No Hassle AV HDMI Matrix

The nohassle_hdmi_matrix platform allows you to control No Hassle AV 8x8 HDMI Matrix Switch by polling its webui. My matrix didn't play nicely with UDP packages in the beginning so that's why I went with this method. I may rewrite this to use UDP in a later revision if I see any benefit of doing so, but for the moment I see this as the best solution as the integration can read the current status of the matrix as well as change inputs.

Installation using HACS (Recommended)

1. Navigate to HACS and add a custom repository
   URL: https://github.com/IDmedia/hass-nohassle_hdmi_matrix
   Category: Integration
2. Install module as usual
3. Restart Home Assistant

Configuration

Key	Default	Required	Description
host	127.0.0.1	no	The ip of your hdmi matrix.
zones		yes	This is the list of zones available. Valid zones are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Each zone must have a name assigned to it.
sources		yes	The list of sources available. Valid source numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Each source number corresponds to the input number on the Blackbird matrix switch. Similar to zones, each source must have a name assigned to it.

Example

Add the following to your configuration.yaml:

media_player:
  - platform: nohassle_hdmi_matrix
    host: 192.168.1.168

      2:
        name: Second TV Source
      3:
        name: Third TV Source
    sources:
      1:
        name: PC A
      2:
        name: PC B
      3:
        name: PlayStation 4
