Vogel's MotionMount

The motionmount integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more] allows you to control the position of your TVM 7675 Pro SIGNATURE MotionMount from Vogel’s.

This integration uses the Ethernet (IP) connection of your MotionMount. It’s not possible to connect using the RS-232 connection.

It provides information about the current position of the mount and allows setting a new position.

A use case would be to position the TV based on whether anyone is actively watching. The MotionMount provides an HDMI connection to monitor whether the TV is turned on and in response move it to a preset position or the last known position. However, if you also use the TV for background music, you probably don’t want the MotionMount to extend. By using a presence sensor to check whether anyone is actually in front of the TV, you can ensure the MotionMount only extends when the TV is actively being watched.
