I would like to notify Home Assistant based when the screensaver is activated and deactived.
So first I would like to write an addon that just log when the service addon notice that this has happend.

After looking at:
https://kodi.wiki/view/Service_add-ons
https://alwinesch.github.io/group__pytho...bd7e0ec797

I thought this would work, but only the service log is shown in the log. What am I missing?

python:


import time

import xbmc



if __name__ == '__main__':

monitor = xbmc.Monitor()

xbmc.log("screenserver service", level=xbmc.LOGNOTICE)



while not monitor.abortRequested():

    if monitor.onScreensaverActivated():

        xbmc.log("onScreensaverActivated", level=xbmc.LOGNOTICE)

    if monitor.onScreensaverDeactivated():

        xbmc.log("onScreensaverDeactivated", level=xbmc.LOGNOTICE)

You can't call onScreensaverActivated() to check screensaver state, it's a callback.
You need to create your own class derived from monitor and declare callbacks there.
