HASS-SpeakercraftMediaPlayer

Speakercraft MZC Platform for Home Assistant

Repository created for install via HACS based on code by @sjeffrey101 here

Hardware set-up

Desiged to be used via direct connection (using RS232) via the MZC Control Port. (Does not currently work via the RSA-1.0 interface.)

If Home Assistant is not in proximity to SpeakerCraft MZC device then a remote serial device can be used to access the MZC remotely, see bottom of page.

MZC must be at firmware 2.2.8 (latest), if not flash it with EZ tools after downloading firmware from https://speakercraft.com/wp-content/uploads/tools/firmware_updater_03-02-11.exe

While this integration is designed to work and allow replacement of the SpeakerCraft control panels, the zones do need to be set-up via EZ-tools for the integration to function.

Example Configuration.yaml

speakercraft_media:
        zones: 
          1: "Lounge Speakers"
          2: "Kitchen Speakers"
          3: "Den Speakers"
          4: "Outside Speakers"
          5: "Master Speakers"
          6: "bed1 Speakers"
          7: "bed2 Speakers"
          8: "Bathroom Speakers"
        serial_port: "/dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB2.0-Ser_-if00-port0"
        sources:
          3: "Sr3"
          4: "Sr4"
          5: "Alexa"
        default_volume: 20
        default_source: 5
        power_target: switch.speakercraft # optional parameter for when powering the amplifier or associated equipment via a smart plug

Master Power

As per above config, the entity switch.speakercraft should exist which functions as the main masteroff switch.

This is intended to be used to contol a smart plug powering the amplifier. This allows it to be turned on remotely and automatically turned off when all zone are off (60 second delay implemented)

All Off

There is a button for turning all zones off

Party Mode

A switch is added for each zones for "Party Mode", the entity name is the name of the zone suffixed with "_party"

Tone

There are buttons for bass/treble up/down and number sliders

Logging

If you are having issues or want to see how the component works, you can enable logging for this integration to configuration.yaml with something similar to as follows

logger:
  default: warn
  logs:
    custom_components.speakercraft_media: debug

Remote

Generic remote serial devices are expected to be able to be made to work with this integration.

A confirmed workinging confiuration is documented below:

Serial Port to be setup as 56700 baud, 8 bit, no partity, 1 stop bit. Must be set-up as TCP Server

Serial connection string serial_port: socket://192.168.0.7:23?logging=debug
