OwnTone
forked_daapd
The OwnTone integration allows you to control your OwnTone (previously forked-daapd) server from Home Assistant. This integration can control the OwnTone outputs (zones) with limited playback control (play/pause, previous/next track) and media info support. Playlist manipulation is not supported.
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 |
