Kodi and MiLight integration

Description

This is a simple integration to show NodeRed controlling MiLight based lights (e.g. LimitLess Led) based on Kodi Websocket announcements.

More work is required to prevent race conditions and add fading etc.

Actions

  • Lights turn on when the screensaver is deactivated or a video is paused/stopped.
  • Lights turn off when a video starts playing or the screensaver activates.

Setup

  • Install https://github.com/Daniel-t/node-red-contrib-milight
  • Update the 'Kodi' Websocket node to point at your Kodi (XBMC) computer. ** Note: you need to enable WebSockets in Kodi by enabling both TCP control and control from other computers
  • Update the 'MiLight White' and 'MiLight Power' nodes with your zone number and optionally the IP address of your MiLight bridge.
