The projector simply cannot tell the difference (I hear some high end equipment do image analysis to determine hsbs or hou but they are rare and very expensive) the only way xbmc can tell if it's 3d is either by filename or certain tags. The projector does not get any of those, it just gets a 1080p video signal. You have to manually turn 3d on and select sbs or ou.(2014-12-17, 17:45)hoobie7 Wrote: @Batiatus
After a quick Google search it looks like the Vera's take commands via HTTP. LINK.
This is what I use with my InControl Z-Wave setup and it's actually not too difficult.
Look here for Gifties intro to the home automation process.
Find your home_automation.py file.
It should be located here: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\script.cinema.experience\ha_scripts
Then just find the trigger in the script that you want to dim the lights at, I use "Movie Trailer".
Here's my code:
Code:# Trailer
elif trigger == "Movie Trailer" and ha_settings[ "ha_trailer_start" ]:
# place code below this line
urllib2.urlopen('http://192.168.0.100:1178/zwave/activateSceneGet?sceneName=Movie%20Start')
pass
Yours will probably look something like this.
Just change the IP address and port to your Vera, and figure out you scene number.
Code:# Trailer
elif trigger == "Movie Trailer" and ha_settings[ "ha_trailer_start" ]:
# place code below this line
urllib2.urlopen('http://192.168.1.100:3480/data_request?id=lu_action&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1&action=RunScene&SceneNum=1')
pass
Give it a try.
Lemme know how it goes.
Thanks for this info. I may be able to try this tonight or on the weekend. The biggest issue I've had trying to integrate the Vera has been a lot of old information that doesn't seem relevant. I've asked a number of times publicly and through PM of people who've posted about setting their own systems up. However to this point I've not had any luck getting a response.
My next big challenge is to figure out why the projector won't auto-switch to 3D HSBS and to get Stereoscopic player working with full frame packed 3D support (not CE issues but part of the overall experience).
Frame packed 3d is different in terms of resolution. The vertical resolution is a little more than twice as much compared to 1080p and that's how the projector can tell that it's 3d frame packed and switch output automatically.
