Audio Control for Home Assistant¶
Turn your multi-room amplifier into something you can control from your phone, your dashboard and your automations — switch zones on and off, change the volume and the music source, all from Home Assistant.

How it works¶
Home Assistant talks to your amplifier through its RS-232 control port (a small 9-pin connector on the back). Every zone becomes its own player in Home Assistant.

What you can do¶
- Switch each zone on and off, change volume, mute, and pick the source
- Bass and treble on amplifiers that have them
- All zones off with one tap, and group mode (every room plays the same thing)
- Changes made on the amplifier's own keypads show up in Home Assistant too
- Use your zones in automations — e.g. turn everything off at midnight
