Anthem A/V Receivers
anthemav
Built inLocal push
Both [Anthem]'s current and last generation of A/V receivers and processors support IP-based network control. This Home Assistant integration adds proper "local push" support for any of these receivers on your network.
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 | Receiver | Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode |
What people report
Anthem MRX, AVM and MDX models are documented as working over the network control port. The integration locks out the Anthem app and ARC-2 while connected, and x40 models needed library updates.
