|---|---|---|
switch | Switch or outlet | |
media_player | TV, receiver or media switches | Needs its own HomeKit Bridge in accessory mode |
binary_sensor | Sensor (motion, contact, leak, smoke…) | |
sensor | Sensor (temperature, humidity, air quality…) | |
button | Button (as a switch) | |
select | Mode picker (as switches) |
What people report
Bose soundbars and smart speakers work over the local network, and the maintainer ships fixes and features such as TTS playback quickly.

| Bose Soundbar 700 (TTS playback) | Works | Chromecast-based media and TTS playback added in 1.2.0Saved copyCurious if possible (and feasible) to implement TTS (text to speech) functionality through this integration. Currently use TTS through DNLA integration, but is clunky and separate to the media player created here. Thanks again for the great work on this integration, it has revived my Bose Soundbar 700.

| Bose speakers refusing LAN network status | Works Local | Setup fixed for speakers that answer 403 'not authorized for LAN'Saved copySome speakers answer GET /network/status with 403 "User not authorized for LAN". The error was not handled, so the whole setup failed, although the network status is only used to add the speaker's MAC address to its device. Register the device without the MAC address in that case, and only add the network sensors when the status can be read, so they do not log an error on every update.
