I am new to Home Assistant and have had some success with it so far but have hit a road block trying to get it to work with my Epson LS12000 projector. I have tried the Epson integration as well is PJLink but have not had luck with either one.
I have the same projector and wasn’t able to get mine integrated either using the Eson integration. I also tried the HACS integration, but no luck there. Were you ever able to get this working?
I just got that working on my LS12000. It gives power control of the projector (which is all I wanted.)
Hi,
after the latest firmware update of the Epson Beamer there is a new web interface.
Did someone figure out if it’s now possible to integrate the Beamer into HA?
Would be great to change the screen settings or call a memory slot where they have been stored.
Cheers
Marco
Would love to know how you did that! I’ve been fighting it all day!
I just got it going tonight. In case you hadn’t noticed (it’s very easy to miss), PJLink has a different password than the Web Control password. Make sure you’ve set the password in the right setting:
My config block looks like this:
- platform: pjlink
host: 10.0.0.1
name: "LS12000 Projector"
password: hunter2
All it provides is power control and input select (when power is on), but that’s all I need so I’m thrilled.
You should have a look at the Epson Projector Link integration (via HACS). This provides the best feature set so far and you can trigger everything you need: GitHub - amosyuen/ha-epson-projector-link: Home Assistant Epson Projector Link
Yea wish this also provided info on the projector… fan status… lamp hrs… temperature… the pjlink protocol can poll all kinds of info… even the video input signal and if it’s hdr or sdr… it would be really cool to have all of this in homeassistant without having to open the menu on the projector.
Did you ever work this out? I have an LS11000 and I can’t seem to get it to connect at all. 
Any help would be much appreciated.
The custom Epson Projector link on HACS did the trick. Nice!
I don’t get it. I use the HACS integration, want to add an LS12000. I have turned on PJlink on the projector, the IP address I use, is the one which I can excess the webcontrol with. The integration always states “failed to connect”. Do i have to add the PJlink information in the config yaml first? (Which the github documentation does not list as a to do?).
I have no idea why this is not working, since it seems to support the LS series as you say…

I’m faced with the same issue. The projector and Home Assistant are in the same network, accessing the web control works now after a firmware update but the integration keeps telling me “failed to connect”.
I’m not exactly sure how to turn on the advanced mode on the projector as that option doesn’t exist as far as I can see. It’s only possible to turn on the basic control on or off.
Any idea how to make Home Assistant connect to the projector same as the web control would be highly welcome!
You are using the LS12000?
In the projector settings menu:
- Standby Mode to Communication On
- turn PJlink on
Then go to the projector IP in your browser and check:
- For the Basic Control option, the default user name is EPSONREMOTE. No password is set by default.
- For all other options, the default user name is EPSONWEB. No password is set by default.
My problem actually was that I set a password for … epsonweb (?) and after deleting this the PJlink integration just worked, it’s pretty limited though. I thought I could do more than just turn on/off the projector with automations…
Actually that did the trick! Yes, it is the LS12000 indeed. Deleting all the passwords suddenly made the connection possible. Thanks for that part!
However I’m now stuck with only having the Media Player entity now. There is no other information available. All the other things I could poll lead to an error. Yes, the network on standby function is activated.
I’m really starting to wonder if it is possible at all to intergrate such a common projector properly.
Same for me. As I said: turning it on/off works, but that’s it. Pretty disappointing for such a projector and Epson as a big company.
