With RC3 and RC5 I am no longer able to manually change the source input from the regular Home Assistant media entity card. It is possible the problem exists before that, but this is when I first noticed it. I can adjust volume, power, etc. But source won’t set. I can set it from an automation that doesn’t use the regular entity media card/interface:
I’m seeing the same thing (source changes not “sticking” when changing it with the media card) with my Lync 12.
i’m trying to replicate this with my Lync12 with the plain Home Assistant card and I can’t. can you guys help me out by creating an issue on my github and filling that out? could i also ask for a video recording of how this actually looks and review the logs just to be sure and send anything that could look suspicious? thanks.
I have opened an issue with a screen recording attached.
@UngluedChalice Please have a look at the issue I opened on GIT and chime in if you would.

To me, the ability to load the names directly from the HTD hardware settings is more important because that would eliminate a point of confusion and indirection which HA has way too many as it is. There are plenty of UI facilities to label things as desired downstream of the hardware integration. So, the closer an integration is following its hardware’s state, the cleaner.
My “vote” is freedom to name sources. I don’t use the HTD app, except for initial zone setup, and my sources are pretty static, so adding the source naming in the configuration.yaml or where would be all I need. Loading names from HTD hardware would be best of course, but config is enough for me.
Sorry been busy, finally got around to submitting a pull request to python-htd which adds 100% HTD lync feature support
This sounds great! How can I install your updates?
I wonder if Home Assistant's new ability to have serial ports over the network with ESPHome will eventually change the way HTD can interact with Home Assistant?
