Installation

This provides a sensor that shows details of a YouTube Video by Title. This can be used to show details for a currently playing YouTube Video on a media player where you only have the Title available (such as AppleTV).

  1. Make sure that Home Assistant Community Store (HACS) is setup.
  2. Go to integrations in HACS
  3. Click the 3 dots in the top right corner and choose Custom repositories
  4. Paste the following into the repository input field https://github.com/hokiebrian/youtube_details and choose category of Integration
  5. Click add and restart HA to let the integration load
  6. Go to settings and choose Devices & Services
  7. Click Add Integration and search for YouTube Video Search
  8. Configure the integration by copying your YouTube API Key when prompted

Usage

Use an automation that is triggered by a Title change on YouTube Media, call the service youtube_search.search_video and fill in the mandatory field video_title. The service will update sensor.youtube_search with the video ID in the state field and all of the video attributes as attributes.
