What would be the best way to sense the Xbox being turned on and off, I only need that functionality for an automation and the delays, 15 seconds for on and 30 for off, with this make it useless for that?
Unfortunately Xbox returns a white icon with a transparent background for that āappā and there isnāt much we can do about it in the current media browser implementation.
On/Off can be sensed the same way you would for any media player integration in your automations. Not sure what the ask is here.
As I said, the massive delay for the change of state to be reported makes this integration no use for what I need.
Found the answerā¦
ā¦works perfectly and gives instant state changes.

Care to share your automation use case? Iām trying to think through some automations myself.
i have same problem.
I use a automation for my xbox.
because the xbox does not support cec hdmi I use home assistant to controle this.
So:
xbox on
tv on - xbox on - tv to hdmi 2 -hue lights to xbox scene.
xbox off
tv to channel x - hue lights to normal.
But with the new integration the off monitor of the xbox takes to long.
i want the automation to start direct when I shutdown mij xbox. (old style)
Now I need to wait for 1 minut something.
also can not see witch game is in cover art.
I can see a app like Netflix. but I also liked the cover art of game that plays.
ps.
thanks for the good work you put in this project!
iām getting a Not Secure warning in the web browser with the new Xbox integration when viewing home assistant via https.Is there the option to get Xbox integration images via https instead?
So @Bobby_Nobble thanks for that UPnp tip!
That works perfect! now my xbox turn off and instantly my tv go to channel X lights to setting X.
But is there a way to get that cover art back?!
So with apps it still works.
When I look @media player I can see a Netflix logo etc.
But in the old xbox entegration you could also see a House when you where in the dash.
Or you could see a picture for example Call of Duty (The game you would play)
This is not working for me anymore. Can this please be fixed. (or please let me know how to get this back)

@realm I miss it too. I had automation set up to change lights base on what was playing on Xbox and didnāt found a way to make it work again. Aso, I was able to get some statistics on how long each game was on.
The most important one for me is nothing special but as you asked 
My youngest is often falling asleep and leaving everything on (almost guaranteed when heās Netflix and chilling!) as well as rubbish at turning things off when leaving his room. As the Xbox will turn itself off after half an hour of no interaction thatās not a problem but it means his monitor, speakers and fairy, sorry ambient, lights will stay on until whatever time he finally emerges the next day. So the OFF automation is simply sense the Xbox upnp goodbye message and flick the smart socket controlling the power strip everything else is plugged into and turn the lights off.
You could do that with the Xbox integration as reaction time is not important BUT when it does matter is when he turns the Xbox back on those other things need to come back to life at the same instant so the ON version of the automation senses the alive message which happens as soon as you turn it on as the Xbox is never really off.
Told you it wasnāt sexy but does an important job for me
Could you not install the old one as a custom_component?
I have had the same issue. In my case I found that my cable box remote would send out the right IR signals at times. āpush the volume up button too quickly it would turn onā
Hello all,
My xbox integration had been working flawlessly until around 0.118.1 but has since stopped working.
I have tried removing and re-adding the integration but am receiving the following errors:

Donāt suppose you had a fix for this? Iāve got the exact same problem
Iām still stuck with the same problem. No fix as of yet.
I have switched to the native integration in Hass.io and works with no problem check it here:
Xbox - Home Assistant (home-assistant.io)
The only downside is that player does not show if the game is playing., but you can switch Xbox on and of even start game or app.
Just wanted to confirm that I am in fact using the latest native integration via Home Assistant. This is the platform that is currently not working for me (producing the errors mentioned above).
@hunterjm - Any thoughts on the errors that myself and @davepw4 are seeing?

I am also using the latest native integration. It worked the first time, then stopped working around the time I went to version 118.
mine integration stopped working also. I reloaded integration and it was working, but after a while went offline again.
