Install:

To use the enigma custom component, place the file enigma directory from the root of the repositorie in to the folder ~/.homeassistant/custom_components/ where you have your home assistant installation

The custom components directory is inside your Home Assistant configuration directory.

This is how your custom_components directory should be:

custom_components
├── enigma
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── media_player.py
│   └── notify.py

Configuration Example:

By Default will load all channels from first bouquet

enigma: 
  devices:
    - host: 192.168.1.20
      port: 80
      name: Gigablue
      timeout: 20
      username: root
      password: your_password
      picon: picon

notify:
  - platform: enigma
    host: 192.168.1.20
    port: 80
    username: root
    password: your_password
    name: gigablue

Configuration Example 2 (using multiple devices and a pre-defined bouquet and icon from screenshot):

To get your bouquet references, open in your browser : http://box.ip/web/getservices

You can find your bouquet reference from as follows:

Example 1:7:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:FROM BOUQUET "userbouquet.favourites.tv" ORDER BY bouquet BOUQUET_NAME_HERE

In my case, if I want to load all channels from bouquet Sky Deutschland I have to look for: 1:7:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:FROM BOUQUET "userbouquet.dbe1e.tv" ORDER BY bouquet Sky Deutschland

Then copy the entire string, removing the bouquet name from the end

Example, where I want to load all bouques from the Sky Deutschalnd bouquet:

enigma: 
  devices:
    - host: 192.168.1.20
      port: 80
      name: Gigablue
      timeout: 20
      username: root
      password: your_password
      picon: picon
    - host: 192.168.1.21
      port: 80
      name: Dreambox 
      username: root
      password: your_password
      timeout: 20
      bouquet: '1:7:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:FROM BOUQUET "userbouquet.dbe1e.tv" ORDER BY bouquet' 
      picon: screenshot
