volumio
The Volumio integration allows you to control a Volumio media player from Home Assistant.
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.
| Entity | Shows up as | Note |
|---|---|---|
media_player | Media player (as switches) | Only TVs and receivers get a TV tile; other players show as power and play switches; Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode |
