I am trying to make my lights in my room go brighter when the video/film is paused on my TV. When I create a new action a can set it to trigge rwhn tv is paused but it doesn’t work. It works if I set it to when the TV turns on or of. Is there a way I can make it detect if the TV is paused. I am sorry if this is already discussed.
Only if your tv reports this information to HA. If it does not, then there’s nothing you can do. To verify this, just play something on your TV. If the state is still on, then the tv does not report a status for itself, it only reports when it’s on or off.
It does sadly only report on or of.
Sorry to hear that. I suggest getting a roku or something similiar and interface that with home assistant. It has the ability to detect media type.
