Make MC compatible with Home Assistant

<< < (3/6) > >>

mattkhan:
Not yet, will start a thread when there is something functional to share

hoyt:
I agree with this. Having a "proper" integration with Home Assistant would be wonderful. In case someone reads this and thinks that HA is a flash in the pan, so why would MC invest time in another project: https://github.blog/2023-11-08-the-state-of-open-source-and-ai/#the-state-of-open-source

It is listed here as the second highest number of contributors for an active open source project, behind MS's VSCode, and it's been around 10 years. That's not shabby.

mattkhan:
an example of the functionality that could be implemented *if* MC broadcast certain events (e.g. via a websocket)

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/kodi/#keypress-events

some things can be clumsily simulated by polling (e.g. changes to playing now) but others (like the above) are either impractical or not possible

I've been harping on this topic for ages. The polling thing is inefficient at best and almost entirely rules out certain things.

+1 for HA integration, LOVE both home assistant and mc :)
