Hi guys,

I’ve seen a few posts for this, but just wondering whats the most common way, people are controlling there lights though Plex?

Im using RM Tasker and HA-Bridge, so something that plays nice would be good?

Thanks

Yup, HelloHue on my Plex server to dim my Hue lights. Works like a charm.

I have a combination of LIFX and IR/ RF lights controlled by a broadlink RM Pro and RM tasker on an old Nexus 7 2013
