Home Assistant 0.115.0 - Kodi Integration

[lollo78]

Hi, I just deleted the kodi references inside media_player.yaml to use the new Kodi integration, but now… how can I configure it to perform a System.Sutdown when I press the power button inside the Card?

Before the integration I used this piece of code:

    turn_off_action:
      service: kodi.call_method
      data:
        entity_id: media_player.kodi
        method: System.Shutdown

But now?

Thx a lot

same situation for me. Any news?

You either have to use a script:

Kodi on/off actions in 0.115

this works for me: kodi_shutdown: alias: kodi shutdown sequence: - service: kodi.call_method data: entity_id: media_player.kodi_livingroom method: System.Shutdown entity_id: media_player.kodi_livingroom mode: single

Or a (shudder) device automation.

Kodi on/off actions in 0.115

You’ll have to set them up in Automations in the UI now. Separate turn on and off automations are required, the following is for the turn on automation. Create new automation, press “skip” button in bottom left. Name your automation (“turn on kodi” or whatever you’d like), it should be single mode. Create a trigger— Type: Device Device: [your kodi name] Trigger: "[your kodi name] was requested to turn on" Then set up your actions are required. In my case, I had two actions. A script trigge…

thank you. I don’t understand why there is no power button in the media player card. for me it was very comfortable

[tom_l]

There’s already a PR merged to fix that. Will probably be in the next dot release. (It was a mistake).

Super clear, thank you again

Actually I must have misread something somewhere (or misremembered). There is an issue open but it has not been fixed yet:

Power off button missing in media player card

missing power button kind of needing it

The power button is available on the custom mini-media player.

never been able to get custom cards to work on my system
just want the power button back on the media player card

[tom_l]

Then all you can do is wait patiently for it to be fixed.

If you want to open another topic about this I’m sure someone could help:

3 new problems with Kodi integration (HA 115.6):

1. the device does not turn on with the command from the card: in the integration from .yaml I had WOL, how can you fix it?
2. when HA restarts, if the kodi device is turned off, the entity is “unavailable”
3. if the device is on but inactive after a few minutes the status changes to off but the device has only remained inactive.
