Pixstar photo frame

Hi there. I was wondering if anybody has tried to write a device integration for the pixstar frames. They have a motion sensor and are capable of a whole lot of things. It would be great to somehow make use of it. Unfortunately I’m not good at writing code. Any ideas?

There may be some hacks; but unless there is some significant overlap between SmartThings customers and Pixstar customers, I doubt anyone has bothered to try to integrate.

The frame uses wifi and has dnla capabilities. It would be awesome to use the frame as a chime and motion sensor

Tip : Please, just install one time the MediaRenderer Connect from the phone, If you have…
