Automatically dim you Philips Hue lights when your Plex media player starts playing

dim-my-lights-for-plex's Issues

Possible to include sensors to be disabled during playback

Would like to be able to have not only the lights to go on/off, but for sensors to be disabled/enabled when starting/stopping playback.

Currently doing this via Tautulli and a script that is doing a POST to the hub... but would like to migrate purely to webhooks to control sensors and lights in one hit (at the moment using HelloHue plugin, but this will go when Plex removes the ability to use Plugins in the future).

Make the lights go back to their original scene when pausing movie

At the moment you can select a scene to which the lights go back when you pause the movie.
However, I would prefer to have it go back to how the lights were before I started the movie.

Install instructions are outdated.

For the next variables use https://account.meethue.com/bridge to get the internal IP of the bridge, or go to https://discovery.meethue.com/ or find the internal IP of the bridge from your router. From a computer on the same network as your bridge go to: https://<bridge.ip.address>/debug/clip.html
We will use the API Debugger to get the variables.

HUE_TOKEN:

    URL: /api 
    Body: {"devicetype":"dim_my_lights#plex"}
    POST

The response description will say "Link button not pressed". Press the button on your bridge, 
and click the POST button again. The new response will say username: <token>. This is the 
value you want to use as the HUE_TOKEN. We will also use this value to get the next few 
variables.

HUE_SCENE_THEATER:

    URL: /api/<token>/scenes
    BODY: 
    GET

In the list find the name of the scene you want to use when plex is playing, right above that is 
an the ID of the scene.
Scene ID---> "XTbiuYcEva3weNT": {
	           "name": "Savanna sunset",  <--- Scene Name
	           "type": "GroupScene",
	           "group": "1",
	           "lights": [
		              "1"
	           ],

HUE_SCENE_DIMMED:
Same thing as above, in the list of scenes find the name of the scene you want when plex is
paused/stopped.

HUE_GROUP_ID:

    URL: /api/<token>/groups
    BODY: 
    GET

In the list of groups, find the name of the group you want to use, right above that is the 
group ID.
Group ID ----> "1": {
	              "name": "Theater", <-----Group Name
	              "lights": [
		                 "1"
	              ],

Also, you are able to hit the API of the hue bridge directly by going to
https://bridge.ip/api//
There are a lot of things to do in there. I'm not a node expert, but I might try to see what I could do.
