The instnt hub integration

What the instnt hub integration adds to Home Assistant, and when you can install it.

What's coming

instnt hub is an integration of its own for Home Assistant. It is optional. With the integration:

  • you get lyrics on the music face;
  • the queue gets artwork for each song;
  • the music face gets speaker settings;
  • you set up the companion once in Home Assistant instead of on every iPad: console, game title, artwork, blinds, soundbar and TV;
  • you can turn on three automations: blinds move while gaming, the soundbar follows the console, and the TV turns off when the console does. They are off by default.

What you can do now

  • Without the integration, the music face, the queue (without artwork), the companion and the cameras work as usual.
  • You set up the companion in the app, under Settings › Companion; see PS5 companion.
  • You create automations like "blinds closed when the PS5 turns on" yourself in Home Assistant; see Automations.
