mixer-card

A Lovelace Audio Mixer card for Home Assistant. Includes the ability to change volume and mute channels.

Description

This card provides a series of vertical 'faders', each reflecting a 'channel' that allows you to control the audio volume of a number of audio sources.

Each fader has three elements

A Fader - giving the current set volume for the channel
A Display element - giving the current volume.
An Active/Mute button - Allow you to mute the channel

Compatibility

A fader to be controlled is expected to be one of two things:

a number entity with values ranging from 0-1.
a media_player

Options

Configuration is done by using YAML in the card config.

Themes

This card can display the faders in two different options.

modern (Default) This renders the faders as larger 'block' type faders similar to home assistant light faders. This allows easier access for touch etc.

physical This makes the faders look more like physical faders
