Discussion

See home assistant thread

Use in Home Assistant

  1. Create folder in your home assistant main folder:
mkdir custom_components/media_player
  1. Copy pykef.py and kefwireless.py into that folder. This will make the custom component kefwireless available to Home Assistant:
cp pykef.py custom_components/media_player
cp kefwireless.py custom_components/media_player
  1. Add component to Home Assistant by adding to configuration.yaml and restart HA:
media_player:
   - platform: kefwireless
     host: 192.168.x.x # change to the IP of you speaker, no autodetection yet
     name: MyLS50W # optional, the name you want to see in Home Assistant
     turn_on_service: switch.turn_on # optional, place a HA service to call in here: domain.service 
     turn_on_service_data: '{"entity_id": "switch.some_switch"}' # optional, place the service data in here. Must be in quotation marks ('). Must be one line

##Limitations

  • LS50 speakers take about 20 seconds to boot. Thus, after turning them on please be patient. Turning them on via HA is not possible.
