Configuration in the UI

In the HA UI go to "Configuration" -> "Integrations" click "+" and search for "Port.hu TV".

You need to add the channel ID of the TV channel. You can check the channel ID in the channel_mapping.json file.

You can repeat this method to add multiple channels.

One possible way to show the schedules on the UI is using List Card. See examples below.

Notes

• Some channels provide schedules for only daytime. For example, tvchannel-2 schedule ends at 19:50, and there is a corresponding evening channel tvchannel-361 starts after 19:50.
• You may want to exclude the sensor from recorder, because Home Assistant will store the states in the database.

Example list-card configuration
