I’m taking this one piece at a time…so trying to get just the REST part to work without error, no other info entered yet…this is what I have in my configuration.yaml:
I see the API calls working in the Tautulli API logs…but HA just can’t store anything due to the error of the json being undefined. I get the same error even with the template stuff entered. Not sure how to get it defined or why it isn’t.
Well, I now see why it wasn’t working. I am doing proxy redirects with URL Base/root reverse proxy info…it didn’t like being pointed to the local IP at all…as soon as I switched it to the external URL base/root name all started working…doh.
Tautulli Active Streams – Now Available for Home Assistant!
Real-time Plex Stream Monitoring in Home Assistant!
I’m excited to introduce Tautulli Active Streams, a Home Assistant integration that brings live Plex stream tracking from your Tautulli server into Home Assistant. View detailed session data in dashboards and custom cards, making it easy to track what’s currently playing!
Monitor Active Plex Streams – See who’s watching and what they’re watching. Custom Sensor Count – Choose how many active streams to display. Adjustable Scan Interval – Set how often HA updates stream data. Detailed Session Attributes – Each active stream sensor provides:
Media Title & Type (Movie, TV Show, etc.)
User (Who is watching)
IP Address & Device
Playback Progress & Quality
Installation
Install via HACS or manually from GitHub. Add the integration in Home Assistant → Settings → Devices & Services. Enter your Tautulli details (Host, Port, API Key). Display real-time stream data in Lovelace cards!
What’s a card that you recommend using in order to view the active streams? I’ve got the sensor set up now, just curious to know how to move forward…
Edit: Nvm. I can use the same setup I have as a card. This sensor eliminates the need for the coding in sensors.yaml and templates.yaml. Thank you for simplifying it!!!
There’s one issue I just found. When accessing things remotely, I get a blank screen for the poster. Reverting back to the way I posted above fixes it.
Yep I do. When I set up the sensor though, I used my local IP and port for Tautulli. I’m not sure what needs to be done in order to get things to work remotely without the need of reverse proxy, but it works with it. Currently those who aren’t using reverse proxy or possibly nabu casa to access via cloud, might have issues with the poster showing up when connecting remotely. I don’t use nabu casa cloud, so I couldn’t test to verify…
Is it possible to do an if/else type of setup? If local IP doesn’t work, then use ssl link? I like the idea of when I’m connected locally, it uses local IP, and then if I’m connected remotely, it uses the reverse proxy url?
