Linn / OpenHome

The Linn / OpenHome integration allows you to connect an Openhome Compliant Renderer to Home Assistant such as a Linn Products Ltd HiFi streamer. It will allow you to control media playback, volume, source and see the current playing item.

Configuration

To add the Linn / OpenHome integration to your Home Assistant instance, use this My button:

Linn / OpenHome can be auto-discovered by Home Assistant. If an instance was found, it will be shown as Discovered. You can then set it up right away.

Manual configuration steps

If it wasn’t discovered automatically, don’t worry! You can set up a manual integration entry:

  • Browse to your Home Assistant instance.

  • Go to Settings > Devices & Services.

  • In the bottom right corner, select the Add Integration button.

  • From the list, select Linn / OpenHome.

  • Follow the instructions on screen to complete the setup.
