MadVR Envy Home Assistant

Attention

Note

🎉This custom component is now officially in core. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/madvr/ This repo is not the right place to get this integration anymore.🎉

This is the Home Assistant MadVR Envy Component implementing my MadVR Envy library

Features

• Real time Attributes for Incoming Signal, Outgoing Signal, Aspect ratio
• Wake on lan built in
• HDR Flag to trigger brightness automation
• Power off, standby
• Navigation Keys
• Profiles
• Menu
• etc

Why use this?

Automate your theater based on Envy attributes like HDR flag, aspect ratio etc. E.x If hdr_flag = true, set JVC picture mode to XYZ. The HDR flag for the envy is broken for NZ models so this is really useful.

You can also trigger masking systems based on the aspect ratio reported by Envy

Turn off Envy via IP control

Create remotes inside HA Dashboard to send commands like Menu, Right, etc. Basically remake the remote in the UI.

Installation

This is currently only a custom component. Unlikely to make it into HA core because their process is just too burdensome and I strongly disagree with their deployment model for integrations.

Install HACS, then install the component by adding this as a custom repo https://hacs.xyz/docs/faq/custom_repositories

You can also just copy all the files into your custom_components folder but then you won't get automatic updates.

Home Assistant Setup

Add this to configuration.yaml

I recommend a scan_interval of 3

remote:
  - platform: madvr
    name: envy
    host: 192.168.88.38
    mac: (mac addr)
    scan_interval: 3

When you call the remote.turn_off service, it will shut down the Envy and also close the TCP connection.

Profiles and 3D support

Set your profile to Source 2

For the following settings, save them to Source 2 Resolution: 1080p Menu: optimized for 1080p Screen Boundaries: None

Then use this plugin to send

ActivateProfile, SOURCE, 2

You can switch between 1 and 2 for 3d or 2d easily

You can also use CUSTOM and use your own profile groups.

Automate JVC Picture Modes for HDR

alias: JVC - Envy picture mode HDR
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - remote.envy
    attribute: hdr_flag
condition: []
action:
  - if:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: remote.envy
        attribute: hdr_flag
        state: true
    then:
      - service: remote.send_command
        data:
          command: picture_mode,user2
        target:
          entity_id: remote.nz7
  - if:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: remote.envy
        attribute: hdr_flag
        state: false
    then:
      - service: remote.send_command
        data:
          command: picture_mode,user1
        target:
          entity_id: remote.nz7
mode: single

Useful Stuff

I wrote this for my NZ7 but you can change the commands to Envy commands and it will work the same way.

I used this to re-create a remote in HA. Add the YAML to your dashboard to get a grid which resembles most of the remote. Other functions can be used via remote.send_command. See the library readme for details.

This is just an example. Add this sensor to your configuration.yml. Replace the nz7 with the name of your entity. Restart HA.
