Linkplay w/ Home Assistant

Home Automation

Hello,

New here…

I cannot seem to use the Up2Stream Amp with Home Assistant using LinkPlay (auto configured via discovery).

I configure it automatically with HA and I get the following error:

It seems that the HA is trying on HTTPS but I assume the Arylic doesn’t respond on HTTPS but HTTP. Can someone please confirm what needs to be done to get this working in Home Assistant, this was the main reason I bought this device. Does the firmware on the Up2Stream Amp needs to be updated to support HTTPS???

Please help

this won’t fully help, but i just set up my 2.1 amp via auto discovery in homeassistant with no obvious errors like you have.

there does seem to be an issue with the controls not really working though (play/pause/skip) but volume, input select, EQ etc all seem to work and it displays the current content.

So seems like something else is going on with your system. LMK if there is anything you want me to check on my setup for comparison.

I ended installing Music Assistant and via the DLNA provider within it, add the Arylic. It’s seems to work a little better with my Jellyfin music collection. More specifically I also wanted announcements to play while pause/playing the background music. I seem to have better luck with this than I ever did with configuring Linkplay directly in HA. Not sure if this is best advisable setup and hoped to get Linkplay working.

Discovered linkplay yesterday and just came back here to mention it… You beat me to it! Seems like a pretty good solution.
