Herian · January 6, 2022, 9:50pm

i’m using select_source with this data:
{ “entity_id”: “media_player.skyq_salotto”, “source”: “Fox HD” }

This works for me - you can import into Node Red.

You will need to have configured it as a source in the UI.

If that doesn’t work, please raise a bug on my GitHub with all the relevant info.

Private messaged you

Herian · January 9, 2022, 7:11pm

Thank you, i missed the source selection in the UI

Hi… I had to reinstall HomeAssistant and installed HACs as well. Installed SKY Q repository through HACS and restarted HA. I am not getting the Sky Q option in integrations (UI). However, if I enter the config values in YAML, the sky q boxes show up in HA. But I would love to use the UI for integration.

Any help will be much appreciated.

HACS version: 1.19.2
Front end version: 20211231144850
Home Assistant 2021.12.8

RogTP · January 10, 2022, 8:59am

I have seen this happen with another integration in my environment, after a while it appeared in the UI. I don’t know what the trigger was for getting it to appear because I just re-booted several times and installed another integration via HACS. I’m not sure where the problem lies, but 99% sure it isn’t in the SkyQ integration.

nil-ghosh · January 10, 2022, 12:51pm

Thanks Roger. Yes it has mysteriously appeared now. It is all working.

Robinho21 · January 23, 2022, 7:22am

Hello there

I am trying to locate this integration on HACS but typing Sky or Sky Q yields no results

Can anybody point me towards the correct integration name !

Ty !

RogTP · January 23, 2022, 8:20am

You need to add it as custom repository. Go to the integrations tab of HACS, go to the three dot menu, then click custom repositories. Add the url of my GitHub repository with category of Integration. When added, just look for SkyQ.

betty02 · February 1, 2022, 7:58pm

Hi All,

Managed to get the main repo installed and working from RogTP, now I am in HACS and trying to find “mini-media-player” I have searched with - and without them, and I just can’t seem to find it? No results are found?

Am I missing something totally obvious here?

RogTP · February 1, 2022, 8:15pm

Have you looked under Frontend instead of Integration?

betty02 · February 2, 2022, 11:28am

Yeah I managed to install it not long after my message, but I just can’t figure out how to get the card to show, I took over control of my “dashboard” and went to + and it doesn’t show. Not too sure, I will try and do more digging and post back, needed a break last night lol

RogTP · February 2, 2022, 12:09pm

Look for custom… But you can add any and then go to ‘Show Code Editor’ and then add the relevant code. My set is below (I don’t use the buttons much, so whilst I think they work I’m not 100% sure).

did this get anywhere as i also have sky glass and would like to get involved

RogTP · February 7, 2022, 9:05am

Hiya - not at this point. We’ve been unable to find the right api endpoints on the TV to enable it to work. I keep digging on the internet on an occasional basis. I don’t have a Sky Glass, so I can’t probe it myself, but a couple of others have been doing some looking with no success.

KarlKarlsson:

Hello from Austria - I’ve been playing around today with the integration and got to the point where I can either configure the component via UI or with the yaml entry.

However with both variants I get errors, if I use the UI I get an error message saying that the connection was not possible, the host is not correct. My system runs in german language, so I am paraphrasing, the original german message is: “Verbindung fehlgeschlagen, ungültiger Host”

I double checked the IP (set static via router) and pinged it with multiple devices, it is available in the network.

I then configured my mediaplayer.yaml to include the receiver, but when I restart home-assistant I get a warning in my logs that the generated device is not available and if I use it in lovelace it remains unavailable forever.

I am running a sky q receiver box with the following software version QIPM00.000.102.00P - I tried to find out if that software version is supported but I haven’t found a way to check the software versions.

Here’s a screenshot directly from the UI of Sky:

20211227_0937331920×1440 180 KB

I tried removing and reinstalling the component several times and also updated hass now to the december version, but I’m running out of things to try. I’d be very happy to get your opinion on what I should do to get it going. If you need me to pull some additonal data, I’m happy to provide it. I can provide screenshots for every step that I described, but as a new user I’m only allowed to post one screenshot per Post and I don’t want to spam this thread

Thank you very much in advance
Karl

@KarlKarlsson

Hi Karl!

I am also from Austria. By coincidence I found this thread here. I am having Sky X Box, not Sky Q. With same firmware as you mentioned. I am eager to know if you were able to get it running. I have same error as you, saying it can’t connect to the host.

best regards,
Thomas

Hi all.
From a couple of days I get this.
In log there is the following:
