Control KODI - Superchango - 18.04.2017

Good afternoon,

Has anyone tried to control KODI through homelynk?
I would like to know if it is possible and how it can be done in such a case.

Thank you so much,

Hello, yes i use it but my code is very basic and needs some beautification Sad

the library

Code:
function kodiHandler(iServer,iPort,sendPort)

  -- first call

  if not ready then

    require('socket')

    lastdatareceived = nil

    ready = true

  end

  -- client connected

  if connected then

    while true do

      char, err = client:receive(1)

      -- error while receiving, closed socket

      if err == 'closed' then

          connected = false

        sleep(1)

        break

      end

      if char ~= nil then

        lastdatareceived = os.time()

        warningclosed = true

        warningfailed = true

        warningerrors = true

        warningtimeou = true

                table.insert(buffer, char)

        tmpbuf = table.concat(buffer)

        if ( json.pdecode(tmpbuf) ) then

          data = tmpbuf

          parse(data)

          buffer = {}

        end

      else

        now = os.time()

        deltatime = now - lastdatareceived

      end

      -- receive incoming send requests

          msg, ip, port = sendServer:receivefrom() 

            if msg then 

        -- send command

        --log("send: "..msg)

        client:send(msg)

            end

      --[[ clear not complete buffer

      if deltatime > 10 and #buffer > 0 then

        log( #buffer )

        buffer = {}

        lastdatareceived = os.time()

      end

      -]]

    end

    -- first call or previously disconnected

  else

    -- close previous connection when disconnected

    if client then

      client:close()

      client = nil

    end

    if sendServer then

      sendServer:close()

      sendServer = nil

    end

    -- create tcp client

    client = socket.tcp()

    client:settimeout(5)

    connected, err = client:connect(iServer, iPort)

    -- connect ok, reset buffer

    if connected then

      lastdatareceived = os.time()

      warningclosed = true

      warningfailed = true

      warningerrors = true

      warningtimeou = true

      --log('[KODI-client] connection ok: '..iServer)

      buffer = {}

      -- create udp server to receive incoming send requests

             if not sendServer then 

               sendServer = socket.udp() 

               sendServer:setsockname('*', sendPort) 

               sendServer:settimeout(0.1) 

             end

      sleep(5)

      -- send initial command

      --client:send( '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.PlayPause", "params": { "playerid": 0 }, "id": 1}' )

      -- error while connecting,

    else

            --log(err)

      if warningfailed then log('[KODI-client] connection failed (conn): '.. err) end

      warningfailed = false

      sleep(5)

    end

  end

  -- incoming command parser

  function parse(data)

    -- log other info, not mapped, if useful

    --log("data received: "..data)

    --log(json.pdecode(data))

  end

end

the resident script

Code:
require('user.nit_kodi')

require('json') 

kodiHandler("192.168.x.x","9090","18007")

-- callback from handler

-- tv recording play

function tvrecPlay()

  log("test1")

end

-- tv recording - pause or stop

function tvrecStop()

  log("test2")

end

in another script u can use for example:

Code:
udpsend( '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "Application.SetVolume", "params": { "volume": 50 } }', "18007" )

RE: Control KODI - Superchango - 19.04.2017

Thanks I will put with it to see if I am able to perform a control of my HTPC with KODI

RE: Control KODI - baggins - 19.04.2017

Hi,

My "solution" is even more basic.

I installed an USB IR Flirc receiver on my Kodi box and programmed it with a Samsung remote control. I then use a Global Caché IR transmitter that is controlled through simple TCP commands.

In my visualisation I have programmed a "universal" remote control with which I can control my cable decoder, AVR, Kodi and TV.

RE: Control KODI - leonidas - 19.04.2017

One more simple KODI control solution:

Code:
require('socket.http')

socket.http.TIMEOUT = 5

-- play ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

data1 = socket.http.request('http://192.168.1.79:8080/jsonrpc?request={ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Input.ExecuteAction", "params": { "action": "play" }, "id": 1 }')

-- pause --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

data1 = socket.http.request('http://192.168.1.79:8080/jsonrpc?request={ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Input.ExecuteAction", "params": { "action": "pause" }, "id": 1 }, "id": 1 }')

-- down ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

data1 = socket.http.request('http://192.168.1.79:8080/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Input.Down", "id": 1}')

-- up -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

data1 = socket.http.request('http://192.168.1.79:8080/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Input.Up", "id": 1}')

-- right --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

data1 = socket.http.request('http://192.168.1.79:8080/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Input.Right", "id": 1}')

-- left ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

data1 = socket.http.request('http://192.168.1.79:8080/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Input.Left", "id": 1}')

-- home ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

data1 = socket.http.request('http://192.168.1.79:8080/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Input.Home", "id": 1}')

-- select -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

data1 = socket.http.request('http://192.168.1.79:8080/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Input.Select", "id": 1}')

With this solution you have no incoming data, so you can't turn off your lights when a movie starts for example.

Yes, but it's better than using Global Cache.

Hi Baggins,

Since I see the "Telenet" symbol on your visualisation I assume we live in the same country.
To avoid re-inventing hot water, here Could you share some tcp commands you use to control your cable decoder + give some insight on how you built the visualisation shown in the screenshot of your post?

Hi,

As I've stated, I use a Global Caché (it actually is the Basalte version) transmitter attached to the Telenet Digicorder.
Here is the script I use to control the Digicorder:

Code:
--[[

    Command: Command for execution by controller of Global Cache. To transmit IR command Command=sendir. See full list in GLobal Cache manual.

    Modul: The module containing the appropriate IR port (e.g. for iTach=1

    NumDev: Number of port in the module starting with 1.

    Id: Id number of the command in range 0 – 65535

    Freq: IR channel frequency in Hz, from 20000 – 500000

    Repeat: on 0 – repeat the command up to 65535 times or while the command transmit is terminated

    Offset: Time period to repeat the telegram in the next transmissions (Repeat<>1), 1 – 255

    P0,…,Pn: String sequence defining impulse sequence in IR telegram

    ^: Symbol defining the end of command string, OD (Hex)

--]]

local socket = require("socket")

function send_Digicorder(command)

  log('send_Digicorder called; command ' .. command)

 tcp = assert(socket.tcp())

 tcp:settimeout(0.5)

  Device = '192.168.0.26'                                                       

  Header =  "sendir,1:2,1,38000,1,1,"
