Hi everyone, I’m diving into the world of Home Assistant and trying to integrate some custom-built devices. I’m an experienced Python developer, but I’m finding the documentation a bit challenging. I have a custom doorbell named Thallo that outputs sound and can control volume via HTTP requests. I tried creating a media_player component but ran into some errors. Here’s what I did:
I set up a thallo/media_player.py file with the necessary imports and classes. The script makes HTTP requests to control the volume. However, when I added it to my config file, I got an error saying the platform wasn’t found. I’m wondering if there’s something I’m missing in the setup or if there’s a better way to integrate this device.
I also came across some community resources and forums where others have successfully integrated custom devices. It seems like using the media_player platform might not be the only option. Maybe there’s a different approach or a more straightforward method to get this working.
If anyone has experience with custom integrations or knows of a good documentation resource, I’d really appreciate the help. I’m excited to get this working and contribute to the community with my solution! Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.
