Frontier Silicon
frontier_silicon
This integration provides support for Internet Radios based on the [Frontier Silicon chipset]. Some manufacturers that offer products based on these chips include Hama, Medion, Silvercrest, Auna, TechniSat, Revo, and Pinell. These devices are usually controlled with the OKTIV or UNDOK apps.
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 |
|---|---|---|
switch | Switch or outlet | |
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 |
What people report
Internet radios on Frontier Silicon chipsets work locally; only one session at a time, so UNDOK conflicts on older radios.
