I am brand new to Home assistant and i am trying to see if this will work. I am trying to create a trigger so when my Nvidia shield pauses a movie or show the lights turn on. And when i play a movie the lights turn off. I am running Home assistant on unraid 0.116.4 . i was able to create a trigger when i activate an activity (Movie) and then that will trigger the switch. But i would really prefer the lights go on and off while pushing play and pause
. Any help would be appreciated
Set up one automation that triggers when you switch to play.
Another automation that triggers on pause or stop or idle.
That’s what I tried to do in the picture above but it’s not triggering It. Looks like in harmony config file it shows play pause commands under the device shield. But I don’t know if I setting the trigger up the right way.
Do you have a media_player entity for the nvidia shield?
By the way the entity_id you show cannot exist. All entity_ids are lower case.
Again I am very new to this and I apologise. I tried Googling it but nothing with the new version of software with gui. I look in my config I don’t see media player all i see is. Activities and then list my activitys. Under that it list my devices and then the commands for each device. I can take a screenshot when I get home. Again sorry if these are dumb questions. I appreciate any response.
I have found this video good, although have no idea if it is up to date.
