Yamaha AV Receiver Automation

[daranto]

Hello all,

I am trying to add a condition to my yamaha automation. The automation should only be trigger when the yamaha receiver is on the correct source.

- alias: "Yamaha (off) -> Licht aus"
  trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: media_player.yamahaav
      to: 'off'
  condition:
    condition: and
    conditions:
      - condition: ????
        entity_id: 'media_player.yamahaav'
        source: 'TV'
  action:
      - service: scene.turn_on
        entity_id: scene.tv_licht_aus
      - service: shell_command.stop_hyperion

is this possible?

you can make a source sensor an use it’s state for the condition:

Using the LG webOS source value to trigger events

That’s right! I’ve technically already gotten that bit to work. The only annoying thing is that you obviously can’t tell it to do things if you pause/stop Netflix. You could only do triggers based on switching to different sources (e.g. Hulu Plus, Amazon, cable box).

I don’t know about the Yamaha platform, but I’m doing do something similar with my denon receiver (using denonavr):

trigger:
  - platform: template
    value_template: "{% if is_state_attr('media_player.denon_avr', 'source', 'PhonoPre') %}true{% endif %}"
