So ive found that the following at least gives me a status of the skybox although not ‘perfect’
Sensor:
- platform: rest
resource: http://192.168.0.3:9006/as/system/information
name: SkyQ Living Room Power Status
device_class: power
value_template: ‘{% if (value_json.activeStandby == False) %}on{% else %}off{% endif %}’
I have a Harmony Hub and use this to control the skyQ box via the IR interface, with the rest interface this provides just enough functionality to do what I require. AFAIK the media player component for the skyQ box has been abandoned?
Yep! I just spotted that they’ve changed the SKYQ Port to match the SKY+HD one on the nodered pallete.
This is awesome! Thanks a lot!
Edit: @cameron sorry, how would I make a button or similar in the front end (lovelace) to start the inject (or whatever is required) in NodeRed?
I’m still a newbie with nodered, and the only automations I’ve made so far dont require interactions (light brightness changes etc).
Feel free to PM if you dont want to go off topic.
Has anyone created a custom media player or similar that has the SkyQ controls such as the navigation pad on it ?
up, down, left righ, enter as buttons ?
Hi did you ever make a Netflix button, I’m trying to work out how to get Netflix, Disney and Amazon apps on sky q to load from a 4 bank switch instead of the long winded remote way
Hello,
I had for long time my Home Assistant without updating. Now that I found my time I put everything up do date again.
So that, I notice that now SkyQ is available in the official integration, but I still have it as custom component with yaml config going.
I try to add the integration and I saw that I had 2 mediaplayer entities for Sky Q, the custom components with all the channel listed in my yaml config and the one coming from the Integration but with no channels
How should I manage to have one settled SkyQ going?
What do you suggest?
