External integration - Frontier Silicon internet radios (Roberts, Hama, Medion, Revo…)

Development
1

Hi everyone!

Many internet and DAB+ radios (Roberts, Hama, Medion, Revo, Lenco, Auna…) hide the same module: Frontier Silicon, the one controlled by the UNDOK app. Here they are in Gladys, locally, without an account or cloud.

What it does

  • Automatic discovery of radios in your network. You can also enter their address.
  • One device per radio:
    • power, volume, mute;
    • source: DAB, FM, internet radio, Spotify, Bluetooth, AUX, as the radio lists them;
    • play, pause, next, previous;
    • current playback.
  • A scene trigger « Playback has changed »: the radio started playing, changed station or source, or the title changed.
  • Three scene actions:
    • Play a preset, by number or name (« France Inter »). The radio is turned on if needed.
    • Change source.
    • Current playback: station, title, artist, volume…
  • A widget « Internet Radio »: current playback, volume, power, and your presets as buttons.

The cool thing

  • The alarm: at 7 a.m., the kitchen radio turns on to your favorite station.
  • When leaving the house, a scene turns off all the radios.
  • The UNDOK app continues to work alongside: the integration does not open any session, which would log it out.

Installation

Gladys 5.1 minimum. It will arrive in the store at the next indexer update. In a hurry? Integrations → Install from GitHub, with the address GitHub - LM1LC3N7/gladys-frontier-silicon: Gladys Assistant external integration for Frontier Silicon internet radios (Roberts, Hama, Medion, Revo, Lenco…): power, volume, source, presets and now playing, on the local network.

  1. Install the integration and open Discovery: your radios appear. Otherwise, enter their IP address in the configuration.
  2. If you have changed the radio’s PIN code (1234 by default), enter it.
  3. Place the Internet Radio widget on a dashboard.

Honest small reservations

  • Testers wanted! I don’t have a Frontier Silicon radio. The test responses are from a real radio, taken from recordings in the library used by Home Assistant. But each model has its quirks: tell me what works on yours.
  • Radios are read every 30 seconds, due to lack of instant notification without a session. A change made on the radio therefore takes up to 30 seconds to appear.
  • Reading presets puts the radio in « navigation » mode, as UNDOK does. They are therefore only read on demand.
  • Some models leave the network in standby: they appear offline, without error.

Like the previous ones, developed with Claude Code. Independent project, not affiliated with Frontier Smart Technologies or the radio brands.
