Snapcast Player Home Assistant Integration

⚠️ Unfortunately, due to health issues I will not be able to maintain this integration in future, so your YMMV ⚠️

Simple integration designed to allow playback through a snapcast server (the built in snapcast integration doesn't support audio playback). Audio is streamed to snapcast using ffmpeg, which is preinstalled on HassOS.

Installation

Install via HACS or copy ./custom_components/snapcast_player/ to /config/custom_components/

Configuration Variables

key	required	example	description
platform	yes	snapcast_player	Platform name
host	yes	127.0.0.1	Hostname, IP address of the snapcast server. If snapcast is running on the same machine, this can also be the path to a pipe
name	no	multiroom_player	Entity name
port	no	4953	Port to stream audio to, default is 4953
start_delay	no	1s	Insert a delay at the stream start. This can prevent the start of TTS announcements being cut off

Example Config

media_player:
  - platform: snapcast_player
    host: 127.0.0.1
    start_delay: 1s

TODO

• Support modifying the play queue via the media_player.play_media service.
