Sony Projector not integrating

The problem

I recently installed a Sony VPL-XW5000ES-W and added it to my network. I’d like to integrate it with HA.

I found the Sony Projector integration and tried to configure, but got this message:

I see that it’s not set up for UI configuration, so I added the manual configuration as documented here and restarted HA. I do not see a Sony Projector integration, or a device or entity named Projector.

# Sony Projector
switch:
  - platform: sony_projector
    host: "192.168.0.230"
    name: "Projector"

Example YAML snippet

    name: "Projector"

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

Error occurred loading configuration flow for integration sony_projector: No module named 'homeassistant.components.sony_projector.config_flow'
10:30:14 AM – (ERROR) config_entries.py - message first occurred at 8:22:00 AM and shows up 3 times

Failed to connect to projector '192.168.0.230'

Additional information

I am able to login to the projector at 192.168.0.230. That requires a username and password. It is curious that the integration does not require that as well.

@bleugray I didn’t really do anything special, I just added it to the automations/scripts via the UI. Make sure you are adding it as entity, not as device.

This entity (‘switch.sony_vpl_xw5000’) does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI

You could try adding unique_id: namehere to your config block. Didn’t have time to try it yet but I think it should work.

I found it finally in HA once you shared where to look. (switch:entity) - now to get it to turn off and on based on the status of the nvidia shield

switch:

• platform: sony_projector

  host: “x.x.x.x”

  name: “projector”

i get an error if i add

unique_id: projector

That should be easy enough with an automation. So, you’re good to go? I don’t know what you’re getting at with the unique_id. You should be able to set the name via the name key.
