Using Plex to control Node-red and the rest of your smarthome

[baldfox]

Hi guys. I just thought I’d share a link to a tutorial for utilising the webhook functions in plex. I can control pretty much anything in the house via Node-red and with plex webhooks, i can control most of it everytime I press play/resume or pause/stop.

If anyone’s interested to learn more feel free to reach out.

If you’ve never used node-red before, check out the rest of the blog with various primers and tutorials.

Since I wrote that post, i’ve since found an easier way to use plex to control the home. This second way still involves node-red, but you don’t need to be using webhooks.
