SmartThings Current State is Stalled?

[jody.albritton (Jody)]

A developer in the community is working on Kodi integration with notifications and control functions. IFTTT before tasker because it’s on both platforms and you just sign in and go. Tasker is aimed directly at power users. I think the more valid question to ask is who is SmartThings targeting, power users or the average consumer?

Having just built a theater pc with Kodi, I can tell you it’s not just a simple install. I do have it working with my harmony home hub and will have it integrated into ST fairly soon.

No clue as of yet, at least locally (still trying to figure that out). If you don’t mind opening a port on your router and going outside your LAN, there is a httpPostJson example in the docs. You could also send this from HAM Bridge, triggered by a simple get request. Of course if you need to send live params and parse them HAM Bridge does not support that yet (and may never).
