Using Kodi as Home Automation Controller(API commands in submenu) - ravi_09x - 2017-01-13
hi people,
I have a wifi light that can be turned on and off by API commands.
Since my kodi is in the same network i wanted to make a submenu item that can give those API commands so that the Kodi works as Home Automation controller as well.
The following is the API command i give in the broswer that turns my light on:
http://192.168.1.106/orrin?saya=load+_11DSA0000
Now when i give this exact command in the 'custom item' in submenu action, it does not work.
Is there something else has to be done here
PS: I don't have much command on networking.
Please help!

Kodi doesn't know how to handle the url. What you can do is find out how to send the url over command line, put that in a script and use System.Exec(script.sh/cmd) in the custom shortcut action.
