Dear all,
I Try to start and stop an addon of kodi but did not really understand how to od that.#The first question would be:
How to find out the id of the addon
How to "translate this command into hass command?
{
"description": "Enables/Disables a specific addon",
"permission": "ManageAddon",
"type": "method",
"params": [
{
"type": "string",
"name": "addonid",
"required": true
},
{
"$ref": "Global.Toggle",
"name": "enabled",
"required": true
}
],
"returns": {
"type": "string"
}
}
Thanks for your help
this is my config:
transmission_stop:
alias: Stop Transmission
sequence:
- service: kodi.call_method
data:
entity_id: media_player.kodi
method: Addons.SetAddonEnabled
addonid: service.transmission
params:
addonid: service.transmission
enabled: false
and this is my error
2020-03-01 15:10:30 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.kodi.media_player] Run API method media_player.kodi.Addons.SetAddonEnabled({'addonid': 'service.transmission', 'params': OrderedDict([('addonid', 'service.transmission'), ('enabled', False)])}) error: {'code': -32602, 'data': {'method': 'Addons.SetAddonEnabled', 'stack': {'message': 'Missing parameter', 'name': 'enabled', 'type': ['string', 'boolean']}}, 'message': 'Invalid params.'}

Look at the URL in a web browser when you are viewing the Supervisor / Kodi addon page. The random alphanumeric part is the ID.
E.g. in this case: https://my_domain.duckdns.org/hassio/addon/15ef4d2f_esphome
15ef4d2f_esphome is the ID.
Thanks for the hint but I cannot watch service addons in the browser. You mean well the webinterface right? like IP:8080 ?
We completley misunderstand each other. I don’t have kodi addon for hassio but mean the transmission addon for kodi

Oh a Kodi addon. No a home assistant addon. Got it. No idea sorry.

No idea about the ID but there’s some info in this thread about converting the Kodi API services to HA services for remote control that may help:
I give up. This curl command used to work:
'curl -u "kodi:mypwd" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data "{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"id\":1,\"method\":\"Player.SetSpeed\",\"params\":{\"playerid\":1,\"speed\":\"increment\"}}" "http://10.1.1.14:8080/jsonrpc"'
So I tried:
lounge_kodi_player_fast_fwd:
sequence:
- service: media_player.kodi_call_method
data:
entity_id: media_player.lounge_osmc_kodi
method: Player.SetSpeed
playerid: 1
speed: Incremen…
Actually go to the thread and read the replies.

I’m using a mini media player to control my Kodi installation. I can start a Kodi addon. Stopping is more complex. You can switch to the menu or another addon but have to stop any mediaplayer that is started by the addon separately.
The four buttons on the right start Kodi addons. The only problem I have now is that the i-radio addon will not start. it generates an invalid params error. When I launch Chrome, I still have to switch to my KDE app to control it as Chrome runs outside of Kodi. I’m still looking for a way to control Chrome on the media player (an Ubuntu box) from HA. Below is the Yaml for the remote. The volume is controlled by an ampifier which, being twenty years old, can only be controlled by IR signals.

Forgot to mention that you can find the Kodi addonid in the .kodi/addon/addonname /addon.xml file in the home folder of the user that started Kodi. That is for Ubuntu. Don’t know where that file is on other platforms.
Thanks I created she’ll command switches now . I’ll post it later
my setup is KODI with a screen saver running with my pictures of the family, now I have surveillance cameras these I have integrated via script in Kodi which displays a small picture of the camera for 30 seconds, so far so good. but the script does not turn off the screen saver and thus I see
service: kodi.call_method
target:
entity_id: media_player.kodi_b
data:
method: Input.mousemove
but unfortunately it does not work has one an idea would be great!
IF someone has the same problem, it works with the command
service: kodi.call_method
target:
entity_id: media_player.kodi_b
data:
method: Input.ExecuteAction
action: mousemove
wanna control this addon via kodi platfomr and call_method
