Could we please see a BLGW driver for the Ikea Tradfri system? There seems to be more and more about the API on the web.

Hi Beojeff,

Tradfri Lights can be integrated through the Philips Hue Hub. There is currently no official API for the Tradfri hub and for this reason we haven't developed direct integration yet. When/If Ikea release an API we will definately look into it :)

Hello to all,

is there a way to control am epson projector via http? I suppose yes since there is an app to control it via phone/tablet. I tried the http custom driver but with no success. Any ideas on how to proceed?

I use the following command to trigger a power on and run it two times to trigger power off (power off, are you sure?), this is cURL-formatted.

curl -vo- -u EPSONMOBILE: "http://__PROJECTOR_IP_ADDRESS__/cgi-bin/directsend?KEY=3B&_=1570092769531" -H "Accept: */*" -H "Referer: http://__IP_ADDRESS__/cgi-bin/webconf" -H "X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest"

Question:

If I have a BLI with a Harmony, and have a Google mini for assist.

Can I say "Hi Google corner" And then the TV turn on, turn to the corner, Dim the light. Lower the Curtains. And start Friends on Netflix from where I left off?

Also does the BLI work with IKEA curtains?

The problem with integrating through the Hue hub is that updates can cause the Tradfri devices to unpair and it is very difficult to re-pair to the Hue hub because they must be in very close proximity for the pairing. Also, the physical trigger buttons cannot be used. We really, truly need a proper driver.

Hello thanks for the reply can you elaborate a bit...

Hi Emil, that's a very nice automation idea! You can indeed implement it in the Pro BLI by configuring a Macro and excecuting it through Google Assistant. IKEA curtains are not supported.

Hi Tassos, from that cURL example, the HTTP custom driver should be set to something like:


Headers: {"Accept": "*/*", "Referer": "http://__IP_ADDRESS__/cgi-bin/webconf","X-Requested-With": "XMLHttpRequest"}

Resource address: /directsend?KEY=3B&_=1570092769531;

I recommend that you define this last part of the URL in the endpoint of the resource address, as it looks like it might change when sending other commands to the projector.

What Curtain do you recommend?

And BOTF made a solution with IKEA curtains on the BLGW, would that work on the BLI? or not something you would recommend

Is it possible to integrate Netatmo security (cameras) and energy (thermostat) devices into Beoliving?
I use several Netatmo smart cameras and it would be great to access Netatmo devices via Beoliving app.
