Creating a YouTube Thumbnail Sensor in Home Assistant

Hello everyone.

When connected via AirPlay, the Apple TV integration in Home Assistant cannot retrieve the thumbnail of a YouTube video playing on the Apple TV’s YouTube app

I was searching for a solution to this issue when I came across matt8707’s project. youtube-watching

However, it did not work well in my environment, so I integrated it into AppDaemon.

It can be installed via HACS, and the MQTT integration is required. It’s easy to use.
