Hi,
Hoping someone can assist me with this
What I want to do is after my morning alarm is dismissed, Tasker sends a random YouTube video ID to an automation which then calls a script to play the video on my TV via Kodi.
Thanks to this thread and @Tinkerer, I have a webhook setup for Tasker, and I have a script which plays the YT video. What I am missing, and can’t get to work is the variable for the video ID coming from Tasker and passing that into the script. Here is my code for each component:
scripts.yaml
# Play Workout Video
kodi_start_workout:
alias: Kodi Start Workout
sequence:
- service: shell_command.tv_on
- service: kodi.call_method
data:
entity_id: media_player.kodi
method: Player.Open
data_template: >
item:
file: "plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?action=play_video&videoid={{videoid}}"
automations.yaml
- initial_state: 'on'
alias: Initialize Tasker webhook
trigger:
- platform: webhook
webhook_id: thisisatest
action:
- event: tasker_webhook
event_data_template:
who: "{{ trigger.json.who }}"
what: "{{ trigger.json.what }}"
- initial_state: 'on'
alias: Send random YouTube video id to Home Assistant from Tasker when alarm dismissed
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: tasker_webhook
event_data:
who: harpdogg
what: video_id
action:
- service: script.kodi_start_workout
data_template:
videoid: "{{ trigger.json.what }}"
Thanks for any suggestions.
