Tesira TTP Volume (Home Assistant)

A Home Assistant custom integration that exposes Biamp Tesira level controls as media_player entities using the Tesira Text Protocol (TTP) over Telnet (TCP/23).

Features

• UI setup via Config Flow
• Add multiple controls (instance tag + channel) under one Tesira device via Options
• media_player entity with:
  • volume slider (maps 0–100% to your chosen dB range)
  • volume up/down (relative step dB)
  • mute (best-effort; depends on block)

Requirements

• Tesira Text Protocol server enabled (Telnet / port 23)
• Home Assistant with network access to the Tesira device
