<scope>Dashboards (Lovelace), the Great Room AV stack, and household automations on `home.vino.network`. Access/SSH/API/Z-Wave infra is owned by the **fritzlab** skill [[home-assistant]] (`reference/home-assistant.md`). Token: `VINO_HA_TOKEN` in `~/.env`.</scope>
Config is version-controlled at **`dfritz/home-assistant`** (code.fritzlab.net; clone `~/code/git/code.fritzlab.net/dfritz/home-assistant`): a manual mirror of the safe parts of HAOS `/config` — YAML config + includes, blueprints, `custom_components/frame_art`, `www/` cards, and a `dashboards/` snapshot of the storage-mode Lovelace (export, not live-sync). Gitignored: `secrets.yaml`, `.storage/`, the DB, `*.pem`, logs, deps/venv. Externally-managed components stay in their own repos: celebright → `dfritz/celebright`, hdmi_matrix → `dfritz/haas-hdmi-matrix-custom-component`. No CI auto-deploy — sync via `rsync -e "ssh -6"` to/from `home-assistant.vino.network:/config/`.
Both dashboards (`Overview` url_path `lovelace`, `Map`) are **storage mode** (UI-managed), not YAML — no file to edit. Drive over the WS API:
- Read: `{"type":"lovelace/config"}` (no `url_path` = default `Overview`) → full config (`views[]`).
- Write: `{"type":"lovelace/config/save","config":<whole config>}` — **whole-config read-modify-write**, not per-view. Always back up the fetched config first; a bad save replaces every view.
- Views use `subview: true` for the per-device remotes (reached by nav, not the top tab bar). Card commands: copy a *proven* button from a working view rather than guessing service/command strings.
- No HACS, no custom themes (`frontend/get_themes` empty). Custom Lovelace cards: drop the JS in `/config/www/` (root-owned → `ssh -6 … sudo tee`), register via `{"type":"lovelace/resources/create","res_type":"module","url":"/local/<file>.js?v=N"}`. Served at `https://home.vino.network/local/<file>.js`. Browser caches resources — bump `?v=` and hard-refresh (mobile app: restart) to pick up changes.
TV = **Samsung Frame** (`media_player.the_frame_tv` power+vol+source `['TV','HDMI']`; `remote.the_frame_tv` needs Samsung `KEY_*` codes — see <great-room-remote-card>). WoL power-on MAC `C8:A6:EF:AE:E5:FA` via `script.turn_on_great_room_tv_2`.
**Matrix-source audio is the Denon AVR**, not the TV: zones `media_player.great_room` (+ `media_player.kitchen`), source `HDMI Matrix`; volume = `media_player.great_room`, and the TV's own speaker is set near-mute by the building block. TV-direct audio = the TV itself (the remote card's volume is context-aware — see <great-room-remote-card>).
-`movie` → Roku Ultra (alias `set-mode-great-room-roku-ultra`), `roku_3`, `fire_tv_stick`, `music`, `camera_scanner`.
- Each sets both matrix outputs then runs `script.building_block_set_great_room_to_hdmi_matrix` (TV→HDMI, AVR zones on, vol 0.55, ALL ZONE STEREO).
Source devices: Roku (`remote.roku_ultra`/`roku_3`, commands **lowercase**`home/back/up/down/left/right/select/info`); Fire TV (`remote.fire_tv_stick`, commands **UPPERCASE**`HOME/BACK/UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT/CENTER/INFO/MENU`). App shortcuts via `media_player.select_source` (Roku Plex source = `Plex - Free Movies & TV`).
No Hassle AV **NHAV-1632** 16×32 HDMI/HDBaseT matrix at `hdmi-matrix.vino.network` (172.24.15.50, IPv4-only); the `admin/admin` web login is cosmetic — no auth on any endpoint, the LAN is the boundary. Drives every house display (Living Room, Office, bedrooms, Terrace, Great Room, speakers) through 16 output pairs (HDBaseT run + mirrored local HDMI).
Integration `hdmi_matrix` (repo `dfritz/haas-hdmi-matrix-custom-component`, its own repo — gitignored from the config mirror) is built on the device's binary state protocol. One HA device keyed on the matrix MAC:
-`select.hdmi_matrix_vino_network_output_1..16` — source per output (**enabled**); friendly names track the device's live port names.
-`switch.…_output_N_stream` (blank one output's video) + `binary_sensor.…_input_N_signal` (live source detect) — **disabled by default**, enable as needed.
-`hdmi_matrix.send_command` service — raw `!`/`#` device command (wire numbering is 0-based).
Coordinator delta-polls every 2 s (idle poll ~32 B); front-panel/IR/web changes converge within a poll. Full protocol + a stdlib decoder (`tools/dump_state.py`) live in the repo's `docs/device-api.md` — not restated here.
**Deploy:** rsync `custom_components/hdmi_matrix/` → `/config/custom_components/hdmi_matrix/`, then a full `ha core restart` (a config-entry reload does NOT re-import changed Python; `ha` CLI needs the login shell for `SUPERVISOR_TOKEN`, sudo drops it). NEVER stage a backup dir inside `custom_components/` — HA scans every subdir, and a dotted name (`hdmi_matrix.bak`) plus its `manifest.json` shadows the `hdmi_matrix` domain and breaks import.
**Physical (rear panel):** a port LED lights only when its TX drives live video into an OPEN, unlinked port; a linked receiver or a no-signal input reads dark; blinking = link-training failure. The RemoteTV EDID slots are a last-seen sink cache, not live state — the matrix exposes NO live HDBaseT link status anywhere. Known-bad: matrix **port 1 (Output1, the Great Room TV feed) HDBaseT transmitter is suspect-dead** — its config is identical to working ports yet it stays dark through stream-toggle, source re-switch, standby cycle, and reboot; migrate that run to a spare output (12–16 are proven-good) if it stays dark.
-`great-room-tv-remote` — **the main one.** A bespoke custom card `custom:great-room-remote-card`: plus-shaped D-pad, context-aware volume, source pills (set_mode scripts), apps/playback, power toggle. Fits an iPhone with no scrolling; details in <great-room-remote-card>.
URL: `https://home.vino.network/lovelace/great-room-tv-remote`. Launcher: a "Great Room TV" navigate-button under the **Virtual Remotes** heading on the `kitchen_greatroom` view (subviews aren't in the tab bar, so they need a navigate-button entry point).
**Control target is explicit + visible** (a "Controlling: X" line + a `[Follow source] | [TV]` toggle):
- *Follow source* (default): D-pad/transport/apps drive the device the matrix is on (Roku `select`/lowercase, Fire TV `CENTER`/UPPERCASE). Falls back to TV when the matrix state isn't a known source (e.g. `Viewport16`).
- *TV*: forces `remote.the_frame_tv`. One-tap fallback if a source device (asleep Roku → "Error communicating with Roku API") doesn't respond. **Samsung `samsungtv` integration needs `KEY_*` codes** (`KEY_UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT/ENTER/RETURN/HOME/INFO`, `KEY_VOLUP/VOLDOWN`) — lowercase words return HTTP 200 but the TV silently ignores them (this is why the original lowercase remote never actually drove the TV).
- Tapping a source pill switches the matrix (`set_mode` script) and snaps target back to Follow source.
**Volume/mute are context-aware too** (per-profile `volume` entity): TV target → `media_player.the_frame_tv` (Samsung supports `volume_set`); source target → `media_player.great_room` (Denon AVR zone, the audio path for matrix sources). The slider uses a timestamp guard (not `activeElement`) so frequent `hass` updates don't snap the thumb back mid-drag on iOS. Frame TV can't launch apps via `select_source` (source_list only `['TV','HDMI']`), so apps only show for Roku/Fire. All entities/commands live in `DEFAULTS` (config-overridable).
