RX-A870 presets

[duusiek]

Hi All,
I used since long time integration MusicCast which worked quite well. Since some HAOS update it significantly slowwed down. When I turned ON hardware woked up but for reaction in HA I have to wait some seconds. Rather 20 seconds than 2. Then I can select some source or do anything. Normally I can select NET Radio and explore "library" to choose favorite station.

I try to configure averything again. I found also to integrate my RX-A870 as Yamaha (YNCA). All works much faster - I see HA reaction in a while when I pres anything. Unfortunatelly when I try to explore Favorities like beffore button "explore media" goes to Presets.

My questions (1&2 or 1or2):

1. How to configure presets to assign my favorities radio station to each presets? (Yamaha (YNCA) integration)
2. How to improove responsiveness of MusicCast integration?

I have not found a way yet to have a real mediabrowser like in your screenshot in a reliable/stable way. There is an open issue for that (#213 ), but unlikely to get implemented soon, so until that time you will have to use the presets.

Presets can be stored by using the store_preset service that this integration offers. It stores the current playing "thing" under the preset with the number provided. So you start netradio on the station you like and then call store_preset with the preset number you want to store it under. You will have to remember which preset contains which station. I can not get that information from the receiver.
It is explained in a bit more detail in the Presets section of the Readme

I can't help with your MusicCast question as my receiver does not support it and I know nothing about it. You should probably submit an issue with Home Assistant about the slow response in the MusicCast integration.
