Automate HA based on tabs open in your browser!

Want to turn on Hyperion when you open Netflix on your browser? Sure thing. Check out my browser extension (works with Firefox and Chrome).

I don’t own a “Smart TV”, and I don’t want to set up Kodi ot whatever. I watch movies on my Windows computer connected to a TV. So I was looking for a way to fire up Hyperion when I go to Netflix and turn it off when I’m done watching. I wrote a simple web browser extension that will turn on an input_boolean when the current active tab is in a list of whitelisted sites.

From this input, I then fire up automations.

All info is in the Github repo (the extension is easy to install on Chrome, and it’s pending approval for Firefox).
