Custom component for Home Assistant to fetch song lyrics from Genius by tracking media player entities. Component allows service calls for custom automations.
Genius Lyrics
page should automatically load (or find it in the HACS Store).Install
Copy the genius_lyrics
directory from custom_components
in this repository, and place inside your
Home Assistant installation's custom_components
directory.
Install this integration via HACS or manually and reboot Home Assistant.
Configure Genius Lyrics
via integrations page or press the blue button below.
Create markdown card in lovelace. All created sensors are named after the media player and appended with _lyrics
.
Below, media player
foobar
is just an example. Replace it with your media player's entity name.
type: vertical-stack
cards:
- type: media-control
entity: media_player.foobar
- type: conditional
conditions:
- entity: sensor.foobar_lyrics
state: "on"
card:
type: markdown
content: >-
![image]({{
states.sensor.foobar_lyrics.attributes.media_image }})
## {{ states.sensor.foobar_lyrics.attributes.media_artist }} - {{ states.sensor.foobar_lyrics.attributes.media_title }}
{{ states.sensor.foobar_lyrics.attributes.media_lyrics }}
The above lovelace card groups the media player and lyrics sensor together. The conditional portion will hide the lyrics sensor when the media player is off.
Service optionally accepts entity_id
. Returns response when omitted, otherwise updates sensor entity attributes.
{
"media_artist": "Protoje",
"media_title": "Mind of a King",
"entity_id": "sensor.foobar_lyrics"
}
media_artist: "Protoje"
media_title: "Mind of a King"
entity_id: sensor.foobar_lyrics
