Hi there,
I have a question regarding soundbars and HA integration.
I am currently looking for a soundbar that is able to connect to my TV, mobile phone and Home assistant.
I thought I would ask the questions here because maybe someone has an good answer / suggestions.
I would like to do the following things:
- Soundbar running my TV sound (ofc.)
- Soundbar running on my mobile phone Spotify
- Soundbar running on a tablet I would like to buy in the near future to control my house with a HA dashboard with lights, temperature, weather and sound(Spotify) control.
I was also wondering if the following things are possible:
-
When I play music from whatever platform/device I use I would like my TV to turn on and show the music that is playing. I have seen some soundbars connect with HDMI. Does this mean that this HDMI channel automatically shows what music input it has?
-
Do I have to turn on the soundbar manually or does it turn on when I use a device that plays sound trough the soundbar?
-
Some soundbars have voice control and advertise this to also control your entire home with. Is this voicecontrol compatible with HA?
So my question is:
- What soundbar is compatible with these needs?
- Are the things I want achievable?
I have the following TV:
Samsung 6 series UE50MU6100
I would like to note that this TV does have the flaw of going offline when turned off and not being able to be turned on from Home assistant. But my TV provider box is able to wake up the TV So I would imagine a soundbar would be able to do this too.
This is the best I could describe is and I understand that some people have questions. I will be happy to answer them.
Kind Regards,
