Deprecation of HTTP support

Send "Pause/Play" via action File to Kodi

Sun, 28 Apr 2024 16:03:16 +0000

Hello,

I want to send Kodi via PSE action Module to Pause or Play the movie.

Her is my File but it doesn´t work. I think that file is wrong. Can anybody help me with the file?

Thanks in advance...

I write in my action file:

POST:http://192.168.xx.xx:8080/jsonrpc -u kodi:password -d {"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Player.PlayPause","params":{"playerid":0,"play":false},"id":1}

Hue integration - not quite working as expected

Sat, 11 Jan 2025 18:54:43 +0000

After setting up action files to control hue, the system works in that the correct scene is triggered but at the same time it decides to turn on ALL the other lights in the hue bridge.

one of my action files is this.

#http:///api//groups//action
#PUT:{"on":true,"scene":"","transitiontime":50}
http://192.168.50.84/api/LoWDA87uRChjxIaomijXXakCDg7JZxXSUirPD58/groups/Kodi/action
PUT:{"on":true,"scene":"3A0VwVI5aWe5AELi","transitiontime":50}

Definitely right and as I say triggers the scene off, but also whacks all lights with it.

is it something to do with APIV2?

Many thanks

Tuya Wifi Bulb control?

Tue, 01 Aug 2023 22:52:09 +0000

Does anyone have any experience or tips for controlling these types of bulbs? There is no bridge so the Hue system doesn't work with them. I have been searching high and low and can only find some IFTTT controls, but I'm not sure how to integrate IFTTT into this addon...
