YouTube Video Details for Home Assistant

Installation

This provides a sensor that shows details of a YouTube Video by Title. This can be used to show details for a currently playing YouTube Video on a media player where you only have the Title available (such as AppleTV).

2. Go to integrations in HACS
3. Click the 3 dots in the top right corner and choose Custom repositories

5. Click add and restart HA to let the integration load
6. Go to settings and choose Devices & Services

Usage

Use an automation that is triggered by a Title change on YouTube Media, call the service youtube_search.search_video and fill in the mandatory field video_title. The service will update sensor.youtube_search with the video ID in the state field and all of the video attributes as attributes.
