# PlexMeetsHomeAssistant
|
|
|
|
Custom integration which integrates plex into Home Assistant and makes it possible to launch movies or tv shows on TV with a simple click
|
|
|
|
**This is an extremely early version of integration / card aimed mostly for experienced users and/or developers.**
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
- Add [custom repository](https://hacs.xyz/docs/faq/custom_repositories/) to HACS, url: `https://github.com/JurajNyiri/PlexMeetsHomeAssistant`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Reload browser, clear cache as usual
|
|
- Create a new Home Assistant tab, turn on panel mode
|
|
- Add a new card, see configuration below.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
**type**: 'custom:plex-meets-homeassistant'
|
|
|
|
**token**: Enter your [Plex Token](https://support.plex.tv/articles/204059436-finding-an-authentication-token-x-plex-token/)
|
|
|
|
**ip**: Enter ip address of plex server. You can also enter hostname without protocol or port.
|
|
|
|
**port**: Enter port of your plex sever.
|
|
|
|
**protocol**: _Optional_ Protocol to use for Plex. Defaults to "http".
|
|
|
|
**maxCount**: _Optional_ Maximum number of items to display in card.
|
|
|
|
**entity**: You need to configure at least one supported media_player entity.
|
|
|
|
- **androidtv**: Entity id of your media_player configured via [Android TV](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/androidtv/)
|
|
- **kodi**: Entity id of your media_player configured via [Kodi](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/kodi/).
|
|
|
|
You also need to install and configure integration [Kodi Recently Added Media](https://github.com/jtbgroup/kodi-media-sensors) and its sensor **kodi_media_sensor_search**.
|
|
|
|
It is strongly recommended to use [PlexKodiConnect](https://github.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect) for this setup, otherwise if the file name is different in kodi playback **will** fail.
|
|
|
|
_You can combine multiple supported entities_, in that case, entity for supported content will be chosen in order how you entered them.
|
|
|
|
As an example, if content can be played / shown both by kodi and androidtv, and you entered kodi first, it will be shown by kodi. If it cannot be played by kodi but can be played by androidtv, androidtv will be used.
|
|
|
|
This will also work with play button being shown, it will only show when you can actually play content on your device.
|
|
|
|
Example of card configuration:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
type: 'custom:plex-meets-homeassistant'
|
|
token: QWdsqEXAMPLETOKENqwerty
|
|
ip: 192.168.13.37
|
|
port: 32400
|
|
libraryName: Movies
|
|
protocol: http
|
|
maxCount: 10
|
|
entity:
|
|
kodi: media_player.kodi_123456qwe789rty
|
|
androidtv: media_player.living_room_nvidia_shield
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are using Home Assistant via HTTPS, you need to specify port `https` for Plex and have Plex available on https connection.
