Kodi Remote

[tom_l]

You should be able to use the Kodi Call Method service to call any of the Kodi API commands.

Getting the format right can be tricky and I’m certainly no expert.

Search this topic for some examples. e.g. Billy’s post just a few above uses this:

  - type: button
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: kodi.call_method
      service_data:
        entity_id: media_player.libreelec
        method: Player.SetSpeed
        playerid: 1
        speed: increment
      target: {}
    hold_action:
      action: call-service
      service: kodi.call_method
      service_data:
        entity_id: media_player.libreelec
        method: Player.SetSpeed
        playerid: 1
        speed: decrement
      target: {}

Thought I might share my own take on this

• The layout/icons closely resemble the native iOS / Chorus designs for consistency
• I’m using Mini Media Player for the “Now playing” area
• Just as @tom_l mentions- using the kodi.call_method service call, there’s no need for scripts to execute Kodi commands
• Only two script are required, for the “Turn on/off” buttons
• This setup requires one input_boolean.kodi_tv_state and two template sensors
• To minimise Kodi API service calls, I’m using native media_player calls where possible

I’ve done a little script to send keyboard input from HA to Kodi just like Kore Remote.

For anyone interested all you need is a input_text helper, use any card you like to edit it (I use custom:text-input-row), and launch this script with a button:

alias: KR_SEND_TEXT
sequence:
  - service: kodi.call_method
    data:
      method: Input.SendText
      text: |
        {{ states('input_text.kodi_buffer') }}    //The helper you choose
      done: true    //If true kodi will hit select after text input, otherwise it will just show the text on the 
                        keyboard
      entity_id: media_player.kodi   //Your kodi device
  - wait_template: ''
    timeout: '0:00:02'
    continue_on_timeout: true
  - service: input_text.set_value
    data:
      value: ''
    target:
      entity_id: input_text.kodi_buffer    //The helper you choose
mode: single

Awesome! Do you perhaps know what call method to use calling numeric digits… For changing channels? I have simple PVR Client and I can set everything up except the numeric numbers…

[Lordgurt]

Hi guys,

My remote is working just fine, but I would really like to change my channels on a PVR addon…

So i.o.w if I press the channel numbers on my remote (physical mini keypad) for example 102 it works perfect… How can I simulate this via home assistant? Numbers 0-9… I 'think" it should be relatively simple…

Thanks guys

[tom_l]

I think it would be a script like this (untested):

kodi_0:
  sequence:
  - service: kodi.call_method
    data:
      method: Input.Action
      action: "number0"

Likewise for:

"number1"
"number2"
"number3"
"number4"
"number5"
"number6"
"number7"
"number8"
"number9"

[Lordgurt]

@tom_l

kodi_0:
  sequence:
  - service: kodi.call_method
    data:
      method: Input.Action
      action: "number0"

Hi Tom, thanks, yup tried exactly that… It says trigged if fired but not showing the digit been pressed as per mini keyboard… So not responsive as thought… It’s almost as if it’s only listening to “specific” methods" but it doesn’t make sense… scratching my head again because that seemed totally plausible…

[tom_l]

What about this?

kodi_0:
  sequence:
  - service: kodi.call_method
    data:
      method: Input.ExecuteAction
      action: "number0"

[Lordgurt]

It works Tom! Thanks buddy!

[Lordgurt]

Hey, Tom thanks for this! Again it works!! The other thing I’m trying to do is creating an actual keyboard template with alphanumeric keys a-z… Do you perhaps know the method for calling this?

[tom_l]

You’ll probably have to use Input.SendText as shown above, Kodi Remote - #85 by MaestroMetty

[tom_l]

I have updated how my subtitle method works. From this:

lounge_kodi_input_next_subtitle:
  sequence:
    service: kodi.call_method
    data:
      entity_id: media_player.lounge_osmc_kodi
      method: Player.SetSubtitle
      playerid: 1
      subtitle: "next"
      enable: true

To this:

lounge_kodi_input_next_subtitle:
  sequence:
    service: kodi.call_method
    data:
      entity_id: media_player.lounge_osmc_kodi
      method: Input.ExecuteAction
      action: "nextsubtitle"

I opened the raw editor and pasted @tom_l’s button templates above

Hi, I’m sorry to bring this back after so long time. You did a got job summarizing previous comments in this thread. But I’d need further explanation on the “templating” part.
I created a file templates.yaml with @tom_I’s code, and added to the configuration.yaml with “template: !include templates.yaml” but it is not working. Can you explain a little bit more how you did it?
Thanks in advance.

[tanderson1992]

Holy Necro, Batman! I have a hard time remembering what I did yesterday, let alone a year ago. Reading my post that you quoted, I went to my media dashboard in Lovelace (I’m assuming I created a new dashboard that was initially blank.) Then I clicked the 3 dot menu, edit dashboard, then clicked the 3 dot menu again, raw configuration editor, then I pasted in the button templates from @tom_l. For convenience, here’s that section from my raw Lovelace configuration:

I did not create a templates.yaml, so I can’t help you there. I pasted my config directly into the raw editor of the Media dashboard. Hope this helps!

thanks for your quick answer, I’ll give it a try.

off-topic:
checking your name I assume you were born 92. Thats why you probably don’t know Japanese superRobot “Mazinger Z”. Give it try!

lounge_kodi_player_skip_fwd_10:
  sequence:
    - service: media_player.kodi_call_method
      data:
        entity_id: media_player.lounge_osmc_kodi
        method: Player.Seek
        playerid: 1
        value: "smallforward" # "smallbackward" for the other way

I’m having difficulty trying to get this to work in node red sending it to Home Assistant. For instance, this works:

{
  "action": "pageup",
  "entity_id": "media_player.kodi_de1dd1bc895a38c",
  "method": "Input.ExecuteAction"
}

and it’s even simpler for just pressing the key up:

{"method":"Input.Up"}

EDIT: got smallforward working with:

{
    "playerid": 1,
    "value": {
        "step": "smallforward"
    },
    "method": "Player.Seek"
}

and including the entity_id doesn’t help either. https://kodi.wiki/view/JSON-RPC_API/v12#Player.Seek mentions a step parameter…

I’m doing this in node red so that based on the source input on my receiver, I can control Kodi, or Netflix et cetera with the same virtual remote.

I just use a helper/Boolean input and check what it is set to and route it to the correct remote, in this example: Kodi. Here’s the code:
