Webhooks and Homekit/Homebridge/Smart Lighting

General Discussions

Forgive me if this has been asked before, I can’t seem to find a specific answer.

I’ve recently revamped my home with a few more smart light bulbs, and want to incorporate Plex into the fold. I’ve got an OSX server running Homebridge, and would ideally like to be able to use a Plex web hook to turn the bulbs down whilst something is playing on the main TV, and then brighten when it finishes.

I’m using Milight/LimitlessLED bulbs, and these all appear as HomeKit devices thanks to Homebridge. There’s something up on GitHub already, but it’s not finished by any stretch, and hasn’t been updated in months. GitHub - lzilioli/plex-bridge-homebridge-http-webhooks: Nodejs bridge for Plex webhooks into homebridge.

If anyone has any knowledge on getting these things up and running, let me know! I appreciate it’s a very, VERY niche request, but I thought I’d ask :slight_smile:

Have you made it to step 3?

  1. You will see the event logged to the console when the webhook is hit. Copy the uuid for the player

I had this running through Zappier which is a paid for service but they do have a 30 day demo which helps break down the webhooks setup pretty nicely so you can better understand how it all ties in together and eventually run it locally.
