There are plenty of guides to github on the net. But basically fork the repo, clone to yout local machine, make your change, push back to github.

I went ahead and created a PR for this: Bump nad_receiver to version 0.3.0 by Kapernicus · Pull Request #58751 · home-assistant/core · GitHub

Let’s see what happens. :slight_smile:

Good news: as of 2021.11.0, Home Assistant Core is now using version 0.3.0 of nad_receiver. :grinning:

After the recent update, my NAD receiver has been showing a weird behavior where it doesn’t quite register that it is “on” properly, it intermittently shows as on/off for 10-30 seconds, kind of like it’s just responding to a ping? My automations which rely on checking if it is on stopped working, which is how I noticed. Anyone seeing anything similar? (using telnet protocol)

I’ve held off on upgrading since 2012.11.1, but I’m upgrading to .5 today. I’ll report back if I notice the same behavior.

34

I think it might have been a weird glitch, it’s been acting normal now

Hey guys, maybe a very stupid question but how do you install the nad integration? I can’t find it in HACS and on the github page I can’t find any info about how to install the integration? Do I just have to unzip the code in config/custom_components and configure via config.yaml?

Thanks for your reply, so basically the only thing to be done is making the configuration in config.yaml?

38

Yes that is how many integrations work.

39

Thanks for your help on setting the integration up. The integration now allows me to power on and off the NAD C375BEE amplifier I have. Volume control and muting the sound also works, however input source selection is not functioning. Does anyone know how I can debug this integration? I’m running HA 2022.8.2 on HAOS 8.4.

What are your attributes of the media_player entity? Look in states tab of developer tools.

41

These are the attributes I found for the entity:

source_list:

  • CD
  • Raumfeld Living
  • TV
    icon: mdi:speaker-multiple
    friendly_name: 'NAD Versterker ’
    supported_features: 3468
42

So what exactly is not working?

43

Changing source is not functioning

44

Logs would be helpful.

45

Where can I get the logging of the integration?

46

Logger - Home Assistant and see https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/bb0038319dd467ac519e8d2de1e78c3e7c092241/homeassistant/components/nad/manifest.json for the components to bump up logging on.

47

Thanks for all the help! I tried adding the following to my configuration:

logger:
default: warning
logs:
homeassistant.components.nad_receiver: info

When using the integration, no logging is found. Am I missing something?

Hi,

I recently found a newer integration, which might be a new hope to get our NADs to be integrated properly. Is somebody out there, who is able and willed to contribute to
https://github.com/rrooggiieerr/homeassistant-nad/issues/2

rroogiierr responded to my issue really quick, so the chanches are high to get this repo state of the art.
