2022.13.0-beta4
Pre-releaseNote: this is a beta release!
Last beta, @fillefilip8 implemented actionable notifications, which was already awesome. Well, he didn't stop there, and decided to create an entire new integration from scratch, providing:
-
MQTT support
- As long as you can reach your broker, you can now use notifications and mediaplayer functionality wherever you are
- No more messing with port reservations or firewall rules
-
Autodiscovery
- Your devices show up by magic in HA's integration page
- No more looking up your device's IP
- Don't use MQTT? You can still add your device using the local API, through a config flow! No more yaml :)
-
Improved mediaplayer
- Support for seek, position and cover art
- Requires a media application that supports Windows' media API, eg. Spotify
- So so snappy! No more lagging behind
- Support for seek, position and cover art
-
Improved notifications
- Use device triggers to easily create new actions
- Change the default notification title through UI
- Use media_source in the image field
-
One integration to rule (integrate?) them all
- Contains both notifications and mediaplayer
- Both MQTT and the legacy local API are supported
- Not ready to switch? The old integrations still work
Documentation will follow later, but the new notification action docs posted in the last release notes still apply:
https://hassagent.readthedocs.io/en/latest/notifications/notification-actionable/
The integration's pending to be merged on HACS, but you can manually add the repo:

This beta is a release candidate, so the more testers the better :)
