Configuration for VO-Box

Configuration
1

I have a VO-Box attached to my network. It is a device that reads subtitles from a video input and translates it to text, so that visually impaired users of this device can either:

  • Get the text rendered in a larger, more contrastful font on an opaque background, or
  • Get the text spoken to them.

This device has an HTTP server built-in, which gives some information about the device. With help from @Tinkerer I got scraping this device working.

Here’s my config, in case someone would like to have the information from their VO-Box into HA. Note that this is quite a flat web page, and getting the values from the HTML this way is a guestimate!

You’ll need to supply the IP-address that your VO-Box can be reached on in your config.
