Installation

2. Manual

Install it as any custom homeassistant component:

1. Download custom_components folder.
2. Copy the falcon_pi_player directory to the custom_components directory of your homeassistant installation. Your custom_components directory resides within your homeassistant configuration directory.

Configuration

1. Enable the component by editing your configuration.yaml file (within the config directory as well). Edit it by adding the following lines:

   # Example configuration.yaml entry
   media_player:
     - platform: falcon_pi_player
       name: FPP_NAME
       host: IP_ADDRESS (or hostname)
