You need to have the integration
Installation - Hass Agent Documentation
Access your homeassistant from any windows machine - send notifications, collect data and automate repetitive tasks
Hass.Agent on homeassistant has 1 device listed and nothing if I open that, I already followed the directions that I found when I searched here, to stop the hass.agent, remove entries from home assistant, delete what is in mqtt, then restart home assistant and hass.agent. But nothing changes. I don't want to send audio to my pc, I just want to know if it is playing a video so I can set a light scene and stop another automation.
I want access to these in home assistant
"duration": 0,
"currentposition": 0,
"state": "Off",
"volume": 0,
"muted": false
So when you click on the device it shows nothing?
Or unavailable?
It says this device has no entries
Hmm, I would recommend reinstalling the integration
I've done that several times already
I really just rather have it show up in mqtt where home assistant can get to it.
It doesn't quite work like that, we would have to rewrite half the code for the media player
Could you try updating to the betas of both integration and client
@Amadeo , this seems really weird. Multiple reinstalled and it still fails to discover?
@timlitw⚡🚗 is there anything in the home assistant logs?
I just need to be able to share the media_player as a sensor - but ok I accept that.
Beta? I am running 2.0.1 of the hass.agent and I don't see a version on the integration

The link I posted above will detail info on getting the beta integration
As for the client you can find betas on the github releases page
thanks I will check
This is the newest beta for client: https://github.com/hass-agent/HASS.Agent/releases/tag/2.1.0-beta1

Why would the device be empty? 🤔 It's broadcasting media player data, meaning it's enabled in the app
The integration is neede for media player and notifications (how HA handles stuff)
Oh where do I begin :F
@timlitw⚡🚗 could you please show us the screenshot of mqtt topics related to the hass.agent?
The important thing to note again os that the original integration in HACS will not work - HA did some changes recently and you need the fixed/forked version of integration
Because I don't think you've mentioned installing it
downloading new integration now
here are the 2 different places I see infor in mqttexplorer
the mqtt shows the audio info in home assistant
but the hass.agent info doesn't get to home assistant. that was why I also tried to add HASS.Agent intgration,
restarting ha to finish the install...
