Ambient Music

A Home Assistant integration for playing ambient music on supported players via Music Assistant.

Important

This integration relies on Music Assistant, and may not work correctly without it.

Tip

Whilst this integration is quite new, only some providers are currently supported.
These are:

• Spotify
• Youtube Music
• Local Files via Music Assistant
• Plex Media Server (via MASS)

• Apple Music

We are working on adding more with each release, but if you would like to request a specific provider please log a GitHub Issue and tag it as a feature request.

Description

An integration that enables automatic playback of music via Home Assistant

The currently supported music providers are:

• Spotify
• Youtube Music
• Music Assistant Local Files
• Plex Media Server (via MASS)
• Tidal
• Apple Music

When configured, playlists will fade out and back in from each-other seamlessly when changed, and fade in and out when Ambient Music is turned on or off.

User configurable options include:

• Default volume
• Music fade in time
• Music fade out time
• Time to wait between swapping playlists
• Playlist names and spotify IDs
• Blockers to prevent Ambient Music from running
  • available via either entity selection or template

Planned future helpers, switches and/or user-configurable settings

• Configurable sleep mode.
  • Sleep mode will play a user-selected playlist at night, based on user-set time of day binary sensors.
    This will override any currently selected playlist.
• Configurable hours
  • Ambient music will play only during set hours, based on user-set time of day binary sensors.
