It has 55 installs sharing analytics, needs the vendor's cloud and was last updated October 26, 2026. From the [repository description](https://github.com/jorgediez/ha-youtube-on-tv): > See and control the YouTube app on your TV from Home Assistant: what's playing, mute ads, auto-skip them, manage the queue. [Open in My Home Assistant](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/hacs_repository/?owner=jorgediez&repository=ha-youtube-on-tv&category=integration) On Home Assistant 2026.11 or newer? [Open it in the Marketplace](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/marketplace_repository/?owner=jorgediez&repository=ha-youtube-on-tv&category=integration) ## Supports - **Uses the vendor's cloud**: Needs an internet connection and an account with the vendor. - **Found by itself**: Home Assistant spots it on the network and offers to add it. - **From the Marketplace**: Installed through the Marketplace, formerly HACS. - **Actively maintained**: Its author released or pushed a change in the last six months. ## Setting it up Install it from the Marketplace and restart Home Assistant, then add it under Settings, Devices and services. ### Connect by IP address - **Host**: Hostname or IP address of the TV. ### Connect with a TV code - **TV code**: The 12-digit code shown on the TV. Spaces are ignored. ### After setup - **Actions that open YouTube**: A TV added with a code can't be opened by the integration. When its YouTube app is offline, these actions run before playing a video or turning the player on; then the integration waits up to 45 seconds for the app to come online. Example: turn on the streaming box, then select its YouTube app as the source. Leave empty to send commands without opening.
