Kodi: pimatic addon (KODI-Addon) UPDATE 28.09.16

---

Hi,
rewrote this addon from scratch. Should now be more stable and work for most devices.
I will add some screenshots.

I removed some features like context menu and changed the layout marginal.
The addon is now listed as ‘programm addon’

My intention was to give a full pimatic interface like in the browser.
So first you can choose your page (eg Favourites) and in the next screen are all devices listed on this page.
If you click eg a ‘temperature-device’ you can see it’s values. If you click a ‘switch-device’ you can read/set it’s state

.

Please ask any question you have.
Feature requests are also welcome!
If you find a bug, please enable debug log in settings and upload log to pastebin.com

.

Update 28/09/2016:
Updated to v0.5:

• rewrote addon

.

At the end of this post you’ll find the download link to the zip file.

Big thanks to @leader21 for testing!

@SLiX Hi, i think there is already a pimatic addon for kodi, do you want to restart from scratch?

@SLiX Did you review tte existing kodi plugin? Isn’t this be a good starting point for your effort?

Just to get things right : This is a kodi plugin for pimatic and not a pimatic plugin for kodi.
It will run on kodi and lists the pimatic devices in kodi.
so i guess the pimatic plugin for reference will be of no help.

@leader21 Thanks for the clarification. I’d just glanced over the first post instead of reading it carefully.

@mwittig no problem! usually it’s a pimatic plugin in development, this time it’s the other way round. a plugin within another software. i like the idea!

I’m curious about this addon and promised @SLiX to install kodi again when he’s up with the first working version

update in first post

Sorry for the deadlink but I don’t wanna provide a faulty version

I will look into it next week… Thanks anyway!

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Hadn’t time to look into the addon.
But the last days I added some features and fixed the existing bugs (I hope so)
Update to v0.2.5

@kenci

been testing it already for @SLiX
works good for me!
very nice work dude

rewrote the addon from scratch, if you’re using kodi, please give it a try and report errors with debug log

it’s so hilarious!
if you ask me - a must have for a kodi and pimatic user
thx for your efforts and this very nice kodi add on @SLiX

main menu overview

pages overview

a really interessting feature is the rule triggering.
you are able to trigger the THEN part of all your rules manually

i will try it

the link is dead, error 404

@heiko1988 Sorry, link should work now

where i cant find the log file in kodi (openelec).

i can see my pages but cant select anything

Thanks for the plugin. Works great on LibreELEC 7.0.2.
