OpenELEC (RPi) Addon to control Hyperion with jsonrpc commands over network - AEtHeLsYn/hyperion GitHub Wiki

GitHub Resource

This addon is made to control the hyperion ambilight over Network (JSON-RPC) with Browser or Apps

Installation:

  • copy the folder "script.hyperioncontrol" to "/storage/.kodi/addons/" on Raspberry Pi or create a zip file and install Addon from zip file

  • copy the folder "scripts" to "userdata/hyperion/scripts/" folder it contains scripts for hyperion

  • activate the json server in Hyperion by uncommenting or adding this lines: "jsonServer" : { "port" : 19444 },

Usage:

call command with JSON-RPC {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"Addons.ExecuteAddon" ,"params":{"addonid":"script.hyperioncontrol","params":{"cmd":"power_toggle"}}}

for example: power_toggle calls the script power_toggle.sh effect_knight_rider calls effect_knight_rider.sh and so on

there is only one exception, if you call color_FF0000 it will light up the red LEDs so you can choose all available colors

effect_off turns all effects off ;-)

if you want to use a relay to switch the ambilight power supply please ad this lines to autostart.sh: echo "X" > /sys/class/gpio/export

echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/gpioX/direction

echo "1" > /sys/class/gpio/gpioX/value

X is the Number of the GPIO Port used to control the Relay and should be replaced! in th files power_toggle.sh and power_off.sh the number must be changed too!
