Hi,
Any ideas how i can intergrate my WD TV Live Hub to dim my lights when i press play and raise them when i pause / stop.
I have the Vera2 GW.
Thanks
Man, if you mean press the play button on the WDTV remote, I cannot imagine a way to intercept the action (since WDTV has nothing like generate an IP event, or so).
But an external application can do this. Using SQRemote on iOS, for instance, you can create a play button assigned to a macro where the IRCommand is sent to WDTV (using any IR blaster overthere) AND can turn light off, down the curtains, turn receiver and TV on.
I’m sure that others app can do this as well. BTW macros INSIDE MCV is a missing feature, as far as I know.
What do you mean by “macro?” A scene is essentially a macro. At t=0, do something, at t=1, do something else, etc.
Just last week I was describing a scene to my boss, and he goes “oh, so it’s a macro?”
What you describe would be a “Play scene” that maybe closes the curtains & turns off the lights at t=0, and at t=5, sends “play” to the device.
I hope be forgiven by the “…as far as I know”.
I just was unable to do as scene the “macro” “Movies On” where most of lights are off, some are 25%, Receiver On, Media Player On, Zone=1, Volume=-50dB, input=MediaPlayer (the last are Infrared commands).
What if you used some sort of IR receiver, then using your WDTV remote normally, when you hit PLAY, the wdtv picks up the signal, and also this IR receiver picks up the signal. Then some craft code that says on this IR signal, dim lights, close curtains, etc…
