Creating a sensor that opens YouTube in the browser
How I automated Hyperion using IO Link
I will share an option on how to create a sensor of what we are watching on a YouTube computer. Why is this necessary? There is such an integration, called Hyperion, it allows you to capture an image and transfer colors to address LEDs. I have made Hyperion automatically turn on/off when launching games or when enabling fullscreen mode in the browser. But there is one thing, but if I turn on fullscreen mode in the browser, then Hyperion will turn on, and I don’t need it, since I need it to turn on if I watch YouTube in fullscreen mode. So, by creating such a sensor, we exclude Hyperion auto-switching when enabling fullscreen mode in another contribution, only when watching YouTube
If you look at json in qt, we see the following and we are interested in the string “MainWindowTitle”, which we will use in the sensor. The line “MainWindowTitle” displays information about which page we have opened in the browser and can pull out keywords, in our case it is YouTube

Создаем сенсор, что в браузере открыт YouTube
Как я автоматизировал Hyperion с помощью IOT Link
Поделюсь вариантом как можно создать сенсор того, что мы смотрим на компьютере YouTube. Зачем это нужно? Есть такая интеграция, называется Hyperion, она позволяет захватывать изображение и передавать цвета на адресные светодиоды. Я сделал автоматическое включение\выключение Hyperion при запуске игр или при включении полноэкранного режима в браузере. Но есть одно но, если я включаю в браузере полноэкранные режим, то Hyperion включится, а мне это не нужно, так как мне нужно, чтобы он включался, если я смотрю YouTube в полноэкранном режиме. Так вот, создав такой сенсор, мы исключаем авто включение Hyperion при включении полноэкранного режима в другой вкладе, только при просмотре YouTube
Если посмотреть json в mqtt, то мы видим следующее и нас интересует строка “MainWindowTitle”, которую будем использовать в сенсоре. Строка “MainWindowTitle” выводит информацию, какую страницу мы открыли в браузере и можем выдергивать ключевые слова, в нашем случае это YouTube
