Multiple sensors for pause/resume and play/stop events

[ianiv]

I made a sensor that triggers when media starts playing. And it works fine, but the sensor never resets so if I stop playback and start again my automation does not re-run.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it would be useful if the sensors reset after a configurable amount of time, or to have a filter set that turns off a sensor.

Thanks!

The sensor should be inactivated by stopping the media. If it's not happening somehow, you should open a bug ticket and give some details about your config.

I'm trying to accomplish the same - maybe we just need some more documentation or examples of useful sensors?

Here's me trying to just monitor for when a device is playing/paused/etc:

Obviously I'm not checking on player.uuid (or any other player characterstics), but to start I wanted it simple:

[12/04/2021, 15:38:04] [Plex Webhooks Platform] Checking filter rulesets of [Plex Streaming - Theater] sensor:
[12/04/2021, 15:38:04] [Plex Webhooks Platform]  > filter group #1
[12/04/2021, 15:38:04] [Plex Webhooks Platform]  + looking for "media.play" at "event", found "media.play"
[12/04/2021, 15:38:04] [Plex Webhooks Platform] [Plex Streaming - Theater] is active

pausing:

[12/04/2021, 15:38:26] [Plex Webhooks Platform] Checking filter rulesets of [Plex Streaming - Theater] sensor:
[12/04/2021, 15:38:26] [Plex Webhooks Platform]  > filter group #1
[12/04/2021, 15:38:26] [Plex Webhooks Platform]  - looking for "media.play" at "event", found "media.pause"

^^is there any way to turn the sensor off when a particular criteria is met? e.g. 'event=media.pause'

Ultimately, the problem becomes the sensor never disengages - here it is 10min after i've paused:

What other sensors do you use? not sure how to make the most of this integration yet! :)

Could you please copy-paste the homebridge-plex-webhooks part from the json config from homebridge UI instead of sharing the screenshot?

[steveredden]

sure thing!

Ah okay I can see the problem. So, the plugin is taking care of the media.play / media.resume and media.stop / media.pause events so, you should not add these to the filters. You should add for example:

"filters": [
        [
          {
            "path": "Account.title",
            "value": "YourPlexUsername"
          }
        ],
]

You can find more examples in the README.

[steveredden]

Gotcha - so the entire plugin resolves around lib\constants.js and the values of:

const PLAY_EVENTS = [
  'media.play',
  'media.resume'
];
const PAUSE_EVENTS = [
  'media.pause',
  'media.stop'
];

https://github.com/iharosi/homebridge-plex-webhooks/blob/master/lib/constants.js#L8

as the initial triggers? and just gets filtered based on the supplied filters?

[iharosi]

That's correct!

[steveredden]

it would be nice to have a stateful switch for 'paused' (event = media.paused):

I'm envisioning if event=media.paused i'll set my lights to 50% brightness, if event=media.stopped i'll set them to 100%, and resume/start = off.

the current binary (encapsulating 2 states each) is not flexible to handle something like this - if I pause I don't want 100% lights...

maybe a config option for whether or not to treat pause and resume as start and stop events??? (remove them from the CONSTS if so)

Is that feasible in current state at all? or am i just trying to over-automate things 😅

[ianiv]

I was also filtering on the media.play event so the above explains why it wasn't working as expected.

[iharosi]

Yes that would be a nice thing to have, however sensors in the Home app can be triggered or inactive. Because of this the implementation of the behavior what you've described can be problematic.

[iharosi]

Yes, that's right.

[steveredden]

could we have a per-sensor boolean for 'treat pause and resume as stop and start events'?

[iharosi]

Yes that would be a nice thing to have, however sensors in the Home app can be triggered or inactive. Because of this the implementation of the behavior what you've described can be problematic.

I can imagine to have multiple sensors for pause/resume and play/stop events maybe.

[iharosi]

could we have a per-sensor boolean for 'treat pause and resume as stop and start events'?

Thinking of the same. I'll add this as a feature request.

[steveredden]

I would also suggest adding to the README.md the importance of the four event=media.____ -> sounds like us requestors both needed that crucial information 😄

Yes agree! 😃 Thanks for pointing this out. ☺️

digging out this, I also ran into trouble because I assumed I would need to configure event.play as filter criteria myself. I think homebridge switches can be on or off or stateless. So maybe it would be an option to have a webhook implemented as a switch instead of a sensor. That would indeed enable such behaviour where the user configuration takes care of the event.play and event.pause logic. I would also love to have something else done in case of pausing a movie than when I stop a movie. It would give a lot more flexibility.

[RaunoT]

Also stumbled on this while looking for ways to add seperate stop and pause configs, hope it will be implemented some time soon! Thanks for all the hard work.

Hi All,

TL:DR: I'm here to give this topic my upvote!

A little Background:

Non-tech stuff

I just renovated an entire room to becoma a cinema, including the following features:

• Philips 3D TV with Ambilight
• Philips Hue synchronized lighting
• Really good 5.1 Sound
• Climate control including humidity
• HomePod Mini music pause when film starts
• Old 'Regal cinemas' pre-roll roller-coaster video
• Mini-fridge
• Coffee machine
• Popcorn machine 😃
• Voice commands

(There is also a separate TV in the kitchen, FYI)

I setup Homebridge just to make this whole thing as automated as possible. I'm barely a noob in coding, but got this far:

Tech stuff

In Homekit (with Homebridge) I'm using dummy switches and logic to create a pseudo-program that automatically adjusts many scenes based on a variety of inputs.

For the ideal lighting automation, the inclusion of separate 'resume', 'pause', 'stop' from this plug-in would be great! That way every change, from opening Plex to finishing a movie, would have an accompanying light state. These are meant to be different for Movies or TV.

I spent a bunch of time creating these settings, only to find out that the 'pause' and 'stop' sensors didn't react. See attached.

As a further question, I'd like to ask if anyone knows if the "event": "device.new" flag is actually sent by the webhook? And should it trigger a sensor with known devices or does it only apply to devices connecting for the first time?

@iharosi Thanks for the great plug-in! Here's the code I'd really want to work. And a sample of the return I get at the moment:

Cheers!

To echo much of what has been posted here already, I appreciate the simplicity of the existing implementation, but would love an 'advanced' mode that exposed 4 sensors: play, pause, stop, and resume. This would allow for much richer customization.

[JoelGit]

After realizing that all I really wanted was to identify play/pause/resume versus stop events, I simply modified the constants file to include pause with the play events, leaving the PAUSE constant just using the stop event. This is all I really need. I hope the dev will consider enhancing their amazing plug in.

[zackotronic]

Is there any update to this or work around?

I ended up doing this as well, but I also moved the resume to the pause events. When I moved just the media.pause event. My pause sensor was not de-triggering.

Guys! Unfortunately I don't have too much time to improve this plugin, but please feel free to contribute!

[zackotronic]

The Plugin was working fine until the recent update.

I had 2 triggers in Home, Play/Stop and Pause/Resume.

I had to so when played a movie it triggered the Play/Stop sensor and my lights would turn off. If I paused the movie, the Pause/Resume trigger with activate (and play/stop trigger would stay activated), and certain lights would turn on to like 20%. If I resumed my movie, the Pause/Resume trigger would deactivate (while the play/stop trigger would stay active) and the lights that were triggered would turn off. Then if stopped the movie, both trigger's would be unactive and the lights would return to 100%.

This all stopped working with the movie recent update.

Does anyone have a good figuration in homebridge to accomplish this with the new update (even if means I have to edit the constants.js file)??

I installed the previous version and it works again.

I edited my constants.js file to read this

const PLAY_EVENTS = [
  'media.play',
  'media.pause'
];
const PAUSE_EVENTS = [
  'media.resume',
  'media.stop'
];

[zackotronic]

the only work around i found is using 2 different plugins.

I updated back to the new update. I got my pause settings work with the new update.

but i am using https://github.com/alexjsp/homebridge-plex-sensors for play function. that plugin has an option to ignore pause resume functions for certain sensors.

I wonder if that would be possible.
