Astrion Remote Software v1.0.33

Release Type: Feature Update & Compatibility Improvement
Target Device: Astrion Remote HA100
Platform: Home Assistant
Status: Released

---

Climate (Temperature Control) Improvements

• Climate entities are now fully supported without restrictive conditions

• Fan speed (wind speed) adjustment is now available where supported by the device

• When a climate device does not support fan speed, the wind speed button will be automatically disabled (grayed out) to reflect actual device capabilities

This ensures a clearer and more accurate control experience across different climate device types.

---

Media Device Enhancements

Dynamic Control Button Display

• Media control buttons are now dynamically generated on the device details page

• Buttons that are not supported by the current media entity will appear grayed out

• This behavior is determined directly from Home Assistant’s reported capabilities

Smart Media Type Detection

• The system automatically detects whether the current playback is:

  • Music, or

  • Other media types (TV, video, streaming sources)

Cover Image Interaction:

• When playing music → tapping the cover image opens the music list

• When playing non-music media → tapping the cover image opens the playback source list

---

Media Volume Control (Important Notes)

Media device volume now supports two independent control methods:

1. Sliding adjustment

   • Mapped to the touchscreen

2. Click adjustment

   • Mapped to physical buttons

Troubleshooting Note:
If one volume control method works but the other does not, in approximately 90% of cases, this is caused by Home Assistant entity configuration or integration limitations, rather than an Astrion Remote software issue.

• Different HA media integrations expose volume services differently

• Some integrations may not support incremental or absolute volume control simultaneously

If you encounter such issues, please report them in Technical Support with:

• Media device model

• Integration type

• Home Assistant version

• Which volume method works / does not work

Our development team will analyze each case individually.

---

General Notes

• This update improves compatibility accuracy rather than forcing unsupported controls

• UI feedback (enabled / disabled buttons) now better reflects real device capabilities

• No changes to existing user configurations are required

---

Feedback & Issue Reporting

If you experience unexpected behavior after updating:

• Please post in Technical Support

• Use the Bug Report Template

• Include logs and screenshots when possible

Thank you for helping us improve Astrion Remote.

Fixed in Astrion Remote v1.0.38

Recommendation:
Please update to v1.0.38 for a more stable experience.

---

Issue 3: After updating to v1.0.38, physical buttons show

“No matching device found” or “Room does not exist”

Important:
Your data is not lost.

Cause:
A change in how bindings are read after the update.

Solution (either method works):

• Long-press the affected physical button and rebind it
• OR go to Settings → Button Binding and manually select the device again

Once rebound, the button will function normally.

---

[Rapine_Carnage]

Can you show photos or video of 1. and 2.?
very interested to see example of custom background photos?
interested in seeing direction function control too please

[Charles]

Hi Rapine_Carnage
Welcome to the Astrion community — great to have you here!

Thanks for the question — happy to clarify

Custom Background Photos

At the moment, custom background images are supported on Scene Cards.

This allows you to personalize scenes such as:

• Living Room

• Cinema Mode

• Night Scene

• Smart Home shortcuts

Support for custom backgrounds on additional card types is already planned and will be introduced progressively as the card system evolves.

We’ll soon post new photos and demo videos showing real examples of customized setups across:

• the forum

• our YouTube channel

• the Facebook community

So you’ll be able to see practical configurations and design ideas from both the team and users.

Direction / Navigation Control

Directional navigation is part of ongoing development.
We are working toward more consistent control behavior across Media, TV, and future card types to make navigation faster and more intuitive for remote-first interaction.

Astrion Remote Control Software Update Notes

I. Astrion Remote Control Firmware Update

• Software Version: v1.1.5

• Release Date: May 23, 2026

• Upgrade Method: Online OTA Upgrade

Important:
To use the new features properly, please also update the Roscard cards to v1.1.3.

---

II. Roscard Card Update

• Version: v1.1.3

• Release Date: May 23, 2026

• Upgrade Method: Update directly through the HACS Store

  

---

III. Update Details

1. Media Player Power Control via Remote Entity

Media player cards can now bind the power on/off function to a separate remote control entity.

Example:

Some media player entities do not provide native power control through their own API. However, power commands may still be available through the corresponding remote entity.

Since Roscard normally uses the media player’s own entity commands by default, users can now manually bind:

• Power ON

• Power OFF

to the appropriate remote control entity for proper operation.

---

2. Flexible Volume Control Binding

Media card volume control can now:

• bind to another media player entity

• or execute custom scripts

This allows volume adjustment for external audio devices such as AV receivers or amplifiers.

Example:

A media player may output audio through an external amplifier. In this situation, users usually want the Astrion volume buttons to control the amplifier volume rather than the player itself.

You can now:

• bind the volume control directly to the amplifier entity

• or use custom scripts for advanced control logic

  

---

3. Added Sound Mode Selection Support

The remote control UI now supports switching media player sound modes.

If the device associated with the media card supports sound mode switching, users can directly control:

• Movie Mode

• Music Mode

• Surround Modes

• or other supported sound profiles

through the Astrion interface.

---

IV. Astrion Firmware Upgrade Instructions

To update the Astrion remote control firmware:

1. Pull down the top menu on the Astrion main interface

   

2. Open Settings

   

3. Enter About This Device

   

4. Tap Software Version

   

5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the upgrade

---

Thank you again to all users who continue providing valuable feedback and testing support.

Your suggestions directly help improve Astrion and shape the future development roadmap

[Chykan_Hunter]

@Charles

Media Cards can now be configured with:
• physical entities
• or scripts
for independent/custom volume control behavior

Does this mean button.* entities are now supported?

[Robert_P]

@Chykan_Hunter

Does this mean button.* entities are now supported?

Unfortunately, probably not. The volume still only works within the media card itself. The volume definition doesn’t carry over to global button behavior, which is a real shame.

[Charles]

@Chykan_Hunter @Robert_P
At the moment, the new volume binding functionality is primarily implemented inside the Media Card layer itself, so Robert is correct that it does not yet fully extend to global button behavior across the entire remote system.

However, the purpose of this update was to introduce the underlying abstraction layer first:

• binding volume to different entities,

• binding to scripts,

• and separating media transport logic from audio-device logic.

This is actually an important foundation step toward broader customization support later.

Regarding button.* entities specifically:
currently they are not officially supported as direct global volume targets in all scenarios yet, because Home Assistant button entities behave differently from media_player or remote entities (stateless trigger behavior vs stateful entities).

That said, using scripts as an intermediary is now possible, which already enables many advanced workflows indirectly.

For example:

• volume buttons → trigger HA script

• script → call button.press

• or script → execute multiple synchronized actions

The implementation of direct button.* entity support is already included in our future development plans as part of the broader customization roadmap we previously published.

We are also internally discussing:

• global button mapping layers,

• context-aware button behavior,

• short/long press actions,

• and more flexible entity abstraction.

The current update is essentially the first infrastructure step toward those larger goals

Astrion Smart Remote Firmware V1.2.0 Release Notes

Firmware Version: V1.2.0
Release Date: June 6, 2026
Update Method: OTA (Over-the-Air)

Note: New features require updating the Roscard card to V1.2.0 to function properly.

Important Before Updating

To use the new features introduced in Firmware V1.2.0, please make sure you have updated the following components:

Roscard Card

Version: V1.2.0
Update Method: Update via HACS

Astrion Home Integration

The Astrion Home Integration is currently not listed in the default HACS repository search.

Like the ROS Card, it must first be added as a custom repository before installation.

GitHub Repository:

https://github.com/yyqclhy/Astrion-integration

Add Custom Repository

1. Open HACS

2. Click the three-dot menu (⋮)

3. Select Custom Repositories

4. Paste the repository URL above

5. Select Integration as the repository type

6. Click Add

7. Search for Astrion Home Integration

8. Install and restart Home Assistant

Note: If you cannot find Astrion Home in HACS search results, it usually means the custom repository has not yet been added.

What’s New in Version 1.2.0

New Features

Local IR (Infrared) Control

Added support for local infrared control directly through the Astrion Smart Remote.

TV Card Support for Astrion IR

TV Cards can now directly control Astrion IR entities.

TV Card Support for Harmony HUB

Added support for binding Harmony HUB entities to TV Cards.

Page 2 – Media Playback

Includes:

• Play / Pause

• Previous Track

• Next Track

• Media Controls

Example: Apple TV

You can bind:

• Apple TV device entity

• Apple TV media player entity

to the same TV Card.

Simply swipe between pages to switch from navigation controls to media playback controls without leaving the card.

This provides a smoother and more efficient user experience.

4. Expanded Button Mapping

TV Cards now support button mapping for:

• Astrion IR

• Harmony HUB

Astrion IR Button Mapping

1. Open TV Card Settings

2. Navigate to Button Configuration

3. Search for your Astrion IR entity

4. Assign commands to the desired buttons
