The Xbox {% term integration %} allows you to connect Home Assistant to the Xbox Network.

About Xbox Network

Xbox Network is Microsoft’s online gaming and entertainment service for Xbox consoles and Windows PCs. You can use Xbox Network for multiplayer gaming. It offers social features like friends and parties, cloud saves, and digital game purchases. Xbox Network also provides access to apps and online services. The platform connects players, manages profiles, and powers online functionality across the Xbox ecosystem.

How you can use this integration

The Home Assistant Xbox {% term integration %} lets you monitor and control Xbox One (and newer) consoles and also keep track of your favorite friends on Xbox Network. It exposes your console’s status and activity, and provides friend-related presence and activity information you can use in dashboards and automations.

Prerequisites

  • You must sign in with a non-child Xbox account (age 18+).
  • To enable the media player and remote entities, make sure remote features are turned on in Settings > Devices & connections > Remote features on your Xbox.
  • Home Assistant connects to Xbox Network via OAuth2 using Home Assistant Cloud’s account-linking service. To use this, your {% term "configuration.yaml" %} must include either cloud: or default_config:.

{% include integrations/config_flow.md %}

Supported devices

  • Xbox One (S/X)
  • Xbox Series S/X

Media player

The Xbox media player platform will create media player entities for each console linked to your Microsoft account. These entities will display the active app and playback controls as well as a media browser implementation, allowing you to launch any installed application.

Action play_media

Launches an application on the Xbox console using the application's product ID. Also supports "Home" to navigate to the dashboard.

You can find Product IDs using the {% my developer_events title="Developer Tools > Events" %} tab and listening to the call_service event. In a new browser tab, navigate to the media browser for your console and click on an App/Game to see the product ID in the event.

Data attribute Description
entity_id entity_id of the Xbox media player
media_content_id "Home"/{product_id}
media_content_type Any Value

Examples

entity_id: media_player.xboxone
media_content_type: ""
media_content_id: "Home"

entity_id: media_player.xboxone
media_content_type: ""
media_content_id: "9WZDNCRFJ3TJ" # Netflix

Remote

The Xbox remote platform will create Remote entities for each console linked to your Microsoft Account. These entities will allow you to turn on/off and send controller or text input to your console.

Action send_command

Data attribute Optional Description
entity_id no entity_id of the Xbox remote.
command no List of the controller commands or text input to be sent.
num_repeats yes Number of times to repeat the commands.

In game Shows if your friend is currently playing a game.
Subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Indicates whether the friend is currently subscribed to Xbox Game Pass.

Sensor

Just like the binary sensors, the Xbox sensor platform automatically keeps track of your "Favorite friends".

Entity Name Description
Status Shows the text status of your friend as it appears in your friends list.
Gamerscore Friend's Gamerscore.
Friends Displays the number of mutual friend relationships of the account.
Follower Displays the number of people following the account.
Following Displays the number of people the account is following.

Total space: {name} Reports the total storage capacity of the device. A separate sensor is created for each Xbox console and connected internal and external storage device.
Free space: {name} Reports the available (unused) storage space on the device. A separate sensor is created for each Xbox console and connected internal and external storage device.

Image

For your account and each of your favorite friends, several image entities are available:

Entity Name Description
Avatar Shows the classic Xbox avatar for you or your friend, if available. You can create or customize your own avatar using the Xbox Original Avatars app.
Gamerpic Shows the current Gamerpic that represents you or your friend across the Xbox Network.
Now playing Displays the cover art of the game you or your friends are currently playing.

Media source

The Xbox media source platform lets your browse your own and community gameclips or screenshots, as well as promotional images for games you've played, through the Media Browser panel. As with any other media source {% term integration %}, you can also send these clips to supported media players like Chromecast.

Manual OAuth2 configuration

{% warning %} These steps are not required, nor will they be supported if issues are encountered. {% endwarning %}

If you prefer not to use the Home Assistant account linking service, you may manually configure a local implementation if your instance is exposed externally over HTTPS using the following steps:

  • Register a new application in Azure AD
    • Name your app
    • Select "Personal Microsoft accounts only" under supported account types
    • For Redirect URI, add: https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/oauth
  • Copy your Application (client) ID for later use
  • On the App Page, navigate to "Certificates & secrets"
    • Generate a new client secret and save for later use

You may then add the credentials to Application Credentials and then setup the {% term integration %}.

{% details "I have manually disabled My Home Assistant" %}

If you don't have My Home Assistant on your installation, you can use <HOME_ASSISTANT_URL>/auth/external/callback as the redirect URI instead.

The <HOME_ASSISTANT_URL> must be the same as used during the configuration/ authentication process.

Internal examples: http://192.168.0.2:8123/auth/external/callback, http://homeassistant.local:8123/auth/external/callback.
