Configuration Variables

Looking for your configuration file?
host string Required

IP address of the device, e.g., 192.168.1.32.

name string (Optional, default: Harman Kardon AVR)

Name of the device. If not set, Harman Kardon AVR is used.

port integer (Optional, default: 10025)

The port to talk to the receiver. If not set, 10025 is used.

A few notes:

  • The newest firmware automatically shuts down the AVR after a certain amount of time. The AVR is then not available on the network anymore, so the ‘on’ command will not work.
  • The AVR has no endpoints to determine the volume, muted, playing etc., so if the remote control is used, HA will not know the new states of the device.
