Passing commands vis HTTP to SageTV

[sota]

Does anyone know if it's possible to pass HTTP commands to Sage? Given that there is a web UI plugin available, it should work. I want to use the Home Automation bridge from here http://bwssystems.com/#/habridge to pass commands to Sage TV.

Check out sagex-api/sagex-services plugins.

Sota, I'm curious what you'd want to do with that. Something similar to tmiranda's echo skill, except not for alexa? Does your system have voice command or are you just thinking about controlling Sage through your HA interface?

What are the dependencies for running sagex API?

I've installed the plugin and the URL fails:

localhost/sagetv/api

Do I need to manually install Jetty plugin?

oops...

1. installed sagex-api instead of sagex-services...
2. url is: localhost:8080/sagex/api not localhost/sagex/api

after installing sagex-services and restarting works.

Apologies, been tied up with work for the week. Thanks stuckless for the information. @pjpjpjpj, yes I want it for voice control of SageTV via Alexa. I can already power on the TV and select the correct input using the Hamony control on the HA Bridge, but I would also like to be able to change channels and use pause, play and mute features by passing http commands to the SageTV server. I don't really need any of the advanced features provided by tmirandas skill.

So far, I have been able to get a response from the sagex-api but I don't see a method of passing commands to an HD300 rather than to the server.

To pass commands to a client you need to pass the client's UI context in the request as well. You can call GetUIContextNames to get a list of connected clients. (Check the sagex api for how to pass a ui context in the url)

THanks, that worked - It returns the MAC addresses of the HD300. Time to start experimenting!
