found the GUI and would like to use it.
in the YAML file I could
cloud:
alexa:
filter:
include_entities:
- alarm_control_panel.house
- light.kitchen
- light.kitchen_left
- media_player.itunes
entity_config:
media_player.itunes
name: Home Audio
description: Whole House Audio
This would permit commanding the ECHO to “Play Home Audio” and it would react. “Play iTunes” send me to Apple Music.
I can not see where in the GUI to set the ‘name:’ and was wondering if the media_player.itunes could be changed to - media_player.Home_Audio ??
