Plex and home automation

Hi,

 

I have LED lights in my living room and I would like to dim these lights whenever I play a video via the Plex Media Server. I checked the Plex Framework API but that does not seem to cover my use case. Any ideas on how to do this? I would need some hooks that get invoked for play/pause/stop.

 

TIA,

Arno

 

I think the simplest hook to use is working with Plex Watch notifications, you can then tie those into IFTTT etc.

It's a tad convoluted but someone has made a workflow here.  The far easier option is to just work it into your activities in your Harmony remote (if you have one).  There is also a solution for RasPlex... if you search the forums for 'hue' you'll see it.

I do it with PlexWatch and a external script :)
