Home Assistant Just Add Power

A Home Assistant component for the Just Add Power HD over IP 2G/3G systems. Currently requires a supported Cisco switch configured with JADConfig.

Usage

• Create a folder called custom_components/justaddpower.
• Drop the files media_player.py and manifest.json into the custom_components/justaddpower directory.
• Edit your configuration file to add the justaddpower platform.

Configuration

There are 3 sections required: switch, receivers and transmitters.

switch

The switch is polled on a regular basis to determine the current configuration, as well as to change sources. The min_refresh_interval determines how often. This can be different from scan_interval but setting a lower value will not override scan_interval. An example usage would be to allow image pull to happen frequently without overloading the switch with refresh requests.

Parameter	Default	Description	Example
host (req)		IP or hostname of the network switch	myswitch1234
user (opt)	cisco	Username to log onto switch	myuser
password (opt)	cisco	Password for switch	mypass~1
rx_subnet (opt)	10.128.0.0	Receiver subnet	10.128.0.0
min_refresh_interval (opt)	10	How often to refresh receiver info from switch	10

transmitters

The transmitters are listed in the order they appear on the switch.

Parameter	Default	Description	Example
name (req)		Friendly name	Cable Box
usb (opt)	false	Whether this transmitter has USB	true
url (opt)		URL to static image for transmitter - takes precedence over image_pull	http://mydomain.com/myimg.jpg

receivers

The receivers are listed in the order they appear on the switch. The IP address is automatically determined and isn't normally required. However the option exists to override if the auto config doesn't work.

Parameter	Default	Description	Example
name (req)		Friendly name	Master Bedroom
usb (opt)	false	Whether this receiver has USB	true
ip_address (opt)		IP address of switch	mypass~1
image_pull (opt)	false	Display the image from the source	true
image_pull_refresh (opt)	10	How often to refresh the source image	30
