hass-smartvideohub

Home Assistant integration for the Blackmagic Smart Videohub

Blackmagic provide an API to allow control of their video switches over TCP. This asynchronous interface will update Home Assistant if any changes are made on the device directly or elsewhere.

It works well with the Universal Media Player as you could power TVs/projectors on or off then point the source and source select options at the outputs created by this platform to be able to select the source.
