[REL] PlexWink Channel

$
0
0

A channel to allow Plex to control your Wink lights!

Grab the latest 2.X.X release here: https://github.com/vanstinator/PlexWink.bundle/releases

Currently awaiting entry into the UAS so a manual install is all that is currently supported

Known Issues
* after disabling and trying to enable again you'll need to pause and then play your media to get it to listen
* wink group_id fields are grabbed from the service at launch, so if you update your light groups you'll need to restart Plex for it to take effect

Behavior
The channel binds to the Plex notification websocket and upon receiving a playing notification will poll the status API and run it through the rules engine. If the criteria match your settings it will do one of the following:

  • Playing - Dim the lights, and then shut them off
  • Paused - Dim the lights
  • Stopped - turn the lights on at full brightness
  • Nothing detected - turn the lights on at full brightness

Requirements
* An up-to-date version of PMS. I don't know how far back this plugin will work, but I do not intend to support anything more than the current public stable version of the server.
* Code - https://github.com/vanstinator/PlexWink/releases

The config file is pretty simple. Fill out the basic deatils and your wink API credentials. You can get a set of API keys by emailing support@winkapp.com.

Roadmap
* fix bugs
* multiple rooms
* user defined lighting actions for play, pause, stop
* user requested features
