Lepelot commented 2 years ago

Good morning, I have been trying to integrate my Freebox Delta POP player in my HA set up but for some reason I can't get my hands on my remote-control code. Could it be that this procedure isn't applicable to this POP player? or am I just not looking at the right place, I can't find System Information in Freebox main menu >> Réglages >> System Information. Can you guys help? Pierre

I don't have one to test, but it's seem that on the pop version, you have a button behind the player to associate the remote, that show the code on the screen.

This is what I find : "Voici comment récuperer votre code télécommande sans télécommande : Il suffit d’appuyer sur le bouton d’association situé derrière votre Freebox TV. Vous savez le bouton pour lequel il faut un cure dent pour appuyer. Cela aura pour effet d’afficher le code de votre télécommande sur votre téléviseur."

Thank you for your response. My POP player looks like this picture. There is no "pin hole" at the back, only a reset button on the side (second picture) which is used to pair the remote if necessary. Perhaps someone who has one will see this discussion. Thanks.

Hi @Lepelot, You can find a Freebox_player component in HACS. I never tried it as I don't have needs for controling my Freebox Pop player with HA, but according to the doc it should do the trick:

Freebox Player Custom Component for Home Assistant

Based on pure-python library, this custom component enables remote control on your Freebox Player devices.

This component is tested on Freebox Delta, but should work too on FreeBox Revolution, mini and crystal (feedsback will be appreciated)

Features Supports On / Off Supports changing channels Supports volume changes Supports navigation controls Even more incoming

You can find infos & cards example here https://community.home-assistant.io/t/freeplayer-freebox-player/186487/3

Thanks for your help, I did tryed this integration but it requires a "Code of remote control" in the yaml config file and unfortunatly, I am unable to locate this code with my POP player. This is where my problem is. I am hoping that someone using this same player will shed some light.

mmm maybe not as the Pop is from what I know the only box from Free with Android.

look for Android TV remote, it finaly should be easyer to find than a Freebox one...

Well, thank you again, this was an excellent suggestion. Based on this I selected the most recent/complete App I could find to control this Android POP player, ie. Zank Remote. Once installed on both my iPhone and the POP player **, I was able to control the POP player with the iPhone and then with Home Assistant via the Android TV integration. I am now exploring the various services proposed by the integration; this is fantastic I really appreciate your help.
