If you have a Christmas show and you would like to be able to manage it from Home Assistant, then I have two integrations for you that allow you to do this without much difficulty.
Would there be any way to add the currently playing file? I’d like to trigger automations based on where I’m at within a playlist, so giving HA access to which file is playing would be great!
This integration already allows you to get information about the file being played, its total length and the current playback position, all this data is in the player’s atrebuts, you can view them through the developer panel
Has anyone tried this lately? I checked and the requirements issue seems fixed, and the fpp/falcon_pi_player domain issue seems fixed, but for whatever reason I can’t get anything to load after adding the lines to my yaml. I don’t even get an error, HA just ignores it.
Yes, I’ve installed this today and it only works if I control the media player with services calls. I don’t see the Media Player if I add a Media Player Card for example.
So, new(er) to Home Assistant. Love that this has an integration for FPP for us light show nerds. What I’m needing though, is to be able to use my Player FPP as a condition for some automations. Example condition is “IF FPP is stopped” to allow an automation to run. I have an automation that if the front door opens at night, the entry way light turns on. I’m looking to have it monitor for FPP to not be playing to execute this automation. Basically, if my show is playing, keep the lights off. Any ideas?
