Ambivision Pro in Home Assistant

Configuration
1

Hello all,

I bought a connected LED strip for my TV (Ambivision Pro - https://ambivision.tv/shop/) and I would like to be able to add it to Home Assistant.

Do you think this is possible?

I would like to have it recognized as a connected lamp so that I can then turn it on and control the color with Google Assistant.

I found this but it doesn’t really help me and I’m not sure I understand how it works.
GitHub - eliotstocker/SmartThings-Ambivision-Pro: Smartthings Control for Ambivision Pro (Via NodeJS service) (gateway.web.tr)

Thank you very much

Hi.

I have the ambivision pro and I’m currently controlling it with the local API they provide in their website.

I’m currently working in making the integration more beautiful, I guess in the coming two weeks I’ll have something to share. I don’t have the skills to make a full custom component, but I’ll share some code you can copy and paste in your yaml files so you get a pretty decent “integration”.

If you can’t wait, as I said, you can make your own using the official API and through HTTP requests.

For those who want to build it themselves.

All you need is this in your config yaml:

rest_command:
  ambivision_request:
    url: http://LOCAL_IP_AMBIVISION_CAMERA:45457
    method: POST
    payload: "{{payload}}"

Then, for example, to set User mode whithin Capture mode

      - service: rest_command.ambivision_request
        data:
          payload: AmbiVision21
      - delay:
          seconds: 0.5
      - service: rest_command.ambivision_request
        data:
          payload: AmbiVision35

You can find all the codes in the documentation.

I finally put everythig together. You can find a decent way to integrate your Ambivision PRO in the link below.

If you don’t want to meddle with all that stuff, keep in mind ambivision supports IR learning, so with a broadlink you could do something.
