How do you use Actions

any help?

How are you launching your action file?  Do you have it in your settings or in a sequence?

I'm trying to get home assistant set up here so that I can help out.

i have it in a sequence
when trivia starts lights dim a bit
when trailers start they dim more
when feature starts they turn off  

well thats whats supposed to happen

Hey @SledgeSRV out of curiosity, if you change homeassistant.local:8123 to just the IP address of your homeassistant does it work? My immediate thought here is that the device you are trying to send the command from can not resolve homeassistant.local.  I have not actually tried to use an action file yet to trigger a scene but will give some further testing of this soon.  Can you also check the kodi log to see if is giving any response such as unable to resolve or connect?

Please install Kodi Logfile Uploader.  It's in the Programs section of the Kodi repository.   Close Kodi and restart it and then run your sequence and send me direct message through the site with a link to your log file.

Ich verwende es, um Philips Hue-Leuchten vor Kleinigkeiten zu dimmen, vor Trailern weiter zu dimmen, vor dem Hauptfeature auszuschalten und am Ende des Films wieder einzuschalten.

wie hast du das umgesetzt? Es interressiert mich tierisch.Hast du eine Anleitung?

Here's the Hue guide: 

 

Actions are a bit complicated to set up, and do take some time to get right.

Hello,

 

I have TP-Link smart dimmer switches (Model HS220) to control my lights.  I would love to implement Kodi to control them for movie viewing. Can someone help?

 

Thank you.

@Bertronics I'm not sure how to control your specific switches.  My recommendation would be to set them up on some sort of home automation system and then hopefully you can use one of the existing threads for help.  

I think home assistant can control them, and there are a couple threads about that.
