Our verdict
The HEOS speaker that works properly with Home Assistant: the heos integration is core, local push and rated Platinum, with grouping through media_player.join. It is the cheapest sensible way into a non-Sonos multiroom system. A newer 'NV' version sells at £179, so check the listing before you buy.
What can Home Assistant control on the Denon Home 150?
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Media player | Media player | One per HEOS device; playback, volume and source selection. |
| Grouping | Action | media_player.join / unjoin, plus group volume actions, between HEOS players. |
The core heos integration is local push. One integration entry adds every HEOS device; give it a wired, always-on device as the host and it fails over to others. Favourites and playlists need your HEOS account credentials in the integration options, otherwise source_list is empty. Text-to-speech is not supported and play_media URLs must be 255 characters or fewer.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the Denon Home 150 work with Home Assistant locally?
- Yes. The Denon Home 150 is controlled locally in Home Assistant through a built-in Home Assistant core integration (heos), so it keeps working if your internet connection or the Denon cloud goes down. Control and state updates stay on your own network.
- Which protocol does the Denon Home 150 use, and do I need a hub?
- The Denon Home 150 uses Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. To pair it with Home Assistant you need no hub — it joins your Wi-Fi network directly; or a Bluetooth adapter on your Home Assistant host or an ESPHome Bluetooth proxy. Denon's own hub is not required when you integrate through a built-in Home Assistant core integration (heos).
