Alright sorry for the late update, its the last month of school so exams are coming up. I've been trying to get websockets to work in elm with little success. I tried following the instructions here: https://github.com/billstclair/elm-webso...tree/4.1.0 to use ports but I guess I'm still unfamiliar with where to put the port definitions. Unless @Razze or someone else can offer some advice, I think I'm going to try and find a working elm 0.18 websocket example and try adapting that to communicate with Kodi.

Okay! Some success, I got this example running and communicating with Kodi: https://github.com/MattCheely/elm-port-examples. It uses Node as well as Elm which is kinda strange but I'm working on understanding it now and hopefully I can get a pure Elm solution running soon.

That's expected, that's the whole point of ports

This might also be worth a read https://guide.elm-lang.org/interop/ports.html

Ah thanks, yeah I'm slowly understanding the ecosystem of elm; its a little strange to me. I read the documentation you linked and I'm going to get the examples you linked running on my laptop next. Adapting those should be next.

you might want to reread/ check the docs, as it has been updated in the last days https://guide.elm-lang.org/interop/

Ah okay thanks for the heads up! So sending some actions like play/pause are pretty straightforward and I have those rigged up to buttons. The harder actions are ones where you have to wait to get the response and then update some information, I'm still figuring out how to do this but I wanted to give an update.

Thank you, much appreciated.
