Media Player
A media player is any device Home Assistant controls through a media_player entity: a TV, a streaming box, or a networked speaker, soundbar, or streaming amplifier. It reports playback state and accepts power, volume, source, and app commands, all over the local network.
Our top picks
The brands we reach for first, best to 3.
-
Sonos
14 modelsSonos speakers, soundbars, subwoofers and amplifiers that work with Selora and Home Assistant. The sonos integration discovers every room over UPnP on your own network and exposes each player as a media_player entity with grouping, favorites, alarms, EQ and TTS announcements, no Sonos cloud account required for control.
-
WiiM
9 modelsWiiM network streamers, streaming amplifiers, and powered speakers that work with Selora and Home Assistant. The dedicated wiim integration, added in Home Assistant 2026.4, controls every model locally over the network and presents each streaming endpoint as a media_player entity with power, volume, source, and multiroom grouping. The Sub Pro is a system subwoofer rather than a streaming endpoint, so it has no media_player of its own. No cloud account is needed for control. Most units also answer to the older linkplay integration and to Google Cast or DLNA, though which of those a given model exposes varies and the Mini has no Cast at all, so standardize on the wiim integration and disable the others to avoid adding one device several times.
-
Bluesound
9 modelsBluesound makes BluOS hi-res streamers, streaming amplifiers, and wireless speakers, and Selora deploys them with Home Assistant. Every Bluesound player runs BluOS, and the local bluesound integration controls it over the network as a media_player, handling power, volume, source, and playback without a cloud account.

Everything Selora deploys and supports in this role , plus 11 we no longer recommend. Those sort last and carry a not-recommended badge .
Amp
The Sonos streaming amplifier for passive speakers: 125 W per channel, HDMI ARC for a TV, RCA line-in and a line-level subwoofer output, in a rack-friendly half-width chassis. Home Assistant sees the zone it drives as one media_player through the local sonos integration.
Arc Ultra
The flagship Sonos Dolby Atmos soundbar: 9.1.4 channels from fourteen drivers, including the Sound Motion woofer that fits real bass into a slim bar. Home Assistant controls it locally through the sonos integration as one media_player, with the full set of home theater switches, an audio delay control and a Dialog Level select unique to this model.
Era 100
The current Sonos bookshelf speaker and the sensible default for any room that needs audio: Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, and stereo drivers in a body small enough for a nightstand. Home Assistant gets a media_player for playback, grouping and TTS announcements over the local network.
Amp Multi
The multi-zone Sonos amplifier for distributed audio: eight amplified channels at 125 W each, assignable across up to four zones, in a rack-mountable chassis with a GaN power supply. Each zone joins the Sonos system as its own room, which is how it reaches Home Assistant.
Arc
The original Sonos Atmos soundbar: eleven drivers, upward firing height channels, HDMI eARC and an Ethernet port. Still in thousands of installs and still fully supported by the local sonos integration, which gives it the same media_player and the same home theater controls as the Arc Ultra, minus the controls specific to the newer bar.
Beam (Gen 2)
The compact Sonos soundbar for TVs up to about 65 inches, with HDMI eARC and Dolby Atmos processing in a bar small enough to sit under a wall-mounted panel. Home Assistant sees the same media_player and home theater controls as the larger bars, over the local network.
Era 100 Pro
The Era 100 rebuilt for professional installation: powered over Ethernet, sold in pairs, with a dedicated surface mount that pans and tilts. One structured cable per speaker carries both power and network, and Home Assistant treats each one as an ordinary Sonos room.
Era 100 SL
The Era 100 with the microphones removed at the hardware level. Same speaker, same local sonos integration and same media_player entity in Home Assistant, minus the voice assistant that some clients will not accept in a bedroom or a boardroom.
Era 300
The spatial audio Sonos speaker: six drivers including an upward firing tweeter for Dolby Atmos music, and the only Sonos speaker that works as an Atmos-capable surround. Home Assistant controls it as a media_player through the local sonos integration.
Five
The largest single-box Sonos speaker, with a 3.5 mm line-in and an Ethernet port. No microphones and no Bluetooth, which makes it the analog-friendly, privacy-friendly end of the range and a straightforward media_player in Home Assistant.
Move 2
The large portable Sonos speaker: stereo drivers, an IP56 body and a battery good for a full day, on Wi-Fi at home and Bluetooth away from it. Home Assistant adds a battery level sensor and charging state to the usual media_player.
Port
The Sonos streamer for an existing amplifier or receiver: RCA line-out, digital coax out, RCA line-in and a 12 V trigger, with Ethernet for the rack. It brings a legacy audio system into the Sonos system as a room Home Assistant can control.
Ray
The entry Sonos soundbar: optical input only, no microphones, no HDMI. It still joins the same Sonos system and appears in Home Assistant as a media_player, which makes it the cheapest way to put a controllable speaker in a small TV room.
Roam 2
The small portable Sonos speaker, IP67 rated with a dedicated Bluetooth button so switching modes no longer needs the app. On Wi-Fi it is a normal Sonos room in Home Assistant, with battery level and charging state alongside the media_player.

Bravia 8 II (K-65XR80M2)
The Sony Bravia 8 II is Sony's flagship QD-OLED, the picture-quality pick of the Bravia range. The local braviatv integration exposes it as a media_player with power, volume, source, and app control, so movie-night scenes, doorbell pauses, and bedtime all-off routines run against the best panel in the house.
Bravia 9 II (K-65XR90M2)
The Sony Bravia 9 II (2026) is Sony's flagship True RGB mini-LED TV, tuned to match its professional mastering monitors.

Bravia 7 II (K-65XR70M2)
The Sony Bravia 7 II (2026) brings Sony's True RGB mini-LED technology to the mid-range. Home Assistant's local braviatv integration controls it as a media_player: power, volume, source, and app launch, giving living rooms the same automation surface as the flagship theater sets.
Bravia 3 II (K-65XR30M2)
The Sony Bravia 3 II (2026) is the entry point to the Bravia range: a 4K LED Google TV with a 120 Hz panel at a mainstream price. The local braviatv integration exposes it as a media_player with power, volume, source, and app control, so guest rooms and dens automate exactly like the flagship rooms.
Apple TV 4K (3rd generation)
The Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) is the reference streaming player for Home Assistant. The local apple_tv integration exposes it as a media_player with push-based playback state, remote navigation, and app launching, so scenes can start a movie, dim the lights on play, and pause the room when the doorbell rings.
HomePod (2nd generation)
The full-size HomePod (2nd generation) is a Siri speaker that doubles as infrastructure: an always-on Apple Home hub and a Thread border router. Home Assistant reaches it over AirPlay through the local apple_tv integration, so it is an announcement and multiroom audio target rather than a fully controllable player.
HomePod mini
The HomePod mini is the cheapest way to put an Apple Home hub and a Thread border router in a room. Home Assistant sees it over AirPlay through the local apple_tv integration as a media_player for announcements and multiroom audio.
OLED S90H
The Samsung OLED S90H is the volume OLED of the 2026 range and the only Samsung panel that starts at 42 inches, so the same integration covers a study monitor and an 83-inch living room screen.

Neo QLED 4K QN80H
The Samsung Neo QLED 4K QN80H is the bright-room workhorse of the 2026 lineup: Quantum Mini LED full array backlight, 144Hz refresh, and sizes from 55 up to 100 inches.

Home Assistant's local samsungtv integration exposes it as a media_player and a remote, so the reference screen in the theater room drives playback-aware lighting and one-touch scenes.
OLED S85H
The Samsung OLED S85H is the entry point into 2026 OLED: the same panel technology and the same local control, with the NQ4 AI Gen2 processor and a 120Hz refresh rate instead of the flagship's 165Hz. Home Assistant sees it as a media_player and a remote through the local samsungtv integration.
Neo QLED 8K QN990H
The Samsung Neo QLED 8K QN990H is the 2026 flagship: Quantum Mini LED Pro backlighting, the NQ8 AI Gen3 processor, and 8K AI upscaling on an 85-inch Glare Free panel. Home Assistant's local samsungtv integration drives it as a media_player and a remote, so the largest screen in the house becomes a scene trigger rather than a separate remote.
Neo QLED 4K QN70H
The Samsung Neo QLED 4K QN70H is the entry Quantum Mini LED set for 2026, starting at 43 inches, which makes it the practical choice for secondary rooms that still need to answer to a scene. Home Assistant controls it locally through the samsungtv integration as a media_player and a remote.
Micro RGB R95H
The Samsung Micro RGB R95H is the 2026 halo product, the first TV backlit by micro-sized red, green, and blue LEDs rather than white ones, certified at 100% of the BT.2020 colour space and offered up to 115 inches. Home Assistant's local samsungtv integration still treats it as an ordinary media_player, so the showpiece screen automates like any other set.
Micro RGB R85H
The Samsung Micro RGB R85H brings the RGB LED backlight down a tier for 2026, with Micro RGB Precision Color and a 144Hz panel in sizes from 55 to 85 inches. Home Assistant controls it locally through the samsungtv integration as a media_player and a remote, no Samsung account required.
The Frame Pro LS03HW
The Frame Pro LS03HW is Samsung's 2026 art TV with a Neo QLED panel behind the matte, glare-free coating and a Wireless One Connect box that keeps a single power cable running to the wall. Home Assistant's local samsungtv integration controls power, input, and volume as a media_player, which is what turns Art Mode into something an automation can schedule.
The Frame LS03HE
The Frame LS03HE is the 2026 standard art TV: QLED picture behind the matte anti-reflection finish, a customisable bezel, and connections built into the panel instead of an outboard box. Home Assistant's local samsungtv integration gives it a media_player and a remote entity, so it joins scenes like any other screen.
The Terrace Full Sun LST9D
The Terrace LST9D is Samsung's full-sun outdoor TV, an IP56-rated Neo QLED 4K panel bright enough for a deck with no shade, in 65 and 75 inches. Home Assistant controls it locally through the samsungtv integration, which is what lets an outdoor scene power it down with the landscape lighting.
The Terrace Partial Sun LST7D
The Terrace LST7D is the partial-sun outdoor TV, an IP56-rated Neo QLED 4K panel with Quantum Matrix mini LED backlighting for covered patios and pergolas, in 55, 65, and 75 inches. Home Assistant sees it as a local media_player through the samsungtv integration.
Q-Series Soundbar Q800H
The HW-Q800H is the mid-range 2026 Q-Series bar: 5.1.2 channels with physical side and up-firing drivers plus a compact wireless subwoofer, Q-Symphony, and Eclipsa Audio. Home Assistant reaches it through the SmartThings cloud, so the TV's local media_player remains the reliable automation target.
Q-Series Soundbar Q990H
The HW-Q990H is Samsung's flagship 11.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos system for 2026: a 7.0.2 main bar, wireless 4.0.2 rear speakers, and a compact dual 8-inch subwoofer. Home Assistant reaches Samsung audio only through the SmartThings cloud, so plan on the TV's local media_player carrying the automation and the bar following over HDMI eARC.
Q-Series Soundbar QS90H
The HW-QS90H is new for 2026, an all-in-one 7.1.2-channel bar with thirteen drivers and a built-in quad bass woofer, so there is no separate subwoofer to hide. Its Convertible Fit design and gyro sensor re-map the channels between wall and shelf mounting. Home Assistant control runs through the SmartThings cloud.
Roku Pro Series TV
The Roku Pro Series is Roku's flagship TV line: 4K QLED with mini-LED backlighting, Dolby Vision IQ, and a 120 Hz panel. Because the streaming platform is the TV, Home Assistant's local roku integration controls the whole set as one media_player: power, volume, HDMI inputs, app launch, and playback state for scene and bedtime automations.
Roku Plus Series TV
The Roku Plus Series is Roku's mid-range TV line: 4K QLED with mini-LED backlighting, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos. Home Assistant's local roku integration controls the set as a single media_player with power, volume, HDMI input selection, app launch, and playback state, making it an easy fit for playback-aware room automations.
Roku Ultra
The Roku Ultra is Roku's flagship streaming player, with 4K Dolby Vision output and wired Ethernet. Home Assistant's local roku integration exposes it as a media_player with power, volume, app launch, and playback state, so a movie-night scene can open the right app while the lights dim, and bedtime routines shut it down.
Roku Streaming Stick Plus
The Roku Streaming Stick Plus is Roku's current mainstream 4K HDR stick, an inexpensive way to give any TV a clean Home Assistant media_player. The local roku integration provides power, volume, app launch, and playback state, so even a guest-room TV can join playback-aware lighting and bedtime all-off routines.
Fire TV Cube (3rd Gen)
The Fire TV Cube is Amazon's flagship streaming player, with wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6E, and hands-free Alexa. Home Assistant controls it locally over ADB through the androidtv integration: power, volume, app launch, and playback state, so it can anchor playback-aware lighting, doorbell pauses, and bedtime shutdown in the media room.
Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd Gen)
The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is Amazon's most powerful streaming stick, with Wi-Fi 6E and 4K Dolby Vision output. Home Assistant controls it locally over ADB through the androidtv integration: power, volume, app launch, and playback state, bringing any TV it is plugged into within reach of playback-aware scenes and bedtime routines.
Fire TV Stick 4K Plus
The Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is Amazon's current mainstream 4K stick with Wi-Fi 6. It still runs Fire OS, so Home Assistant controls it locally over ADB through the androidtv integration: power, volume, app launch, and playback state, a low-cost way to make an existing TV automation-ready.
Google TV Streamer (4K)
The Google TV Streamer (4K) is Google's flagship streaming box and the successor to the Chromecast line. Home Assistant pairs the local cast integration for playback and app state with androidtv_remote for power, volume, and key presses, so one box gives a room a full media_player: launch apps in a scene, dim lights on play, and shut the screen down at bedtime.
Nest Hub (2nd gen)
The Nest Hub (2nd gen) is Google's 7-inch smart display and a Thread border router for the Google Home fabric. Home Assistant adds it through the local cast integration as a media_player for announcements and music, and Home Assistant Cast can put a dashboard on its screen, which makes it an inexpensive kitchen or bedside control surface.
Nest Hub Max
The Nest Hub Max is Google's 10-inch smart display with a built-in camera and a Thread border router for the Google Home fabric. Home Assistant adds it through the local cast integration as a media_player for announcements and music, and Home Assistant Cast can put a dashboard on its larger screen. Google has stopped making it, so it suits homes that already own one.
QM8L Series
The TCL QM8L (2026) is TCL's mainstream SQD-Mini LED flagship and the model we specify most often from the brand. It runs Google TV, so Home Assistant pairs with it locally through androidtv_remote and gets power, volume, app launch, and D-pad control as a media_player and remote, with no TCL account in the path.
RM9L Series
The TCL RM9L (2026) is TCL's first RGB Mini-LED television, an 85 to 115 inch halo set built for dedicated media rooms. It runs the same Google TV platform as the rest of the range, so the local androidtv_remote integration gives Home Assistant power, volume, app launch, and remote key control without touching TCL's cloud.
QM7L Series
The TCL QM7L (2026) is the mid-range SQD-Mini LED set, sold from 55 to 98 inches. Google TV underneath means the local androidtv_remote integration controls it exactly like the QM8L above it: power, volume, app launch, and key presses over the LAN, which makes it the value pick for secondary rooms on a Selora system.
QM6K Series
The TCL QM6K is TCL's entry QD-Mini LED Google TV, the cheapest set in the range that still gets full local control. Home Assistant pairs with it over androidtv_remote for power, volume, and app launch, which is enough to fold a guest room or basement TV into all-off and movie-night automations without a streaming player.
S-Series Roku TV (S4R)
The TCL S4R is TCL's current Roku TV, a basic 4K panel with the deepest local control of any TCL set. The roku integration reaches it over Roku ECP with no account and no ADB: power, volume, HDMI inputs as selectable sources, app launch, and playback state, which makes it the easiest TCL to automate even though it is the cheapest.
QM64L Series
The TCL QM64L (2026) is TCL's QD-Mini LED set with Fire TV built in, sold exclusively through Amazon. The panel is close to the QM8L, but the platform is not: Fire OS has no Android TV Remote support, so Home Assistant reaches it only through the ADB-based androidtv integration.
F8D Series
The TCL F8D (2026) is TCL's budget QLED with Fire TV built in, sold from 50 to 98 inches on Amazon. Like every Fire OS set it is reachable from Home Assistant only over ADB through the androidtv integration, which works but needs the developer-options pairing kept in mind at handover.
4-Series Roku TV (S425)
The TCL 4-Series S425 is an earlier-generation 4K Roku TV, sold in Canada as the 43S425-CA. The local roku integration reaches it over Roku ECP with no account and no cloud: power, volume, HDMI inputs as selectable sources, app launch, and playback state, plus a remote entity for key presses. Many of these sets are already on the wall, and they automate as well as the current S4R.
OLED evo AI C6
The LG OLED evo C6 (2026) is the sweet spot of LG's OLED range on picture and price, and the local webostv integration exposes it as a media_player with power, volume, HDMI input, and app control. Selora no longer recommends it: the September 2026 webOS privacy findings cover the whole 2026 LG television lineup.
OLED evo AI G6
The LG OLED evo G6 is LG's flagship gallery-design OLED (2026), built to mount flush to the wall. Home Assistant's local webostv integration controls it as a media_player: power, volume, HDMI input, and app launch, so a gallery wall can double as the centerpiece of movie-night scenes and playback-aware lighting.
OLED evo AI W6
The LG OLED evo W6 is the wireless flagship of the 2026 range: a 9.9mm wallpaper panel that sits flush to the wall while a separate Zero Connect Box carries every source over a 4K 165Hz wireless link. Home Assistant's local webostv integration controls it exactly like any other LG set, which makes it the cleanest way to put a screen on a wall that has no equipment behind it.
OLED evo AI B6
The LG OLED evo B6 (2026) brings LG's OLED picture and full webOS control to a lower price point. Home Assistant's local webostv integration drives power, volume, HDMI input, and app launch, so budget-conscious installs still get complete playback-aware automation in secondary rooms.
Micro RGB evo AI MRGB95
The MRGB95 is LG's first flagship RGB-backlit LCD, replacing white LEDs with individually controlled red, green, and blue emitters for OLED-class color at brightness levels OLED cannot reach. It runs the same webOS platform as LG's OLEDs, so the local webostv integration gives it identical media_player control in the very large sizes that great rooms need.
QNED evo AI QNED92
The LG QNED evo QNED92 is LG's mini-LED flagship for bright rooms: quantum-dot color with high-brightness backlighting where OLED reflections would struggle. It runs the same webOS platform, so Home Assistant's local webostv integration gives it identical media_player control: power, volume, inputs, and app launch.
QNED evo AI QNED84B
The QNED84B is LG's mainstream Mini LED for 2026, spanning 55 to 100 inches at a price that makes it the sensible choice for bedrooms, guest rooms, and secondary spaces. It runs webOS, so Home Assistant's local webostv integration gives it the same media_player and remote entities as the OLED flagships.
StanbyME 2
The StanbyME 2 is a 27-inch battery-powered webOS touchscreen that detaches from its rolling stand, built for kitchens, bedrooms, and patios rather than a wall. It answers the same local webostv integration as LG's full-size sets, which makes it an unusually capable roaming dashboard as well as a second screen.
